We will have our Simsbury Grange banner on the back of a float for the July 11th town parade thanks to Flamig Farm. We decided on positions for next Grange year, reviewed resolutions, discussed raising our dues, decided that at least 5 of us will attend Winchester’s July 28 meeting, discussed Big E Grange work days and CT state Grange session in October.
