At our March meeting the CWA/ Family Activity Committee held the judging for the Snowball Cookie Contest. I won, but not by much, which means I get to make them again for the State judging. The judges were brushing a lot of confectioners’ sugar off their clothes. As part of the CWA/Family Activity Program, we assembled 12 “Happy Birthday Cake Kits” at our last meeting. We are first offering them on our Facebook page, then if any are leftover, we will bring the kits to food pantries. Thank you to all our members who donated all the “ingredients”.
We are again participating in Produce to the People this year, which provides fresh produce to those in need. Grange Members were given free vegetable seeds at our meeting for them to plant extra veggies in their gardens. Then they will give out the extra vegetables to area food banks/ pantries.
We are collecting books suitable for pre-school through 8th grade children to add to the Mountain Laurel Pomona #15 community service project. We will deliver the Pomona’s books along with what we collected to Heather Mathews who has a bookmobile/ mobile library. She gives the books to the children to read and keep.
Recently our Grange Hall has been put to good use while also achieving our goal of bringing new people into our hall. Debra Tyler’s Earth Scroll has been put up as part of classes to promote peace and understanding of the earth. So far it has also been used for Buddhist chanting/meditation.
We are having a Craft Night on Thursday April 25th starting at 7:30 in our Grange Hall. During the Block Printing Session, we will make cards and journal covers. This is open to all Grange members and invited friends. Using blocks carved to make her Earth Scroll and other projects, Debra Tyler will show us how to use pallet and brayer to spread ink on a block, then print it on card stock Many colors and patterns to choose from. Please let her know if you plan on coming.debra@motherhouse.us or 860-671-7945.
