MONTE VISTA — The Monte Vista Kiwanis Club needs the community’s help for two upcoming projects. 

The first event is assisting with cleaning of an area of the Monte Vista Cemetery (north of Hwy. 160) on Saturday, May 20, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Please bring a rake and other tools useful for cleaning pinecones, weeds, etc. Help to make the cemetery beautiful for Memorial Day. 

The second project is a garage sale on Saturday, June 17, from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 236 Adams Street in Monte Vista. Please donate large and small items to sell except for electronics. Please call Mary Baumfalk at Tri-County Senior Citizens, 719-852-5778, to meet with her to deliver items to the garage. Help collect as many items as possible to make the garage sale a huge success.

The MV Kiwanis Club’s Signature Projects for this year are to purchase Chrome books for the Delta Center; to purchase a Memorial Bench for the Faith Hinkley Veterans Memorial Park; and to purchase educational items for the Sargent Early Center which serves children ages 1-5 with early childhood programs.

Please help Kiwanis to support worthwhile community and world service projects, which also include dictionaries for third graders; sending Operation Christmas Child boxes for children in other countries; and putting up American flags on the holidays.

The club appreciates the support of the citizens of Monte Vista and surrounding communities in its efforts in “Serving the Children of the World[1].[2][3]”
