| MARCH 31, 2016 -- Congratulations to Kitty McKee for receiving her 50-year Grange Certificate from brother Phil Prelli at our meeting on March 4. Kitty has always been ready to help when needed for duties at the grange. If you come to our grange and hear a bird singing, look for Kitty—she has quite a repertoire of bird calls.
We hosted the Pomona meeting on March 19. It was nice to go to the meeting, have a pot-luck supper and a program and get home before dark.
Our grange is again sponsoring Dictionaries for Third Graders. These books will be given by Riverton and Winchester Granges to all the third graders in Barkhamsted, Canaan, Colebrook, Falls Village and Winchester schools. We are grateful for the $100.00 donation to this project from the Torrington/Winsted Rotary Club. Maureen Prelli, Rainee Pedersen and Sue Addison will be presenting the dictionaries which includes the name of each student receiving one.
As one of the projects for CWA this year, non-perishable foods will be collected and distributed to the local food bank or soup kitchen. At each meeting, there will be a box so labeled. Please bring something for those who are in need.
I hope all my crafty people are working on projects, because they need to be completed by May.
