Happy Spring! I hope all is going well.

The Fundraising Committee is making plans for our summer fundraising event. This year we are having A Little Of Everything Sale (just like the annual yard sale with a different name).

This will be held on Saturday, June 3, 2023 at Manchester Grange in Manchester from 9:00-1:00. We will be renting tables to anyone interested but the committee will not be selling yard sale items this year. Instead, we are planning to sell to-go “meal starters.” This will include your choice of a pint of one of two kinds of beans or lasagna (with a side of bread). Also, apple crisp or brownie for an extra $1.00.

We are looking for donations of needed ingredients, or a monetary donation to buy needed items. Items we need include- For beans: dried beans, onions, molasses, and dried mustard. For Lasagna: oven ready lasagna noodles, pasta sauce (any kind, any brand), cottage and ricotta cheese and eggs. For Apple Crisp: apples, quick oats, sugar, brown sugar and butter. Also, some family size Brownie Mixes.

If you’d like to help us with a donation or rent a table, please get in touch with me at meserve1965@gmail.com or 998-2586 and I will help make arrangements.

In addition, we will also be raffling off a $100 Visa Card.

Proceeds from this event will, in part, be used to help replace the furnace and repair the chimney at State Grange Headquarters. Thanks again for all you do, big or small, to help make these events a success.
