Our Mission is to
Acquire the Monterey Meeting House and preserve it as a historic landmark and a centerpiece of the Monterey Village.
Promote the community’s continued use of the Meeting House for cultural, educational, theatrical, and charitable activities and as a venue for community gatherings.
Adapt and use the building, with its large open spaces, for new activities that complement or expand programs offered by existing Monterey venues.
Who we are:
The Monterey Meeting House Steering Committee is a group of Monterey residents with diverse backgrounds but a shared commitment to seeing the Meeting House live on as a vibrant center of community activity.
Mark Andrews, Don Barkin, Maggie Barkin, Wayne Burkhart, Linnea Grealish, Robert Hoogs, Hutch Neilson, Linda Neilson, Kyle Pierce, Steven Pullen, Morton Salomon, Roger Tryon, Virgil Stucker.
What are we doing:
We are currently planning and scoping the work that lies ahead. An architectural condition assessment, now getting under way, will help us estimate the costs of acquiring, preserving, and adapting the building. The study is funded by a generous grant from the Monterey UCC Congregation.
We have started the process of incorporating as a 501(c)(3) public charity.
