1. Red, White
and Zoo: ZooMontana will be holding its first ever “RED,
WHITE, and ZOO” event on
Sunday, September 7, 2014 and we are looking
to you to be a part of
this historic event!
“RED, WHITE, and ZOO” is planned to memorialize the events that
took place on September 11, 2001. On Sunday, September 7th, ZooMontana, in conjunction with the community of Billings, will paint
a 10,000 square foot flag to honor those affected
by
the 9/11 tragedy. Pierce RV has temporarily
donated field space across from
ZooMontana while Sherwin Williams has agreed to donate the environmentally friendly paint needed for the project. Created by Rocky Mountain College alum Zac Bonhoff. During
the Student
Life Experience activity on
8/23/14, RMC volunteers will be tye dying
100 t-shirts
that will be handed out to
volunteers who
will supporting
the creation of the flag on September 7th. We are using this opportunity to talk to students about 9/11 and the commitment to service.
2. Red Cross Roll Call: We are hoping to inspire college students to make every day a day of service by having three guests from the American Red Cross of Montana
share their experience about serving at Ground Zero and during the Oklahoma City bombings. After
each guest presents there will be time to have a brief Q &A
with each person. The goal will be to have at least 15 students attend the event who will
be interested in attending the disaster institute and get involved with Rocky’s initiatives around Ready Campus.
3. On 9/11 during the day we will also create a big thank you banner to be given to the Billings Fire
Department.

On September 11th 2014
Participants and volunteers with receive professional level training in fire
reduction methodology on national park trail systems. A trainer will be
provided at no cost from the Lone Pine State Park. Once our volunteers are
certified we will finalize all plans for the September 14th
service project. Fire reduction is imperative to mitigation disasters in NW
Montana.
Our event is being held at Lone Pine
State Park on September 14, 2014. We
will arrive at the park at 10am and go over details as to what we will be
doing. One part of the project is to
pull noxious weeds around the park.
These weeds are a threat to Montana’s environment and when they invade
and spread, they cause a reduction in wildlife forage and degrade fisheries
through erosion and sediment buildup.
This will help control the weeds and improve fire safety. Another project we will be working on is checking
the sapling trees. Mature trees were
removed in 2007 from an infestation of dwarf mistletoe. They were removed to prevent dwarf
mistletoe from spreading and also to reduce the risk of fire from trees that
dwarf mistletoe has killed. To replace
the trees that had been lost, they planted the sapling trees. Dwarf mistletoe spreads easily and can be
very dangerous. Branches in the trees
retain water, rendering them heavy, and can potentially fall on someone. The new sapling trees have nets on them
that need to be monitored. If the
trees are big enough, we will remove the nets. If not, we will adjust accordingly. These nets cover the terminal bud at the
top of the tree, protecting it from wildlife.
We will be in the park for a
full day and hope to remove a substantial amount of noxious weeds and able to
check a lot of the sapling trees.

The 9/11 service project will be held at
the Blackfeet Community College. I will be putting on a feed for the veterans
in the community. The veterans will be able to invite their families if they
would like. They are also going to learn about cultural healing as an option
for recovering from PTSD, which affects most veterans who have been involved
in war.

Project Description
Please describe
your event with details about target audience,
volunteer activities and desired outcomes. Toiletries are one of the easiest
things to donate,
yet
also
one of the most easily overlooked necessities for people in need. Our project will truly honor the intent of the 9/11 National
Day of Service through benefitting our veterans, helping
organization prepare for emergencies and disasters, and getting the community involved
through volunteering and donating. We will be placing collection
boxes around town from 9/11-9/25 for community members
to
donate toiletries. To kick off the event we'll be manning a booth outside of the drug store and supermarket to drum up more donations.
Our use of grant funds will be primarily to match donations
to boost the impact we have on our community members.
Our primary beneficiaries are local nonprofits that work directly with community members in need. These groups are:
-Domestic and Sexual
Violence Serves which provides temporary, emergency assistance to those
facing domestic and sexual
violence (often in the form of
clothing, motels, etc.) as well as long-term support.
-BareTooth Cupboards which provides food to community members
in need. They hand out toiletries
when available but do not have
a steady stream
to provide their
clients.
-Yellow Ribbon Communities which provides
assistance to local, visiting, and transient veterans. Assistance often comes in the form of motels, car repairs, and other financial assistance.
-Red Cross which provides
emergency assistance during
disasters, often in the form of clothing
and
shelter.

Collaborative fire canvassing project in the East Missoula
neighborhood on September 111"1
American Red Cross of Montana, Northwestern Energy and East Missoula Fire are partnering to complete a fire canvassing project in the East Missoula
neighborhood on September 11'". Missoula Office of Emergency Management will be joining to promote Smart911
phone services and how to receive alerts during emergencies.
The purpose of this priority disaster
preparedness activity is to increase
the knowledge of home
house
fires, hopefully increase the number of fire alarms and
provide the knowledge to build a disaster
plan. An additional
outcome would be to increase
awareness and alleviate human suffering.
Cross- stream
collaboration between AmeriCorps VISTA and Missoula
Aging Services Senior
Corps will
provide volunteers for this campus-community project that engages volunteers to support September
11Day of Service & Remembrance activities.
AmeriCorps VISTA and Missoula
Aging Services Senior Corps serving
together to meet this vital community disaster
preparedness not only add value to their service it will add an
important intergenerational aspect to the project.
The partners
sponsoring the fire canvassing project will provide public
outreach promoting the project and
expected
outcomes.
Senior Corps,
AmeriCorps/Vista, Red Cross and community-wide volunteers will meet in the East Missoula Fire Department's parking lot for training, a safety briefing, dinner
and an opportunity to reflect
upon the sacrifices of those who lost their lives or rose in service as a result
of the events of 9/11/0.
