The Billings Downtown Rotary Club partnered with Billings City Parks and Recreation in a pilot project to plant a fruit orchard in Rose Park. This “Editable Forest” will consist of a total of twenty trees.  This is the first of what the city. Parks and Recreation Division plans for other parks in the future.  The trees were planted on the west side of Rose Park on Friday, May 18th.

On December 15th, we completed our holiday food basket drive for the 2017 season.  We packed 800 food baskets inclusive of both our Thanksgiving and Christmas  drives.  Approximately 15 -20 members of the club, with the support of some family members, Rotaract Club members, and volunteers Food Services of America packed 450 bags during each session approximately one week before each holiday.    The club successfully attained our pledge contribution goal of $24,000 with the cost of each basket at $30.  Food Services of America procured the food and forwarded only the raw cost of the products to the club.   Family Services then distributed the food baskets to needy families in the Billings community.   The holiday food basket drive is over a 30 year tradition of our club.
