I have been told mail to the Central Office has come up missing.  My July report must have been one of them.

I will re-cap part of our July news.

We had a lovely memorial service for our six departed Sisters with roses.

It was voted to send our Lecturer to Lecturer’s Conference in Maine.

Our duly elected new Master, Kathy Tefft, stepped down for the good of the Order and Ted Powell is now our Master for the next two years.

State Master Noel Miller, and Deputy Jeff Barnes, were in attendance.  A very sad evening.

Our August picnic was a huge success with a great variety of food and desserts.

Our meeting was attended by 17 loyal Grange members.  The Lecturer gave her report.  By the time you read this our Hamburg Fair will be history.  I just hope the man upstairs sends us some nice “Fair” weather.  Not hot and stormy but just right.

Hope everyone enjoyed summer and stayed away from ticks and our famous Lyme Disease.

Sept. 3:  Best wishes to all our new officers.  Installation

Oct. 1:  Arm chair traveling.  Where have you been this past summer?

Nov. 5:  Ag Program.  Have you put your garden to bed properly?  Guest speaker- Terry Bischloff.
