| APRI 15,L 2024 -- It might have been cold outside, but it was definitely warm inside at our January meeting.
Instead of a traditional Lecturer’s program, the assignment was “unleash your inner 4th grader”.
One table in the hall was covered with self-stick hearts, patriotic clip art, flags, sentiments of appreciation, glue sticks, heart doilies, scissors and blank cards. The program was to make “Valentines for Vets”, specifically the Veterans in residence at the VA Hospital in West Haven, where, we as a Grange, “partner” to collect snacks, books, magazines, toiletries, and all sorts of other necessities for the Vets there.
The task was not a small one, as there are just under 70 veterans in residence right now. And the members were amazing! The room was filled with creativity and the members cut, and trimmed, and glued the notes together. And it just so happened, that our CT State Grange President Bob Buck was on hand with Hank the Burro as well! All the cards came out wonderfully, and hoping they will warm the hearts of the recipients this Valentine’s Day!
