December 5, 2016 -- The report from the building manager at the Big E states that more than $14,000 was made on the crafts and handmade items and jams and jellies brought in over $11,500. Without this income it would be impossible to fund the building repairs. Every item that you made and donated counts in that total. I want to personally thank each and every one of you for your continued help. With that said, it’s not too soon to ask you to start making things for 2017. The most needed items are scrubbies, towels, mittens, hats, slippers, baby sets, aprons, stuffed toys and of course afghans and lap robes. I know it seems a long way off but it’s never too early to begin.
We are profoundly saddened by the death of our former National and State CWA Director Betty Jane Gardiner. She looked at the Grange as her family and considered all of us as her brothers and sisters. I have no words to express how much she will be missed. |
