2025 Aging Well Event Great Success!
The Aging Well in the Swan event was excellent. Big thanks to Deborah and Gayle for buying and making food, making arrangements logistics etc. And thank you to all the people who made deserts and the folks that bought them, Fred for auctioning them off and Grace and the Merc for the taco meats. And thank you to Smoke and Thelma Elser who at age 91 drove up so Smoke could be our guest speaker. I wonder how many people actually knew you could pack a piano on a horse 12 miles. Smoke was amazed at the sense of community he felt and kept complimenting every one who came, saying that he just doesn’t see that kind of community around much any more. And thank you to Steve Lamar for his Swan Valley Trivia questions, and for finally buying a cake. Thank you to all the people who helped set up and take down, and thank you to the Community Club for the use of the hall. Finally thank you to the wonderful people that came and shared a meal, stories and desert. Good day, good event, we will do it again!

2024 Youth Outdoor Education Rendezvous is a big success
The First annual Swan Valley Youth Outdoor Education Rendezvous was held on June 15th. What a day, what an event! With big smiles and rapt attention, children and parents experienced hands on learning about ten outdoor skills. This was in spite of inclement weather, rain, wind and temperatures so cold the snow line dropped to about five thousand feet on the Swan Mountains.

See 2024 Youth for the story.

Swan Valley Community Foundation Youth Outdoor Education Rendezvous volunteers setting the American Legion Ball Field up for the rendezvous tomorrow. Volunteer’s efforts for the last month mowing, cleaning up down trees and vegetation and generally sprucing things up came to fruition today as they moved in the tents and equipment for tomorrow’s event. See 2024 Youth for full story.
