The vote was passed.

  • Monticello’s Teachers 2nd Annual 5K Tinsel Trot-- Proceeds to benefit the MTA Scholarship Fund and the Sullivan County Federation for the Homeless.  It is to be held in Rock Hill on Dec. 10. Last year our Club donated $250.00 and we voted to do so again.

  • Last week Helen reported that we need transportation to and from 5 different weekend activities for Leo, our Exchange student. It is the clubs responsibility to transport our exchange student.

There is also a form that needs to be completed and sent.
