On November 13 Hoosick Grange had a delicious covered dish supper followed by Awards Night. The Master, David Cornell, welcomed everyone. The Secretary, Martha Babbitt, read the names of the people getting the awards, and the Master presented the awards.
Robert Bentley, Vera Griswold and Helen Filkins received 70-year certificates. Elsie Marpe and Carrie Schultz will receive 70-year certificates at a later time. Marjorie Herrington and Carleton Philpott received 65-year certificates. Marion Brenenstuhl received her 50-year certificate, and her son Todd Brenenstuhl received his 25-year Silver Star Certificate. Cathleen Hogan will receive her 40-year certificate later. The Secretary had some readings.
The Lecturer had a quiz and then told about the lies your mother told you – like drinking cola will dissolve your teeth – that’s a myth – and don’t touch a toad or you’ll get warts. The Lecturer had a story about chicken hawks and some jokes and stories and a closing thought – He is rich who is satisfied.
Our next meeting is December 11. We are honored to have the Mennonite Singers. The program starts at 7:30 pm (note time change). Refreshments – Grangers bring cookies and goodies, invite family, neighbors and friends.
