I start with a sad message. M Phyllis Bush a 55 year member of our grange passed away on June 12th. She had been an asset to the Grange having played our piano for meetings for over 30 years. She will be sorely missed.

On a lighter note, we were able to share a meal with 18 of the members at a restaurant in Taunton on the 10th. It is nice to be able to share time with others.

Congratulations to our Lecturer, Aaron on the birth of his third son, Hans. We hosted Bay State Pomona Grange on June 25th and were visited by Christine Day, Lady Assistant Steward of the Massachusetts State Grange. She helped us to enjoy the day. Our only meeting in July will be on the 12th at 37 Seymour Street, Berkley, MA for a short business meeting followed by a cookout. Summer is here. We expect some of our members to be exhibiting produce and crafts at both the Rochester Grange Fair on August 20, 2016 and South Middleboro Grange fair August 27th. Call 508-947-1904 for further information. That’s it for now. Have a wonderful summer and keep the weeds out of your gardens.
