Grange Notes by Tim Swartz, November 1, 2016
And come for Community Potluck Dinner!
We’ll also be taking care of some Grange business, of course, this time focusing on a transition in the Treasurer’s office, as we thank and honor Les Skinner, who has been a mainstay of the CCG as Master and Treasurer for at least 2 decades! At age 89, Les is finally willing to give up the sash which goes with the Treasurer’s office, while Merry is ready to work with an accountant to set up electronic banking and recordkeeping, as well as online payment systems. If you want to help out with this transition, come and talk to us!
And as always, we’ll start and end the meeting with a song, hope you will come and sing along with us.
We are promoting the usual post-meeting potluck dinner, which is always a good time to socialize, starting at 6:00 PM. We are re-branding it as the Community Potluck Dinner, and inviting people from all around Central Vermont to join us. Help us put on an especially good spread by bringing your favorite dish to share. After dinner, of course, you can also stay for the next CDU dance at 8:00!
Luke Donforth, with his rebus–can you read it? (here’s a hint–you can dance to it)–called interesting dances, including a Grand March to display the costumes, and Tempest (in costumes as well) brought a diversity of tunes, musical styles and tempos that kept the revelers dancing until the end of the evening.
If you weren’t able to come, mark your calendars for Halloween 2020–October 31st that year will be the next 5th Saturday in an October, and hence the next Costume Contra in the CDU series!
