May 2022

Residents of the 80th Assembly District,
My name is Dale Yurs and I am running for the opportunity to serve as your representative in the State Assembly. I am running because I believe that our highest good is to do right by our neighbors. I believe we are here to help each other, and I believe everyone deserves to have access to the resources they need to flourish. By working together, we can restore faith in government and make it once again work for the people.

New Glarus High School will be giving back to the community by volunteering to help community members on the morning of Friday, May 6. The Class of 2022 is looking to help senior citizens, businesses and other community members who are in need of some volunteer labor.

The Community Kitchen Co-op, in concert with the Monticello Chamber of Commerce, held a ribbon-cutting at on Tuesday, April 26, 2022. The event was held at the Co-op's main facility, 209 N. Main Street, Monticello. Tours of the kitchen and associated event space were given, and refreshments were served. The Community Kitchen-Co-op is a farmer-owned cooperative offering pre-made ready to heat and eat meals and groceries on a subscription basis.

Montesian Gardens held first meeting of 2022. Mike Davis addressed the group regarding the possibility of establishing a rain garden south of the Greenwoods bank area where standing water often collects. No decision was made, and we thank Mike for his presentation. The main concern is lack of volunteers for the existing garden plots and our aging volunteers have their hands full.
We have purchased a memorial plaque from funds from the Harold Babler family denoting donations of trees, benches, etc. It is placed in the gazebo.
