The big news around Wallingford is our lovely and watertight new roof! We’re quite excited to have the heat turned on for the first time in 3 years, so we will continue to meet at the Hall throughout the winter.
In December, we made and donated a decorated Christmas tree to the Coalition for a Better Wallingford’s Festival of Trees. Several members hand-made ornaments and accessories for the Gingerbread-themed tree. The Coalition raffles off the trees to support their substance abuse awareness and reduction programs. Likewise in December, we hosted a local Boy Scout troop’s wreath sale on our front lawn, and we held a bake sale in conjunction. The December meeting, we had a cookie swap.
Lecturer Kathy Bergonzi has planned a Scavenger Hunt for January, in addition to the regular meeting program. I don’t have details yet, but they’ll be announced on our Facebook page. Speaking of Facebook, we also have a group (Grange No 33 Wallingford) and we have several chat groups on WhatsAp for communication between members.
Our meetings are on second Thursdays at 6:30 pm, and everyone is welcome. There is invariably a country store and we always have nice items. The Meatball Sandwich Lunch is open to the public, $10 for the sandwich, a bag of chips, and beverage of choice. Conversation is included free of charge. We’d love to see you.
