CHAPTER WEBSITE The Montana Chapter now has its own website. The address is geocities.com/rainforest/jungle/5432/. The site contains the newsletter, a list of Montana Chapter Officers, our mission statement, information on the Chapter's Endowment Fund, a history of the Montana Chapter, an SWCS fact sheet, and a membership form. Look for new items in the future such as scholarship application forms. There are also plans to link this site to our conservation partners' sites. Be sure to bookmark this site as it is not searchable through search engines because geocities is a free and very large service. Many thanks to Dan and Juelie McLean for pulling the website together.
