Labor Day Weekend Benefit Events:
Saturday September 2, 2006 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. Sunday September 3, 2006 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. Please fill out our online survey! It will only take a few minutes of your time and will be so valuable to us. Thank you. We now have our Architect! We held a proposal submission process this winter resulting in applications from five architects. The Building Subcommittee inteviewed three finalists, and the committee has chosen Clark & Green of Great Barrington to be our architecture firm. Senior Architect Steve McAlister will be their lead for our project, and we have already begun work on the design for the project. We signed the lease on the Wilson McLaughlin House with the Town on December 12, 2005. Many thanks to Town Counsel Jerome Scully and to our attorney Dennis Downing for their assistance in making this legal milestone possible. |
