Anawan Oakton Grange News

Happy summer. Glad for the haymaking weather, but we need some rain. At the May 22nd meeting the members voted to award two Anthony C. Thatcher scholarships this year. The recipients are Kaylee McKenna who is attending the University of Maine and Sydney Borrello who will be attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Our June 12 dine out meeting was successful and fun. We will have election of officers at the June 26th meeting July 10th will be at 37 Seymour Street, Berkley, MA. It will be a business meeting followed by a cookout. Southeastern Junior Grange is meeting at South Middleboro Grange Hall for the season ending Grange camp with contests and election of officers. The members will be doing crafts to enter at State Grange session in October.

It is time to be thinking about continuing to plant your garden with vegetables and flowers to exhibit at the regional Grange fairs in August. Do you have a Policeman, Fireman, EMT or Teacher who is extra special for what they do? Our Home and Community Service committee has applications for a recognition award. You do not have to be a member to nominate someone. For applications call 508-822-4946.

Enjoy the good weather and be careful in the sun.
