Monticola Club Members Plant Daffodils at the Top of Main Street

A SusanvilleStuff Photofeature

by Jeremy Couso

Members of Susanville’s Monticola Club put on their work gloves and spent Monday morning in the little triangle below the Elks Lodge, at the top of Main Street, planting daffodils so they will bloom in the spring!

Monticola was founded in 1912 and members have focused on a variety of community service projects including:

• Food Baskets
• Water for River Clean-up
• Fire Victim Support
• Senior Support
• Beautification Projects-trees, flowers, Penny Pines reforestation
• Library support
• College scholarships

You can also rent out the Monticola Club for your event or meeting. To view the Clubhouse or for more information, please contact the building manager, Patty Davie, at 530-257-9220.

“You not only get the perfect event venue, but rental money is an important source of revenue for the non-profit Monticola Club, 501(c)(3). The Club was started in 1912 as a service organization formed to provide local women ways to improve the quality of life in our community.”

The daffodil planting was done in coordination with Susanville Public Works and the Lassen County Chamber of Commerce’s Hometown Pride campaign.

The bags are not to weigh more than forty pounds and are to contain leaves only.

If you are handicapped or elderly please call 530-257-1041 to arrange for pickup of already bagged leaves.

This program is made possible for Susanville residents through donations by C&S Waste Systems and Lassen County Air Pollution.

The first 100 ticket purchasers get a free Taylor Swift collectible 8×10 photo.

There will also be a photobooth – so dress in your favorite era!

Fashion Show Draws Large Attendance at Liberty Theatre

October 20, 1926

Milton Sills in “Puppets” and the Fashion Show at the Liberty Theater Monday and Tuesday evening of this week proved a delightful attraction, drawing packed houses.

Milton Sills needs no introduction to Susanville movie fans; he is always a decided favorite.

A fashion show is always a delight to feminine vanity and the models shown the ladies Ready to Wear apparel were decidedly smart and attractive. Our local younger social set acted as mannikins.

The Ladies Ready to Wear garments were furnished by Fraleys’, Men’s apparel by Wemples and Boots shoes and hosiery by Elledge, Phillips Co.

During intermissions Miss Maita Bennett, of Westwood, a professional toe dancer entertained with two Ballet numbers.

Miss Julia Grafe of this city Orchestra gave some pleasing selections of jazz.

Among those who participated in making this affair such a decided success were the misses Fern Sharp, Clare Scott, Gene Davis, Katherine Breitwies, Adeline DeFarrari, Helen Haines, Ramona Wren, Mrs. Ray Ashton, Mrs. S. Hatch, Mrs. Karl Davis, Mrs. Edward Kuhn and D. L. McClure.
