​        Don't know what District you belong to?  Click on the map to find out.

On December 31, 2018, District 5 officers dissolved the district. Because no members could be found to reinstate the district, the Board of Directors voted on August 3, 2019 to allow District 5 members the choice of belonging to either District 1 - the Great Falls area - or District 3 - the Bozeman area.  

If you would like to reinstate District 5, or establish a smaller district in the northeast, please contact President Rick Montgomery at 406- 381-4363 or Secretary Sandra at 406-836-7081.
