"On Thursday, March 1 at 7 p.m., please join us in the library meeting room for a presentation by former KPAX reporter Ian Marquand. For 35 years, Montana has enjoyed a "sister state" relationship with the prefecture of Kumamoto, Japan. Few Montanans know Kumamoto as well as award-winning journalist and Japan Friendship Club President Ian Marquand.

He'll also celebrate the unique friendship Kumamoto offers to Montanans."
