Zentangle Workshop
In this course, participants will explore the “Zentangle Method,” an easy-to-learn, relaxing and fun way to create miniature pieces of non-representational art. You will learn to draw the structured, repetitive patterns that are the foundation of this artform. The course also teaches the Zentangle meditative process where artists ground themselves in the present moment and connect to their body and breath. This is a great opportunity to learn a new way to express your creativity, practice relaxation and improve your focus. You do not need any previous drawing experience or expensive, specialized materials. The course instructor will supply high quality materials for the lesson (included in cost). At home, you can make Zentangle art with a pen, a pencil and a piece of paper.
Date: Thursday, June 4
Time:
10:00 a.m. to Noon (MST)
Location:
Online via Webex
Cost:
$27.00 (includes materials)

Seeking Virtual Ambassadors
Are you comfortable learning new computer skills and not afraid to occasionally troubleshoot? Do you have a relatively up-to-date computer? Enjoy meeting new people? This may be a fun undertaking for you!
MSU Wonderlust is seeking a handful of ambassadors to help host our vitual programming events during the summer and fall.
Once we identify a minimum of six volunteers (we have 2 so far!), we will host a Virtual Ambassador training with MSU staff. Training will include: Webex navigation and troubleshooting, online etiquette, online presenter orientation and member coaching.
Being a tech guru is not necessary. Enthusiasm for learning, (basic) online presentation skills and a congenial personality are a must.

This Time in Montana History
During this time in Montana history, gold was discovered in Alder Gulch!
On May 26, 1863, six men discovered gold along a stream fringed with alder trees roughly 50 miles west of Big Sky, Montana. With their find, Barney Hughes, Thomas Cover, Henry Rodgers, William Fairweather, Henry Edgar and Bill Sweeney prompted 200 miners to come to the area, and within weeks Alder Gulch became a well-known gold mining site. At the height, 30,000 gold prospectors were established there, and a make-shift road connected the numerous mining settlements, also called the "Fourteen-mile City."
