Letter to the Editor: Are we underutilizing our newcomers?
I purchased a home in Big Sky two years ago. With the exception of receiving some email solicitations from nonprofit listservs that I proactively signed up for, I have never been personally asked to donate to a local nonprofit, support a county initiative or do anything to support our community.
