Editor,

The Flathead Valley Citizens’ Climate Lobby Earth Day Expo team would like to thank the Flathead Valley community for making this year’s event a success. Through the support of the whole community we gathered for hands-on learning and conversations on nurturing our environment and strengthening our bonds in the Flathead Valley. 

We would like to thank our platinum sponsors this year: Northstone Solar, Carbon Recall, and Pioneer Heating and Cooling. They, along with many other sponsors and booth purchasers provided financial support that helped us secure the Flathead Valley Community College venue and provide other valuable services to make the event a success.

We’d also like to especially thank Annie Gustafson and the local youth from Columbia Falls, Glacier and Flathead High Schools for their strong and heartfelt participation. Their knowledge and enthusiasm is an encouragement to us all for preserving our outdoor way of life for them and future generations.

Next, we have to thank the many local experts, community leaders, business owners, and organizations who signed up to share their stories and expertise. We appreciate how you interacted with our community and shared information on values, resources, technology, our natural world and issues facing our Valley and all Montanans.  A special shout-out to Tom McDonald, Vice-Chair of CSKT, for his keynote address, which reinforced the criticality of giving back to our communities and sharing our stories.

Finally, we need to offer a big round of applause to the 24 Flathead Valley Citizens’ Climate Lobby volunteers who spent their Saturday with us. You supported the event by managing the EV showcase, introducing speakers, moderating panel discussions, and staffing booths. You put your heart into making this day special and we could not have done it without you.
