On Nov. 15, 17 Girl Scouts from Granby, East Granby and Hartland participated in an event to honor veterans who have served our country. The scouts had the opportunity to hear inspiring stories from two women in the military, Senior Airman Ashley Seger of the Connecticut Air National Guard and Claire Cashwell, Commander American Legion Post #59.
On Dec. 3, the Granby 4-H Club gathered for its monthly meeting and transformed the Senior Center’s gathering room into a mini-holiday workshop with tables of stickers, beads, markers, pipe cleaners and glitter.
On Dec. 11 and 12, volunteers from the Granby Lions Club and Granby Memorial High School Leo Club helped host the Lions Club Special Education Children’s Holiday Party. The event welcomed 410 students and staff from eight towns, including those from Wells Road and Kelly Lane schools in Granby.
The Granby Lions Club sold Christmas trees again this year, a tradition for more than 50 years. The Lions thank the community for its support that makes it a success year after year.
The Granby Men’s and Women’s Breakfast Groups combined for their December breakfast meetings.
On Jan. 7 the Women’s Breakfast Group started 2026 with a presentation by the Granby Police Department on Senior Fraud that is unfortunately very prevalent and scary.
Last month, Ash Erwin introduced the Men’s Breakfast Group to the makerspace at the Cossitt Branch of Granby Public Library. Her enthusiasm gave us ideas for making things with the 3-D laser printer and all sorts of impressive tools.
After 56 years the Marquis of Granby Junior Ancient Fyfe and Drum Corps, a cherished part of parades and celebrations for generations, may end. Falling recruitment and loss of adult volunteers have played a large part in board members considering dissolving the group.
