Final 5 Monongah Christmas street lights ordered

Susan Staron Sanders, Class of 1971, president of what I call the Charge of the Lights Brigade, said that 5 more Christmas street lights have been ordered for Monongah.

That brings the total to 26. And there will be no more Christmas street lights purchased after that. 

But additional fundraisers will pay for replacement bulbs, electricity for the lights and maintenance.

Susan’s report:

“Hi, Everyone “Letting you know I placed the order for the final 5 Christmas Lights today to get our 25% discount. “A special thank you to Sandford & Linda Carr for buying a light. “Sue Ahouse & Kitty Ahouse Morrison & Dave & Paula Sloan. “We the committee purchased the last two lights with money from our fundraisers and your wonderful donations. Please keep them coming. We could not do it without you all. “Our next event will probably be a Road Toll. Please remember even though there will be no more lights we will still be working hard to keep up the lights replacement bulbs, pay the electric bill, etc. “We will not be setting up at the Monongahfest. We would like to enjoy it this year. “Thank you all for your support. “Sincerely “Susan & Committee” Susan’s campaign began in 2015, after White Hall donated 7 Christmas street lights that it was replacing to Monongah.
