July 2016

If you suffer from PTSD or are sensitvie to loud noises, and in the past have heard the 21-gun salute for military funerals from the cemetery here in New Glarus and want to be notified before the service, please contact the Swiss United Church of Christ at (608) 527-2119 or email Kristina@swisschurch.org. We are sorry for any past anxiety for these services may have caused.

Many people want to give back to the community, but may not have a lot of time to volunteer. The American Red Cross reminds eligible individuals that in only about an hour, volunteer blood donors can help save lives and feel instant gratification.
Blood is a perishable product that can only come from generous volunteers. By donating blood, individuals can make a difference in the lives of patients in their community and throughout the nation.

We want to thank everyone for joining us for our annual Spring Fling 2016, and a special thank you to the Monticello Community Club and Monticello Lions members and volunteers for all their work putting together the annual baseball games, hand-dipped cheese curds paired up with the beer garden and live music from The Jimmys, Precocious, and Cherry Pie.

The Monticello Sports Boosters, as well as the Monticello School Board, have come together in starting a community fitness center. The School Board has funded the project for the facility and the Sports Boosters are heading the fundraising efforts to get the equipment for the new fitness center. At Monticello we believe in living and teaching a healthy lifestyle to children of all ages. <strong>In an effort to reach all members of the community, we are opening the new fitness center to the community for public use once it is all finished.</strong>
