Join the grange hall cleanup!

yep - this saturday, the 25th of may, from 9 a.m. to noon, we plan to clean up the grange kitchen and main hall areas.  members of all our grange-sponsored clubs are invited to assist, as well as the friends of camden grange, and the general public at large - we're inclusive!

please bring along some of the following cleaning implements:  canister ("shop vac") vacuums, push brooms, house brooms and dust pans, short step stools/ladders, rubber gloves, big black plastic trash bags, rags and buckets, and some enthusiasm - no heavy cleaning, no remodelling, or repairs - just cleaning.
we will stop cleaning at noon, and dine on a free lunch, in the newly-cleaned kitchen ("careful with that ketchup, bob, we just cleaned that tabletop!", LOL).

areas and tasks under consideration:

main hall - remove unused kitchen range (will need an appliance dolly for this)  to the basement, swamp out the "greeters" station just inside the front door, vacuum under the rows of theatre seats, move some stuff (VHS tapes?) down to the basement.

kitchen - clean off countertops (behind microwave, under all the countertop applicances, etc.), clean off top of refrigerator, vacuum up the fly collection in the window frames and out of the overhead light fixtures.

porches/steps - remove webs and expired bugs from the little library area, sweep off porches and steps.

stuff like that.

hope to see you there, jim mcginty

Garden club meeting notice

we will be assembling tuesday evening, the 14th of may, in camden grange and community center (located at 7 camden road, elk, wa) at 7 p.m. for our month of may meeting.  much-sought-after master gardener kamori cattadoris will join us for a class on starting, maintaining, and using a home herb garden.  great handout, lots of colorful and descriptive slides, and kamori loves to answer our questions - don't miss this meeting!
we will also have time to socialize, lie about our past and present gardening efforts, and eat the delicious treats we all bring to the meeting.
our freebie table will be set up as well, so if you have useful garden-related items, plant starts, seed packets, books, etc., please bring them along - BUT, please remember to take home the stuff you bring, if no one else wants it - knowwhatimean?!

see you there, jim.
