Item 2.01.     Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On August 6, 2009, Girls' Life Plantation Mansion, LLC ("Seller"), a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Monarch Services, Inc. (the "Registrant"), sold the
property known as 12450 Dulaney Valley Road, Baltimore, County, Maryland
21131 (the "Property") owned by the seller to Xiao Fei Li and Xiaobing Wang
(the "Buyers") pursuant to an Contract of Sale Agreement dated June 25,
2009 by and among the Seller, Buyer and Registrant.

The selling price of the property was $560,000 less settlement costs of
$30,820.

The Registrant intends to distribute the proceeds received from the Seller
in respect of the asset sale to stockholders after the sale of its remain-
ing asset, the land, and after satisfying all outstanding indebtedness and
complying with all corporate and regulatory requirements.

The Company continues to pursue the sale of its remaining asset, the land,
to Baltimore County, Maryland. The Company expects this sale to go to
settlement in November 2009. At that time the Company will begin the
process of distributing its cash assets to stockholders after satisfying
all outstanding indebtedness and complying with all corporate and regulatory
requirements.

This report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements as defined by
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking
statements do not represent historical facts, but rather statements about
management's beliefs, plans and objectives about the future, as well as
its assumptions and judgments concerning such beliefs, plans and objectives.
These statements are evidenced by terms such as "anticipate", "estimate",
"should", "expect", "believe", "intend", and similar expressions.  Although
these statements reflect management's good faith beliefs and projections,
they are not guarantees of future performance and they may not prove true.
These projections involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking
statements.  These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to, changes in general economic, market, or business conditions; changes
in laws or regulations or policies of federal and state regulators and
agencies; and other circumstances beyond the control of the Corporation.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this report
are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance
that the actual results anticipated will be realized, or if substantially
realized, will have the expected consequences on the Company's business
or operations.
