Mt. Vernon Grange members keep busy with the on going activities of bingo and dances. After eight evenings of bingo we have entertained an average of 28 people on the first and third Thursdays of the month. The card sales are averaging 50 per evening. Everyone seems to enjoy the evening of bingo and socializing with popcorn, cookies and drinks available to munch on during the games.
The dances are sporadically attend with the last one, April 26, having a small attendance. Proceeds of this dance went to the John Day Food Bank.
Other activities beside our monthly meeting on the second Saturday evening of the month, include two church groups renting the hall weekly with one of the groups sponsoring a health seminar in March, a meeting of the Panama Ditch users, and funeral dinners.
On Sat. April 19th, a group of our members supported the Strawberry Mountain Grange by attending their Mexican diner fund raiser. Their Grange members put on a very good meal.
Senator Ted Ferrioli spoke at our May meeting explaining the propositions on the primary ballot. In June we held a general business meeting at the Hall proceeded by the ever delicious potluck dinner.
The July 11th meeting will be held at the Clyde Holliday Park with a potluck and barbecue hamburgers.Harriet Crum
