Roundup Record Tribune & Winnett Times -

Our previous CMR Community Working Group meeting told the collaborative and compelling story surrounding the response to the Lodgepole Complex fires of 2017. This story exemplifies the efforts of everyone who calls this region their home, the land where they have lived and worked sometimes for generations.

There are many more stories just like this one waiting to be told by every member of this proud community. On October 1st the Charles M. Russel Community Working Group is holding a meeting and workshop hosted by MSU Professor Suzi Taylor on Discovering and Describing Your Working Lands Stories.

The CMR Community Working Group wants to help you develop the tools to discover and describe your own story and the story of the communities surrounding the CMR. Stories are powerful tools and when told by the community can reflect the reality of living on working lands in rural Montana. The CMR Community Working Group invites you to attend our October 1st meeting located in Jordan VFW Hall starting at 10:00 AM and spread our stories to the rest of the world.
