The August 22nd business meeting was short as promised with a short report on N E lecturer’s conference, then out for ice cream at Uncle Ed's. “School days” was the theme at the conference and each state was assigned a class to present a lesson. Vermont was the host and had geography. Massachusetts gave a lesson on real cash for arithmetic. We learned that each of our New England states have different laws from the driver’s education class presented by New Hampshire, but each recommend seat belts for safety. Connecticut had us getting active in their physical education portion. Home schooling was New York's interesting presentation. Dynamic Maine let us know that vocational education is an ongoing investment in our future. Rhode Island got us thinking with their technology demonstration. About 100 grangers were in attendance at Castleton University, Castleton VT.

September meetings are 12 and 26 with a reader’s theatre and installation of officers respectively. We also host Bay State Pomona on the 23rd. Looking forward to the Block party on the 16th. Our lecturer will have his solar oven once again and feature a bicycle blender. Drop by our booth for a surprise. Program lists will be available. As always, all are welcome at any meeting at 7 PM at the Grange Hall 243 Winthrop Street, Rehoboth. Support your local farmers.
