Dear BNI Big Sky Network Members,
Our chapter leaders are graciously planning a December Friendsgiving and partnering with NAMI Flathead, and I couldn’t be more excited to share this opportunity with you. Many BNI chapters across the country take time during the holidays to support a local nonprofit, and this year BNI Big Sky Network is bringing that wonderful tradition to our own chapter.
As a representative of NAMI Flathead, I’m truly touched by this gesture of generosity. It inspired me to think about how we could give back in a way that reaches the heart of what we do — supporting individuals and families navigating mental health challenges.
While monetary donations are always appreciated and make a difference, we believe the power of words of encouragement can be just as impactful.
Here’s how you can participate:
🩵 Bring a handwritten note or art postcard with a message of encouragement, gratitude, or hope (examples: “You matter,” “You’re not alone,” or “Thank you for supporting someone you love through tough times”).
✉️ Notes can be anonymous or signed, lengthy or short, whichever feels right to you.
💵 If you wish, tuck a small donation inside your card or envelope — every bit helps NAMI Flathead continue offering free programs, classes, and support for our community.
🎨 Feel free to use a Montana-themed or creative postcard so these messages become beautiful keepsakes.
These messages will be displayed on a “Messages of Hope & Healing” Board at NAMI Flathead’s support groups and community programs — a lasting reminder that our business community stands united in compassion and care. Please bring them to the in-person meeting on December 4 or give to Dawn Jackson anytime.
Thank you all for bringing both generosity and heart to our Friendsgiving gathering. Together, we can make this season and the future brighter for so many.
Warm regards,
Dawn Jackson
President, NAMI Flathead
