Hoosick Grange had a work meeting on June 23. Master David Cornell talked and had discussions on what’s going on in Albany and many other things.
The Lecturer had many different articles displayed on tables. The Grangers looked these over to get ideas for a fair booth. After much discussion they think they might have an idea they can use. The Lecturer had an original poem, titled “Spring Cleaning.”

Homebrew Beer Workshop At The Berlin Fire House
Beer is easy to make. It has been fermented for thousands of years and for most of that time in the home. It wasn’t legal until 1979, when President Carter made it legal to brew beer again in our homes. Since then over three million people have started, and enjoyed, this rapidly growing hobby. And so can you.
The Berlin Firehouse will sponsor a Homebrew Beer Workshop fund raiser to be held on Friday, July 16, at 7 pm. A $20 donation is suggested.
