MONTICELLO – The Monticello Kiwanis Club continued their tradition of maintaining the Village of Monticello flowerbeds located on Jefferson Street and Route 42 near the Beer Store in the Village.  

This year past Kiwanis President Jane Sorensen volunteered to be in charge and she received much appreciated assistance from several members of the Sullivan County Aktion Club, who came out early in the morning to till the soil, remove roots and weeds and plant beautiful flowers.

The Aktion Club is sponsored by the Monticello and Woodridge Kiwanis Clubs and is comprised of individuals with disabilities who are affiliated with ARC Greater Hudson Valley, New Hope Community and The Center for Discovery. They continued helping out the community by visiting the Sullivan County SPCA the next day to present them with a variety of items that were on the SPCA Wish List.
