Monticello High School Blood Drive

<i><strong>Give Something That Means Something</strong></i>
There’s no substitute for blood. When a patient that is in need receives blood, it was given in advance by a generous donor just like you. Every day, blood donors help patients of all ages: accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those battling cancer. In fact, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Whether a patient receives whole blood, red cells, platelets or plasma, this lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation.

Montesian Garden Committee News

The Montesian Garden members held their last meeting for the 2021 garden season.
We received a beautiful bench for the pergola in memory of Connie Derendinger from her friends. She lost her life in a tragic auto accident earlier this year. Patti Rufener planted a flower garden in memory of her aunt, Nancy Studer. We had many visitors, several weddings, and nice comments in the guest book.
Many visit the Veteran’s monument while strolling the gardens. The Village keeps the grass neatly cut and John Beckwith trims around the plots.
