This Foundation-sponsored event was started in 2009 as the Community Leaders Poetry Reading. It continued until 2019 and then, like so many public events, was postponed due to the COVID pandemic. Revived in 2023 with a new name, our community readers will help us celebrate National Poetry Month when they read one poem they wrote or like, sharing what inspired them to write it or select it for this occasion.

​

Since 2009, 155 Helena-area citizens have participated in this meaningful, touching, and delightful event.

Join us for our annual celebration of poetry during National Poetry Month. Part of the tradition is enjoying sweet treats and lemonade!
