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 three 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 with dinner, stories, and a first look at what this process can do for a town like ours. Missed it? Jump right in. Each gathering stands on its own, and the Community Discussion on October 8 is where we dig into what matters most to the people who live here.
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. The Community Discussion on October 8 picks up from there.
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.
