IN THE
MAY ISSUE
Welcome to the May 2025 Monterey News.
In it you find articles about the annual town meeting tomorrow, 9:30 a.m. (pages 2, 4, and 13), Susan Gilbert's super cool art opening (reception tonight, 5:30 p.m.), the rescued and growing turtles, new social security updates, and a double feature of The Adventures of Spirogie.
Look for news from the Monterey Native Plants Group (May Bloomer, Native Plant Sale), and upcoming Arbor Day activities at the community center (May 4). Note Gould Farm's 5K date is June 1 this year! Info on p. 14.
A beautiful poem (p.15) by Phoebe Tryon honors her dad. Maggie Barkin has a special invitation for you. The library Friends remind you to ready your book donations for July's book sale.
And so much more. Thank you all for submitting, writing, taking photos around our village, and imagining ways to strengthen our community. Thanks for reading!
