FoSD 2023 Summer Concert Series Recap
The 2023 Summer Concert Series is a wrap! With new artists and creative food and drink vending options from the Friends of the Monona Senior Center Board and local food carts, we had record attendance (and perfect weather!) across all four evenings of our signature musical offerings. View photos from the concerts to relive the experience, or visit the 2023 Summer Concert Series Page for additional details.
Remembering Our President
On March 12, 2023, The Friends of the Monona Senior Center and The City of Monona lost a wonderful person. Kathy Thomas had just finished her 2nd three year term with the Friends Group, and was our president for more than a year.
Kathy did a fantastic job of running our meetings, keeping them “crisp” as she liked to say, short and sweet. During our March board meeting, we remembered Kathy during our announcement of her passing. Some comments from folks were that she was a great hugger, mentor, made great brownies, and we will always treasure our time together with Kathy.
Kathy Thomas will always be remembered as a great president, and person. Thank you for all you did for us, Kathy!
