The Chapter has an annual fund-raiser or banquet held in a different Montana city each year. This is the major source of all the funds generated to support the project needs and a general membership meeting is held where members can share in an exchange of ideas and conservation discussions. The success of the chapter rests in the hands and volunteer efforts of the members. Working closely with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks personnel, National WSF in Cody, Wyoming and other state chapters, the Montana Chapter has been successful in supporting many projects and fulfilling the overall objective of putting and keeping more sheep on the mountain.
