Happy fall, everyone, from Simsbury Grange!

October 9th was our monthly meeting with a soon-to-be new member and guest, Dawn Anstett. It was wonderful seeing them both and we always appreciate Dawn’s knowledge of all things Grange. Discussions centered around new members, collections of toiletries for donating, a community service idea for a local dog rescue, Grange items to include in a display at a local bank for the month of December, state session details, and upcoming events in November and December.
