| May 10, 2017 -- May 5: Ritual Review
May 19: Hobby Night
On March 31st, Oxford Grange began a new series of monthly potluck, music and dance nights, called GOMAD. Many local people, and a few from farther afield attended as well as many musicians. Billy Fischer of Bethany called for contra-dancing. Close to a hundred people attended, and all enjoyed the evening. New member Erik von Koniger is spearheading this event. In May, the chili cook-off was held and Selectman Jeff Haney was honored with the Community Citizen Award for his service to the town of Oxford. Not only does he work his regular job, but he serves as selectman, built the new town dog shelter, and will be building the handicapped ramp for the Grange. Our Green Gold and Other Treasures program wraps up May 11th, and has been well received. New members Richard Wilber and spouse Nancy Prior have worked closely with Treasurer Raye Hodgson to produce this series of film and discussion sessions. Watch Facebook for dates of Open Mics and events that may not appear in the Granger. Our March 10 program was lost to a snowstorm so we exchanged Officers on March 24. Ellie Banker proved herself to be an able Master. It’s always fun to see the gentlemen take over positions traditionally reserved for the fairer sex (isn’t it, Ted)? Sue’s crossword puzzle on ritual was a real challenge for some of us.
On May 12 Christopher Cleland from American Senior Benefits will present a program on Social Security and Medicare. Don’t miss this one! It could save you some money. Our Memorial Program will be presented on May 26. Our meetings are open to all. Please come and invite a friend. And if this nice, wet spring will just rid us of those nasty gypsy moth eggs, next time I’ll tell you all about awesome April. |
