📜Constitution Week Proclaimed in the Town of Mendon 📜
At our recent Town Board meeting, Marty Guenther, Second Vice Regent of the Annandale Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), shared information about Constitution Week, which is observed annually September 17–23.
Constitution Week was first introduced by the DAR in 1955, adopted by Congress, and signed into law by President Eisenhower in 1956. This celebration highlights the importance of the United States Constitution—America’s most important document, safeguarding our liberties, freedoms, and inalienable rights.
Following her presentation, the Town Board unanimously adopted a resolution, officially proclaiming September 17–23, as Constitution Week in the Town of Mendon.
We encourage all citizens to take time this week to study the Constitution, reflect on its enduring legacy, and honor the rights and responsibilities that come with being an American.

School Tax Information
It’s that time of year again…… School Taxes will be here next week! The Town of Mendon Clerk’s Office will be accepting payments (for Mendon residents only) during normal business hours.
Things to remember:
- ONLINE BANK PAYMENTS: Most banks discourage the use of on-line banking for tax payments because they cannot guarantee your payment will be delivered to our office by the due date. If you utilize on-line banking, you do so at your own risk.
- PAYMENT BY MAIL: The U.S. postmark on the payment envelope will be used to determine the date of payment and the amount of interest or late payment charges due for that payment. School tax payments delivered by the U.S. Postal Service after the due date that do not contain an official U.S. Postal Postmark but rather a “postage meter” mark are not considered timely. Payments with insufficient interest or late payment charges will be returned to you.
- FULL PAYMENT: Please follow these instructions.
- SEPT 1 – OCT 1: Pay Total amount of bill to Michelle Booth, Rec of Taxes 16 West Main St. Honeoye Falls, NY 14472.

Remembering Jonathan Stills: A Voice and Heart of our Community
The Mendon, Honeoye Falls, and Lima communities are mourning the sudden and tragic loss of Jonathan Stills, a well-known resident of Lima and dedicated Village of Lima Trustee.
Jonathan was more than a public servant—he was a cherished neighbor, friend, and had a voice that brought people together. His love for music was well known, and his talent touched countless lives. One of our most memorable moments came when the Town of Mendon invited him to sing the National Anthem at the unveiling of the Military Memorial, honoring the Guardsmen killed in the tragic helicopter crash. Jonathan proudly accepted, sharing afterward how deeply honored he was to be asked. That performance, filled with both pride and reverence, will forever remain in the hearts of those who were there to witness it.
His passing leaves behind an unfillable hole in the hearts of those who knew him. Jonathan’s kindness, warmth, and commitment to his community made him beloved well beyond the boundaries of Lima. His absence will be felt across the surrounding towns and villages, where his voice and his spirit were a constant reminder of unity and pride.
As family, friends, and neighbors grieve, Jonathan’s memory will live on—in the anthem he sang with pride, in the service he gave so selflessly, and in the countless lives he touched.
