July August 2025 YVW Yellowstone Valley features GFWC/BJWC !
In May of 2025 the Communications/PR Chairwoman called a YVW Yellowstone Valley Woman Magazine that features outstanding Yellowstone County women. It is printed every other month. She talked with the owner about the possibility of featuring GFWC Billings Junior Woman’s Club. She liked the idea and took contact information from the chairwoman to feature GFWC Billings Junior Woman’s Club. In June, our past GFWC Montana State President and our current GFWC/BJWC President were contacted and gave the author excellent information about our club.
The article was written by Linda Halstead-Acharya and published in the July/August 2025 Edition. The complete article can be found on our website gfwcbillings.com on the About Us Page.
The best thing that has happened, we have two new members that connected us after reading the article and joined the club. We have received communication from many other interested woman. At another cub activity “Boo at the Zoo” The magazine was on the table for community members attending the event and many mentioned seeing the article and did know about us. A great connection was made in our community.

FYI - Local realtor Don Floberg's stepson designed and built the playground at The Children's Receiving Home (Pooh's Too!) for his Eagle Scout project.The design included curved sidewalks because he thought children would enjoy that more than just a straight walkway.​He painted the playground equipment in red, white, and blue to celebrate our country's 200th birthday in 1976.
