Hoosick Grange had a great turnout the night the Jazz Band came on April 23. There were family members and grangers ready to enjoy the music. The Lecturer introduced the band leader, Mr. Bill Brown, and welcomed everyone. They played “Rocky” for their first piece, and then “At The Hop,” “Born to be Wild” and many more. Mr. Brown introduced all the band members, and then they played some more. I especially liked “Rock Around the Clock,” “Sentimental Journey” and “Sweet Georgia Brown.” The band ended with the Twist; that made you feel like dancing. The Grange members really enjoyed the music. The Lecturer thanked them all for coming and invited them all for some delicious refreshments. We try to feed them very good. We set up tables so they could sit down and we could talk with them.
At our last meeting we had a Food Drive for the Food Closet. Everyone gave monetary gifts so they could buy what they need.
On May 7 Rensselaer County Pomona Grange will meet at the Hoosick Grange Hall. We are having a covered dish supper at 7 pm. Our next regular meeting is on May 14 in Hoosick. Mr. Kendall Baker is in charge of the program. We will meet at 8 pm. Mrs. Marion Cipperly is in charge of refreshments.
