130 W. Pine Street, hosts the Missoula Downtown Foundation (MDF) Monday, August
10 starting at 6pm. Thomas Meagher Bar’s
Community Night donates 20% of all food and drink to a worthy cause and the MDF
is this coming Monday night’s non-profit recipient. The community is encouraged to attend the
event to enjoy drinks, appetizers and food, all to help further the mission of
the MDF.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">“As the MDF gears up for its annual Friends of Downtown
Campaign, beginning in September, Community Night at the Meagher Bar provides
one more valuable opportunity to let people know what our mission is and what
we are working on,” said Colleen Rudio, President of the MDF Board of
Directors. “Missoula’s business
community continues to be creative in offering non-profit organization’s
exposure, raising needed funds, and giving back to the community at large.”</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The MDF is committed to enhancing and supporting the cultural,
historical and economic vibrancy by funding Downtown Missoula projects. Currently,
the MDF is working on funding several key projects in Downtown Missoula,
including Wayfinding, a pedestrian signage system in Downtown Missoula and
several informational kiosks. The kiosks
will focus on historical, cultural, and business aspects of Downtown, but have yet
to be designed or funds secured.
Additional projects needing funding include the on-going management of
the Play It Missoula! piano project, and repairs to existing Downtown holiday
décor electrical wiring and electrical boxes. More than $30,000 in repairs is
needed in order to install Downtown holiday décor this coming holiday
season. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><br></span></p><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;margin:0px"><b><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><font size="4">Leidy Wagener</font></font></b></p><p style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;margin:0px"><b><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:13px">Operations Coordinator</span></font></b></p><p style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;margin:0px"><b style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><font size="4" face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><img src="http://www.missouladowntown.com/wp-content/uploads/dmpsquarembossedpetite.jpg" width="96" height="47"></font></b></p><p style="font-size:13px;margin:0px"><span style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif">Downtown Missoula Partnership </span></p><p style="font-size:13px;margin:0px"><span style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif"><br></span></p><p style="font-size:13px;margin:0px"><span style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif">218 E Main | Missoula, MT </span></p><p style="font-size:13px;margin:0px"><a value="+14065434238" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif;color:rgb(17,85,204)">406.543.4238 | </a><a href="http://www.missouladowntown.com/" title="http://www.missouladowntown.com/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">missouladowntown.com</a></p><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
