Due to the COVID-19 emergency, Monticello Women of Today is not meeting in person through the beginning of May, according to directives of the Centers for Disease Control and State of Minnesota. We are intending to hold online meetings in place of our general meetings on the 1st Thursday of the month. Other in-person events will not take place at this time either (such as Caribou Coffee Saturday socials).
