| APRIL 25, 2016 -- Between the snow flurries, Lyme had their March meeting.  The response to the G Bill Project is going strong.  Our bucket is growing by leaps and bounds.  Lyme sponsors the Lyme Cub Scout Troop each year at the blue and gold banquet.  A representative from the Grange presents them with a check for $100.  They also use our hall in December to sell wreaths and Christmas trees.  It’s a shame our treasurer is having serious health problems.  It’s difficult to find a replacement for such an important office.  We wish you well, Liz.  Our new member was given the Obligation Ceremony by Dan Mutchler.  She asked if we could collect specific items, a care package, for a service person serving in a war zone, of course, it was voted to so.  Once again, Skip Beebe sang and played his guitar, a special treat.  The Agriculture Committee reported the sudden changes in temperatures is causing many problems with farmers, birds, etc.  One day 70s, next 30s- a different winter this year.  It was good to return to Grange, after 18 days in the hospital and 19 in rehabilitation, I feel as if I have been paroled.  Thanks to everyone who sent cards and many prayers my way.  It was most appreciated.  The day I left the rehab. Center I saw a flock of robins out my window.  With this weird weather I hope they survived.  Hopefully, by our next meeting spring will be here in full force.   May 5:  Third & Fourth Degrees, Inspection.  Haervest Supper at 6:30 P.M.
