The Grange Gleanings


A gleaner is one who gathers information bit by bit and compiles it together in the hopes of creating a knowledge.

HALL NEWS:
The Building Committee is still working.
A new ceiling and new walls have been installed. It looks great.
Now we need help painting. Also the container out front is full of our
possessions that need to be cleaned before being returned inside.
Work is still going on in the kitchen. We have a new three basin sink that needs to be installed.
After that it is creating cupboards that are handier.
Not to mention the furnace needs to be replaced.
If you would like to help call Barbara M. Lawton at 843-6241.
