Providing care for a friend or family member can be a rewarding experience, but it often provides challenges too. Over 65 million family caregivers in America provide a vast array of emotional, financial, nursing, homemaking and other services on a daily or on an intermittent basis and often find themselves struggling to meet the needs of both their loved one and themselves.

After a one year hiatus, the Friends of the New Glarus Library are back with our annual Labor Day weekend book sale. We have accumulated a huge selection of books over two years.
To accommodate safe guidelines, the sale will limit the number of people allowed into the New Glarus Village Hall Community room at any one time, but we will have the sale over two days, September 4th and 5th, to allow anyone who wants to browse and select books without feeling crowded. It goes without saying – but we’ll say it – anyone is free to come back as many times as they wish.

The Environmental Committee of the Monticello Lions are busy again, this time with painting the back steps of Monticello's Historical Museum. Shown here are Lion Linn Lederman and Lion Michael Davis busy with the paint brush. Another project to beautify the village. Thank you Lions for your involvement in projects to enhance the character of the village. All projects, big or small, are important working towards a common goal.

Garage Sale enthusiasts - it is time again to begin thinking about the Monticello Chamber of Commerce annual community-wide fall garage sales. The sales will be held on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, September 9th, 10th and 11th. The Annual Community-wide Garage Sale features sales throughout the community, clearly indicated on maps with categories of sales items. The spreadsheet will also indicate which days the sale will be held. The maps, with spreadsheets, will be available at multiple locations in Monticello.
