During the past year, we have held meetings with representatives of town groups and governmental boards and with the general public. And through the summer we have been meeting regularly with our architect, Steve McAlister of Clark & Green, Great Barrington, to refine the "vision" of the center; we have now made the major design decisions we will need to make in order for him to move beyond the "schematics" to the real design drawings.
Please fill out our online survey,
which is NOW READY for your input.
It will only take a few minutes of
your time and will be so valuable to us.
Thank you.

The TAG SALE at the Firehouse Pavilion was extraordinary! Townspeople donated quality items during the summer, volunteer schleppers moved and re-moved things, pricers priced, workers worked and above all buyers came and bought. When all was said and done, we raised over $7,000, including $1,200 for the purchase of a restored secretary which had been owned and used by Edith Wilson; one particularly pleasing facet of that story is that the piece was purchased by a Monterey family, so it will stay in town.

Author GEORGE PACKER spoke at the Monterey United Church of Christ for our benefit, and the church was about full; we raised nearly $1,900.
The Fundraising campaign is off and running! Thank you everyone.
