ALA Department Fundraiser

July 2026

Hello, Auxiliary members,

At our Department Convention we voted to hold our own Girls State program, it was a unanimous vote. In order to achieve this, we will need to band together and make some money. Grants are being written, donations are being solicited, AND we are having an exciting Raffle!

We appropriated from Montana Outfitters a two (2) person, a two (2) night, three (3) day all inclusive, scenic guided float trip on the Missouri River. This is a relaxing, 47-mile trip down the Missouri River between Coal Banks Landing (1.5 hours from Great Falls, MT) and Judith Landing. Experience the wildlife and White Cliffs, (Eagle Sandstone and Shonkinite) bluffs towering 200 to 300 feet over the water, one of Montana’s iconic river corridors.

A breathtaking stretch of the Upper Missouri National Wild and Scenic River within the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument. This was a route traveled by the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The area remains virtually unchanged since the Expedition.

Please contact me for tickets, some were taken at the Conventions but we have quite a few more to sell. Like I said, this needs to be a joint effort by all of us. As soon as you call for tickets, I put them in the mail.

Attached is a Flyer you can print off to advertise.
