As the saying goes, “If you want something done, ask a busy person … the more things you do, the more you can do.” Or if you live in or near Monticello, ask one of the members of the Lions Club, Lionesses Club, or theCommunity Club. These small but mighty community clubs host and support many activities in the Monticello area. The Lions and Lionesses Clubs plan an activity each month: • January: Members host a Fisheree with the Green County Conservation League. • February: A vision screening and diabetes awareness for school health fair. Valentine baskets for the homebound. • March: Pancake Breakfast with the girls’ basketball team. Easter Egg Hunt. • April: Preparing for the Spring Fling • May: Spring Fling: Kickball Tournament, Car Show, Fire

A few of the newest projects supported by these busy volunteers include a financial donation to Badger Honor Flight and Green Care Food Pantry for Pony Packs, and rebuilding/replacing the concession stand and ball diamond fence at Montesian Park. In addition to the Lions, Lionesses and the Community Club, the Monticello Community Foundation’s Excellence in Education Fund has awarded more than $30,000 to the School District of Monticello for educational programming.
