The Montana State Court invites you to the CA T C D A of th 55 S ER DAUGH LIC T O H Billings, Montana July 16-20, 2014 TH A S OF Biennial National Convention ® E AMERI C in beautiful Billings, Montana! July 16-20, 2014 Montana’s Big Sky Country, and all of its 1 million inhabitants, extend a very warm welcome to all Catholic Daughters of the Americas. Whether you are traveling from the East, West, or South we hope your destination will be Billings, Montana July 14-20th 2014. As Montana State Regent, I consider it both an honor and a privilege for Montana to host the 55th Biennial National Convention—a first ever for Montana. The State Officers and I, along with the members of all nine courts, are pouring heart and soul into activities in order to guarantee a pleasant and exciting experience for everyone. We are preparing for approximately 1000 guests as this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many to have such an experience in such a great state! Come early and join our many exciting tours. Experience the quiet solitude which Lewis and Clark enjoyed, then visit General Custer’s Last Stand and Museum, and on the way home feast on Indian tacos and or fry bread. Yellowstone and its tributaries, the Beartooth Highway, scenic Look Out, and shopping in the town of Red Lodge all add to the flavor called Montana. If you are a “staying in the city” person, we have the historic tours of downtown Billings where you will find a world famous hatter, antiques and restaurants (perhaps for your State night party). If you are unable to visit Our Lady of the Rockies at Butte, Montana, (a lesson in government and religion working together to make things happen) then, we will bring her and her story and glory to you during the convention. Kelly Idhe, First Vice State Regent, has put together an interesting Walk/Run For Love and many other Montana Catholic Daughters are working on decorations, liturgies, luncheons, registration, meals, raffles and everything else that makes a Convention of this magnitude happen. Last, but certainly not least, Fun Night on Friday the 18th of July, is a jam packed evening of tummy-stuffing food, great entertainment, and time to get together with friends from previous conventions even if it is just to say, “Howdy,” or “Can you sit with me and chat a spell?” We will have events, both indoors and outdoors—something for everyone. We are looking forward to meeting all 1000 of you, and wish you joy, peace, and safe travels.
