“I just got home from the town meeting. And I'm so happy to say things are moving right along. I personally want to thank Tina & Mareca for coming; they have wonderful ideas for fundraising. And, of course, Patty. Please send any donations that you can made out to the Town of Monongah. Memo Christmas lights. I want to thank the board; the men were so very helpful. This is what it takes teamwork for our wonderful town. God Bless.”

The town of Whitehall donated seven lights it had to the town of Monongah when Whitehall got new Christmas street lights. The cost of brackets to put the lights up in Monongah will be about $400.

Susan and husband Ron Sanders live in Monongah next door to Mayor Greg Vandetta and his wife, Janice Manzo Vandetta. Susan and Ron’s son, Tommy Sanders, is a WVU senior majoring in computer engineering.

Other Starons at Monongah High include Diane Minardi Staron, Class of 1967; Dorothy Staron Saunders, Class of 1971; and Thomas Staron, Class of 1965.
