Laurie Laird

Volunteer Since: October 2010

Laurie Laird lives in Eastend and is a school librarian at Eastend School, which she loves as she works with kids, computers, and gets to read books at work. Laurie enjoys working in her yard and spending time with her children in Calgary. She loves her backyard as the river runs by and it is a peaceful place.

Laurie was invited to a EAC meeting and decided this was work she was interested in doing. She wanted to facilitate artistic events. She enjoys the art shows we’ve had and likes the other people on the Arts Council. It is important to host events for the community to experience different cultural events. Covid has curtailed our events, but EAC will definitely hold more in the future! 

Laurie thinks a lot of people have enjoyed the variety of artists we have brought into the community.  The Missoula Children's Theatre has provided many children with the opportunity to act in a play and continue on a yearly basis, some from kindergarten to grade 12.
