Speaker Melanie Skoyen MSU Northern Alumni Director of Development. Melanie has been Director for 2.5 years. Raising funds for dorms / students see dorms as a shortcoming and need to be updated to recruit more students

Some Alumni will donate if funds don’t go to athletics.

Will help with recruiting students

Cost of education and living in Havre is way better than most schools in state

Have hoops to jump through

Sponsoring a room refurbishing should cost $16k and your name would go on room

$130,00 has come in in first week many people want to support

Will keep funds for what donor wants

Dan Korb will be at a meeting to get a plan, and they will get rolling right away.

No assistance from the state/ project doesn’t deal with education so no state funds

Auxiliary funds must support themselves; student fees are not very much at all at Northern

60 rooms in Morgan give Morgan a face lift/ McKinzie has been done not as bad as Morgan

Northern has enough rooms and buildings on campus, just need to update rooms

Larry Garrison: Acting Dist Gov. Program

Election next weekend in Kalispell

Challenge today to find new members. We are getting older. Many of us will not be here in 20 years. We need to get more younger members

Diabetes is spreading so fast around the world. Lions will start working on diabetes this summer. Also will start working on childhood cancer.

100 years ago focus was on orphans. 1925 Invited Helen Keller talked about blindness and deafness. Went from orphans and widows to sight and hearing.

Years later Helen was asked if

Lions had done what she expected. She said they did way more than what she expected.

Next 100 years develop: Lions serve 58 million a year. In 5 years hope to serve 200 million a year.

Improve our visibility

When great catastrophe Lions go, but we don't have publicity to promote us.

When you have time – publicize what you do with web, plaque, when we meet

 

Training for officers:

Encourage membership and improve membership value and reach out to new market.

Need more Lions and need to focus on the value of being a Lion

We need to work together with other groups

Lion Larry would like us to put on another convention. Was a time when could count on Havre and Lewistown because they were center of state.

 

What can the district and international do for us.

Baker – if lions asked could have got 10k for them in three days, after tornado.

3 years ago emergency recovery grant $20k to help on recovery for

It is not maybe money. It is there. All we need to prove the need.

Now trying to get a grant for generator for shelter at Baker, because it did not have last year when needed at shelter.

Grants: Fort Benton raising money for hospital for heating and cooling – Larry sent information in and it will take a while – but should get 80 to 100 k dollars for it

When you as a club are looking for needs of a community, the last thing to look at is cost. Need to look at what it needs and then get a hold of dist gov. Can't guarantee, but if you don't ask, you won't get anything. You need to ask.

 

All kinds of grans out there for us . We need to ask and apply.

Judy Neely: Montana Association Of Blind: Legally blind: less than 2200. If you can see less 2200 feet away. She can see about 10 ft. on bicycle goes faster than eyes adjusts. Not all doom and gloom: They work with national group. Main goal is put on school at Carol College for those losing vision. If loosing vision eyes can't keep up. Teach adults how to adjust. The white cane hits something ahead of you. Sound tells what you are bumping into. Talk to them about guide dogs along with canes.

Dogs won't take you where you want to go without you telling them. Good for people with low vision. Dog takes care of you. 3 yr of school before assigned. At school teach about all the equipment available. Can be independent at home. Close circuit TV. Computer classes. Use computers like a seeing person. Come into school like kindergarten and afraid. Month of school feeling much better.

Some of the classes : Braille, cooking, wood working and how our life has changed, Use electric magnifier. Electronic magnify even more. Veterans: have programs for them

Montana association for the blind lend money for equipment

 

Chancellor: Kegel:

Northern is important: Greg started Northern in 1972 and has been in Havre and Northern ever since.

Economic important to Havre and area.

Good programs will sell themselves.

44 companies showed up for job fair.

Working with hi-line superintendents to get students to come to Northern

Northern Fits a niche:

Have to sustain themselves.

Diesel center building: Area big enough to pull Caterpillar in.

Area where kids will want to come in and study. Will help to recruit kids.

To get students to come to Northern it needs to be a area, which is better than where they came from.

4. For new building: million from state. Raised 3.9 million. Last session Kris Hansen finagle more money for project.

Yesterday got another 250,000 in match. Project is in good shape. It is in the bank.

Looking to increase enrollment from 1250 to 1500 students.

New Stadium:

Blue pony stadium does not allow college to do what they need to do. Want their own. What if we build a stadium? Looking at what the investment is and what will they get back.

Rodeo Program: Horse operations south of town. Dillon is larger than northern. Equine program has increased it. Would increase 50 students in barrel racing: for rodeo club.

Sustainable agricultural.

Donaldson Hall: abandoned. Sound. Stuck 300k in 2 years ago. Need to figure out what to do with Donaldson hall. Maybe change into vet center. Interest in this.

 

Looking at doing things for Native American students. 12 percent of population of college is native. Received grant to help with retention of native American students. Need to feel like they belong. Need to make Northern help them feel like they belong.

Greg Kegel is more than just a diesel chancellor. Likes fine arts. Is looking at what is best for Northern.

Have partnership with dean in Great Falls. 2 classes of graduating seniors. Will try to build on that. 500 students will be checking out Northern end of April.

Skills America will be here in 2 wks. This all works to get more students here. They will see what there is at Northern. Hope to get many to come to school at Northern.

Enrollment is up 25 students this semester. Almost 2 faculty members.

Will be breaking ground on diesel building. Bid letting is first of July. Contact awarded end of July.

Housing? 200K improvements to bathrooms at Morgan hall. North wing has been vacant since 1986. Need masks to enter anymore. Brought in team to eliminate asbestos. Completely clean. Room for 120 students there. They need to take care of buildings. Can't just shut door and walk away.

Havre Trails is looking for support for trails in the Bear Paw mountains. They are working as a liaison between rocky boy and county. Links to Beaver Creek trail with Rocky Boy and is to go to White buffalo and ski hill. The Trails group is to be responsible for the part from the boundary to the water falls on the reservation.

Rocky Boy counsel is in line with what they want.

Havre Trails is proposing to put in gravel up to water falls. Reservation will take care of rest. Lions Campground is adjacent to trail, so they thought we may be interested in supporting monetarily or with physical help. Havre Trails received grant to work on trails. They have support from Hi-line board of realtors and others.

Thanks for sponsoring the rodeo in the past.

Change: it will be open rodeo and get more people in, high school, Canadian, ranch bronc riding. They are doing what we can and give kids a chance to get involved in rodeo. No change in sponsorship: Will do rodeo themselves instead of giving to national org.
