President Sandy Bollom and her horse Moon. Why did they move to Montana and how did she become a Rotarian.
I was born and raised in west central Wisconsin and moved to the Bitterroot Valley in 2016. Yup, packed it all up and headed west with my horse, 4 dogs, and husband. Incentive … my kids had been out here for a while and my heart told me grand babies would be coming soon.
To meet more people and get to know the area better, I joined Rotary for “me”. My job as a commercial lender (First Security Bank) encourages me to get involved with business organizations, but I wanted something more – where I could “give back”. Sunrise Rotary has given me just that
Our mission statement comes to life when we are allowed to provide “hands on” activities with Partnership for Children’s Youth Homes. I hadn’t been on a bicycle for 20+ years, but when we took the Youth Home Kids on the Hiawatha Trail, I was game. White water rafting at my age? Why not, the smiles and screams of delight from the Kids put all my fears behind me. It has just gotten better and better.

SERVICE ABOVE SELF is what Rotary is all about and my fellow members not only believe it but live it. The friendships I have made through Rotary will last a lifetime. They are people I know I can count on when life demands more than I can handle by myself.
By the way, I am now the proud Nana to five wonderful grandchildren and never regret the move.

I was raised in the Frenchtown valley and attended the University of Montana. I recently retired from 26 years of working with the stock market to join my husband, KC Hart, in real estate. KC is the broker/owner of Keller Williams Western Montana Real Estate. We have 2 sons ages 23 and 19 and many extra kids we have given a home to over the years.
I am a past rotarian and blessed to be the recipient of the Paul Harris award. In addition to my career I have volunteered in the Missoula community for 20 years. I am the current VP of the board at Youth Homes, past member of the Missoula Business Women's Network, Past President of the Board of Dubbers Care a non profit started by Keller Williams agents in Missoula to help individuals in western Montana with a housing emergency, past member of Toastmasters, past co-founder and ED of Chicks n Chaps helping breast cancer survivors, past board member of the St. Patrick House and much more.
I enjoy traveling, spending time with my family and all of my extra kids as well as spending time at the lake.


My name is Betsy Mulligan-Dague and I joined Rotary in 2017. I had been invited to come to a meeting several years before and thought about it but never got there. Until one day in March of 2017 when I came to a meeting and realized that I had found my tribe! It was not the typical way we tend to think about a tribe as a group that thinks like us, but rather precisely the opposite. Rotary is a place where all perspectives come together over the common ground of service.
