Again, thank you for your support! Wade Wittenwyler, President The Monticello Community Club is a local organization that has been in existence since 1939. The desire of the community club is to make our community a nice place to live and bring up a family. The main purpose of our annual Homecoming celebration is to raise money for projects to better Monticello. Through the years, the club has contributed to the development and improvement of Lake Montesian, the village park and ball diamond, the octagon shelter house, the depot, the pool, Lake Montesian, village playground equipment, Montesian Gardens, Memory Lane and many other projects in our village, as well as to fund scholarships. The Monticello Community Club needs you – many of you, to carry on with the array of projects that the organization continues to support. All organizations from time to time need new and creative members. We invite you to participate! You may think MCC’s projects have had no impact on your life! It certainly has if you have ever walked the sidewalk in Montesian Park-$4979, enjoyed the swimming pool- slide-$4994, equipment & storage garage-$2500, had a picnic on the new tables-$939, enjoyed fishing at Lake Montesian-dredging $18,714 stocked fish $1758, goose busters & aerators $1498, used the playground equipment-$7500, had a reunion at one of the shelters-$12,360, sat under a tree for shade-$288, used the basketball court-$2800, used the volleyball court-$180, enjoyed a ball game and used the concession stand-$14,112, had the need for electricity in the park-$4200, walked the lighted pathway in the gardens in the evening-$1,000, or just sat to relax in the gazebo-$6011. The total for these Village projects is $83,833 spent in the last ten years from 1999 thru 2008! Or maybe you didn’t do any of these things, but you are involved in or have children in school, the MCC has provided $800 for post prom, $500 for drug programs, $300-band trips, $500-milk machine, $440 for DARE roller skating, $300 – soccer equipment, $228-defibrilator cabinet, $769-PTO forEaster egg hunt, $500-Go packs, $200 -tables, $500 PTO play ground equipment, $1054-Halloween party/hayrides, $3572-Christmas treats, $2525-school bleachers, $300-Daisy Scouts, and $600-Shop with a Cop.

Just in the past ten years, the Monticello Community Club has spent a grand total of $126,971. This has a significant impact on the area. Think of the tax dollars saved. Think of the enjoyment these projects have given to so many. Think where all these projects would be without these funds.
