As Easter draws closer, stop by and pick up baskets to fill with
goodies, or a nice stuffed bunny or duck, or a nice book about the
Easter story. There may even be an Easter bonnet for a lucky
lady. Also, shorts and T-shirts are out with an average price
of $1.00. Sneakers and sandals are also appearing.
Some
items we are in need of include: party favors, napkins, plates, cups
and candles for the birthday kits. Please label any items you
donate for the birthday kits.
We also need sleeping bags
for kids going to camp as well as items for the treat bags we give
to Meals on Wheels and the Salvation Army Friendly Kitchen. It
can be anything small: candy bars, pretzels, chips, cookies,
juice box or even granola bars or fruit roll ups. Just
something a little out of the ordinary. We’re always happy to
pass along a can of soup or tuna fish too!

Chichester Grange
Chichester Grange met on Wednesday, April 6th,
upstairs in the Grange Hall. The evening began at 6 p.m. with a
tasty supper of lasagna (both meat and veggie) and Caesar salad with
hot fruit salad and cookies for dessert. Three members of Daniel
Webster Grange in Webster came for the supper and the meeting.
Proceeds from the supper will be donated to the various NH State
Grange Youth Funds.
Plans were made to host a NH State Grange
Membership Team on April 16th. Five posters will be displayed in the
community and newspaper and website publicity will be sought. A
potluck lunch will be provided for team members and perhaps visitors
from the community will bring food as well.
The next meeting will
be Family and Community Night on April 20th. Whoopie Pies will be
judged for the baking contest. Awards Night is coming up on May 4th.
Wildlife sightings included woodchucks, a fisher cat, a coyote,
chipmunks, robins, wild turkeys, and ants. Clearly spring weather is
approaching.
The Youth Night program included the Lasagna Song
and some fashion facts from the past. Did you know that when men’s
briefs with the open seam were introduced in England in 1938 it was
suggested that left-handed men should wear them inside out?
