The conversation started at our kickoff dinner. Join your neighbors and help us keep it going.
Ronan Community Heart & Soul® is a local initiative powered by the people of Ronan. Over a series of community gatherings this fall, we’ll listen to each other’s stories, find out what matters most to the people who live here, and turn it into a shared vision for our town’s future.
Ronan was selected for the Community Heart & Soul Montana Getting Started Series, a resident-driven process used by more than 140 small towns across the country. The program brings coaching, resources, and funding support to our community. It complements work already underway: downtown revitalization, the Downtown Master Plan, and Main Street improvements.
We kicked things off on August 25 at the Ronan Community Center, kept talking at Mission West on October 8, and dug into ideas at a workshop at the Ronan Middle School on October 29. Missed those? Jump right in. Each gathering stands on its own, and we’re back in the Middle School Library on Tuesday, November 10.
That was the question at the kickoff. Neighbors answered on sticky notes and covered the walls with the people and places that make Ronan work. A few of the answers: a Main Street full of businesses, more chances to take part in local government, and more support for local artists. We’ve been building on those answers ever since.
Your RSVP helps us plan enough food for everyone. It takes under a minute.
Every gathering starts with a free, locally catered dinner at 5:30. Bring the kids, bring your neighbor, bring your stories.

We’ll send a note when the next gathering is coming up and when there’s news worth sharing. No more than that.
