June 27: Annual Picnic at 6:30, followed by games.
What a warm, wonderful evening we experienced on April 25. We celebrated our Community Citizen, Paul Ames, and honored many long-time members. Our State Representative and our First Selectman presented Paul with plaques and certificates honoring his many years of volunteerism in our town. State Overseer Ted Powell was on hand to present seals, certificates and letters to Silver Star, Golden Sheaf and 75 Year and an 80 year member.
Forty-nine people filled the hall to enjoy a skit on Paul’s life and the rest of Sue’s great program. Our President, Robert Miner, read a congratulatory letter from the State President to Meredith Pappadia on her 80 years of continuous membership in our Grange. Charlie Smith received his 75 year letter, Dick and Camilla Tarryk, members from our newly merged Preston City Grange received their Golden Sheaf certificates and our Overseer/ Treasurer, Charlie Pianka received his Silver Star. At the conclusion of the program our long-time, newly retired Secretary (who received her 55 year seal earlier) was presented with her Past Secretary’s pin and a lovely plaque from Brother Powell. Cheree Miner, aided by members, outdid herself on the delicious refreshments enjoyed by all as we gathered for fellowship after the meeting. Seemed like old times! And if summer will just hurry along a bit, next time we will tell you all about merry May.
