March/April Meeting 2020

3/22/2020

Thought for the month:
                                  On good work, from Wendel Berry
To work without pleasure or affection, to make a product that is not both useful and beautiful, is to dishonor God, nature, the thing that is made and whomever it is made for.

So whatever we do, let us strive to do it well. - Subordinate grange manual

Committee Reports:

Hall –  Currently 6 rentals on the books, all threatened by the pandemic.

Projects in priority order:
Emergency exit signs needed - Installation complete
Electrical system check/ bring junction boxes and connections up to code

Dance hall seating upholstery stained, needs replaced  -  Estimates in progress
Foyer tile floor re-grouting or replacement – Estimates in progress
Sewer line needs replaced - Summer 2020 project plus:

        Parking bumpers need anchored - Summer 2020 project
        Ped path to front door needs pea gravel - Summer 2020 project
Roofing screws still pending
Need new rugs in front entry (inside and out)
Front doors are coming apart at bottom, need bolted and glued
Kitchen and dining hall floor needs refinished
Dance hall floor will need re-oiled

Kitchen needs exhaust fan
 
Agriculture  - Another exotic bug - Asian giant hornet
                       Covid 19 disrupting markets and labor supplies

 
Education –  Grad days postponed, summer session?
 
Legislative – Short session summary, Oregon rainy day fund

Pomona Report - Candidate fair set for May 3rd at Beavercreek has been postponed till the fall general election.  Pies and servers will still be needed.

Community Service - Blood supply is critically low.  See your red cross chapter.  Anyone who has recovered from the corona virus may be extremely valuable as a donor as preliminary data indicate antibodies in their blood serum are effective against the virus.

Picture
April meeting (25th at 4:30) will be held in person at the Hall.  Please respect CDC recommended virus control measures until the vaccine is available to all later this spring.
​
We regret to inform you that Maplewood party and dance rentals are cancelled until further notice, probably until the State revokes the state of emergency called for Covid 19.   The hall is available for meetings where social distancing can be maintained.
 

We didn't take this decision lightly, but we don't feel we can reliably enforce the state required social distancing and disinfecting regulations during parties or large gatherings, and if the safety precautions are violated we would be partially responsible for any resulting sickness and death.  That is unacceptable to our membership and we will maintain our closure until we can reopen safely and mitigate any liability.
