| April 17, 2018 -- Katie Molodich and Tom Sweet Jr. did an incredible presentation on their growing "Sweet’s Maple LLC" business. They had pictures on our Grange screen, videos of their business, from the taps to the finished, delicious product! Many questions were expertly answered AND we all loved the vanilla ice cream at the end, topped with their luscious maple syrup and chopped walnuts! We wish them the best as they grow their labor intensive agricultural business!
By the time you read this, we will have been to Richmond with our musical/ comedy program and they will have brought us their annual extravaganza of laughter and fun! Our March Corned Beef supper, Good Friday Chowder n’ clam cake supper and first Square Dance are over. April will find us square dancing on the 21st (7:30 p.m.) and supporting the annual Sterling Family Day roast pork supper at our Grange (April 28th-5:00 p.m.). Ekonk’s Past President, Mike Molodich, is Chairman of this all volunteer Sterling Committee and our current President, Link Cooper, is the Committee Vice President.
Sterling Family Day is always held on the 2nd Saturday in September and is not funded by the town-the committee raises all of the money to hold this event, which culminates with exceptional fireworks, lighting up the skies to the delight of several hundred folks as the wonderful day comes to a close!
Sunday, May 6th, we will hold our annual Membership Awards Luncheon and our Snowbird, Paulette Craig, will be back to join us in celebrating an even 500 years of amazing Grange membership (25 to an amazing 80 years)! Visit us anytime!
Our Juniors held a fun Indoor Fun Night/Baking contest; went on a hike through Molodich farm woods, sighting tracks of wild animals, enjoyed a “Artique” painting class and a program by the Dennison Pequot Nature Sepsis! They also were a great help with the Richmond program and their President, Lillian Sharpe, attends every Subordinate meeting, reporting for the Juniors and helping with a myriad of events! They meet every first Friday at 6:00 p.m.
