| JANUARY 7, 2025 -- HAPPY NEW YEAR!! It’s hard
to believe 2024 is gone and 2025 is here - a brand new year full of grange activities and service to our communities.
December 9 - We had the pleasure of welcoming a new grange member at our monthly meeting and will officially welcome them along with one other new member next month. Many of our members contributed items being collected by the Simsbury Public Library to help supply our local food pantry. Personal items along with diapers and non-perishable foods are being donated on behalf of the Simsbury Grange.
Tallying our monthly service hours are now a regular part of our monthly meetings. Members are involved in volunteer opportunities such as Dogstar Rescue, our local food pantry and various church committees among other activities in the Hartford area.
A few ongoing items on our agenda include work needed on the hall floor and how to handle a change in grange phone number for rentals. We continue to discuss future programming around music, dancing, food demos and knitting/crocheting projects that help our community. We will soon be planning our Seed Swap/ Lego Build event currently scheduled for Sunday, March 30. Also up for discussion is featuring a local farm at our June 2025 agricultural fair.
Next meeting - Thursday, January 9, 2025.
