Summary

This transcript is a community TV interview profiling the 4 History Buffs club at the Missoula Public Library; it does not record government deliberations, votes, or public-policy decisions and is not eligible for civic meeting article generation.

This recording is a community feature: Joel Baird, general manager of Missoula Community Access Television (MCAT), interviews retired educator Lee Silliman about the 4 History Buffs club that meets at the Missoula Public Library. Silliman describes the club’s origins (begun by university wives), its focus on Montana and Western U.S. history, typical meeting logistics (fourth Tuesday, 6 p.m., Cooper Room on the library’s fourth floor, no meeting in December), and recent attendance (about 60 for a Lewis and Clark program). He names organizers Paulette Parpart and Maria Greer, explains the club does not charge dues or pay speakers except rarely for travel, and invites potential presenters to contact the library or Paulette. Baird explains MCAT provides free recording assistance for local clubs and nonprofits (details at mcat.org under Our Services) and gives MCAT’s contact number, (406) 542-6228. The program closes with directions to the Missoula Public Library website for schedules. The content is informational and community-oriented; it contains no formal governmental actions, statutes, or votes.
