• Sullivan County Renaissance Visits Monticello Rotary Club

    Helen Budrock and Diana Weiner from Sullivan Renaissance (SN) reviewed the history and the mission of the not-for-profit.    In their discussion, they specifically highlighted the beautification projects that SN has funded in the Village of Monticello, viz., planting 300 trees, many of them on Broadway; picking up litter; and assisting in moving the Rotary Clock from the Post Office location to the intersection of Broadway and Saint John Street.  In planning for  the coming growing season, SN proposed for our Club to make  a commitment to maintain one of seven possible spots in or near the area of Monticello, which had previously been maintained by SN.  After review and discussion of SN’s request, the Club voted to support SN’s initiative, and not surprisingly, selected to maintain the planting area surrounding the Rotary Clock.  Since a number of us, including this correspondent, have limited gardening experience, it is hoped that the Club members who are gardeners, especially any who are Master Gardeners, will lead us in managing this endeavor
