Thank you to the Lyman Hall High School Agricultural Program for coming out in March for our lecturer’s program presenting about who they are, what they do, and upcoming community activities they’ll be doing in the future. Our next Grange meeting is Thursday, April 11, at 6:30pm, at the Grange Hall. All are welcome to attend. We will also have our usual Country Store Raffle consisting of a variety of nice items.

The next fair committee meeting will be Monday, April 8, at 6:30pm at the Grange Hall. If you are interested in learning more about the fair, have new ideas for it, or are interested in just helping out, please come and join us at this meeting. Some items that will be discussed at this meeting include fair book ads, exhibit category ideas, and fair events. For more information about the fair committee, please contact Kathy Bergonzi at kaubberg@gmail.com or at 203-752-6108.

Results are in from our two fundraisers supporting the Grange in February. At the Pancake Breakfast, we raised $661! At the Center Street Brewery Fundraiser, we were able to raise $670!

Thanks go out to everyone who came out in support and to all who volunteered at these fundraisers!

Paint & Tea Party Fundraiser: Join us at the Grange Hall for a new fundraiser involving a Paint & Tea Party occurring on Sunday, April 7, at 4 – 6 pm! Music will be playing at the event by the Acoustic Duo BobbyLoo.

Meatball Sandwich Luncheon Fundraiser: Coming up on Saturday, April 13, 2024, at 12pm-2pm, a meatball sandwich fundraiser will be held as we celebrate the coming of spring! Just like at our first meatball luncheon in January, we will be selling meatball sandwich meals consisting of a hot meatball sandwich, chips, and beverage for $10. We are planning to have enough for 50 portions. Bring a friend or make a friend here! We will be starting prep for this at 9am that day.
