Blackwater Grange #152 met on November 15, after the November 8 meeting was cancelled because of Storm Sandy. We received thank-yous for dictionaries from third-graders at Jennie Blake School in Hill and one class of Kearsarge Regional Elementary School in New London.

Grange State Chaplain Hugh Clark has passed away.

The members enjoyed the poem Wrapped in Winter and Grange happenings from Laconia Shopper News in 1977.

Merry Christmas to all!
