| MARCH 6, 2014 -- Shelley St. Jean was elected and installed as our Assistant Steward; she took over for J. Allen Cameron, who is presently in Chazy, NY, attending the Miner Institute. We finally had our Jan. meeting on the 27th of January -- old man winter sure messed up things on Ekonk Hill!
Money was raised for the 2014 Sterling Family Day via a public spaghetti and meatball supper held at our hall. The “care” package that we sent to former JG, A1C, Andrew Thevenet, was so appreciated; we collected items for Ben Cousens. Ben, also a former JG, is now in the Marines. His mother, Robin, is an active Granger (as is his sister, Sarah)!
In March (7th) we take our “Complete Program” entry to our friends in RI (Richmond Grange) and they visit us as well, on Monday, April 7th, (with a program)! This is a fantastic friendship that has been ongoing for many years--Grangers are wonderful people!
March 15th is our annual Corned Beef and Cabbage supper (5 p.m.) Always a great, sell out event! Mark your calendars for Sunday, April 6th--we will be holding our Subordinate 125th anniversary as well as celebrating the 35th anniversary of our Junior Grange!
