Circle 100 Club News and Information - Fall 2022
Whether you are a long-time resident or a new neighbor in our valley, you may have heard of The Circle 100 Club. We are here to enlighten you and ask for your enthusiastic support.
The Circle 100 Club was started in 2012 as an offshoot of The Broadwater Community Health Foundation. In that year our little hospital was hit with a blow to its finances when it lost its Medicare funding. A group of hardy souls took up the cause to save the institution…especially the Long-Term Care Facility whose beloved residents were moved to Helena and other cities far from their families.
In these ten years, the Circle 100 Club has raised funds to procure equipment and facility upgrades as recommended by the hospital staff. Now that Billings Clinic has provided stability and excellent care for our citizens in general, the needs of our Long-Term care facility will be our focus. The comfort and personal needs of each Long-Term resident will be our priority.
The original vision of Circle 100 Club membership was to make an annual donation of $100 and have one meeting per year. Those meetings were to celebrate our good deeds and decide on the next purchases. Unfortunately, the COVID pandemic has interrupted these celebrations but we are ever hopeful for the future. In our last year, your contributions purchased a blanket/towel warmer (beloved by all), an insulated meal delivery cart and over-the-bed tables.
Your contribution this year is vital. Please renew your membership or join us for the first time. Your contribution will make a difference to the people who reside there. You can mail your tax-deductible donation check to:
The Circle 100 Club, P. O. Box 1215, Townsend MT 59644
If you have any inquiries or suggestions, please contact any of us.
