October Program

Did you know that the Bozeman School District (BSD7) supplies services and support for K-12 homeless or home-insecure students?

Join us Tuesday, October 13, via Zoom at 6:30 p.m.

Anna Edwards, Program Director for the McKinney-Vento Families in Transition Program, will enlighten us on our Bozeman homeless student situation and explain the BSD7’s program to support these K-12 children and families in our community. She has served in this role for 8 years and has much to share with all of us.

Through our Charity Committee, Gallatin Quilt Guild members have been involved with the BSD7 homeless students for several years through this program, including contributing 115 quilts for these students over the last 5 years!

During the meeting, we will make our 2020 virtual presentation of quilts – a contribution of an additional 42 quilts!

Come learn and celebrate with Anna and all of us!.

We’re meeting via Zoom from the comfort and safety of our homes! To join us on your computer, iPad, or smart phone, please refer to the “Using Zoom for GQG” pdf attachment included in the President’s Letter, which will be emailed to you a week before the program.
