Winchester Grange received the sad news in May that Golden Sheaf member Sara Bement has passed away. Sara was a dedicated Granger who served as a longtime Family Activities Committee member, Flora, Lady Assistant and many other roles over the years. She was always willing to do what was needed and we will miss her immensely. She will now be able to see her beloved Frances “Torchy” Bement again.
On May 17 Winchester Grange hosted a CPR/AED training workshop conducted by Fairfield Area EMT Dave Mitkowski. Over a dozen members attended and received hands-on training which demystified the assumed complexity of using the defibrillator and administering CPR.
Winchester Grange has installed an AED in the hallway just outside the main hall and hope we never have the need to use it but it is important to have on hand as paramedics have to respond from downtown Winsted to Winchester Center in an emergency. We thank the Northwest Community Foundation for making this life saving tool possible for our Grange.
