We held our Fall Fundraiser, Bulbs, Pumpkins, Baked goods and Mums. It was a huge success! Thank you to the volunteers, who bought, set up, baked, packed, sold and helped bring the flowers and pumpkins to the cars. This event was a lot of fun and we hope to make it a repeat event!
Drive in Movie nights premiered at the Grange. A couple of the nights were sold out. The movies were such a hit, watch for more to come this spring. Thank you to ALL the volunteers who made these nights a success!
We held a meeting in September and October, but November was cancelled.
