New Business: 

  • Grant writing – We met on Tuesday, Aug. 18th at 6pm.  The committee is focused on finishing the grant by September 11th.  The project will include removing the cement steps and replacing them with wooden steps and handrails.  Also, replacing flooring on both porches.  We want to replace the old one electrical box with a new one.  We have an estimate for painting the outside of the Grange Building and will have an estimate for replacing the electrical box by our next meeting.
