MIDDLETOWN – At the next Middletown Luncheon Club program on Wednesday, July 15, come hear 4-H kids who work hard to raise livestock for auction, what it takes, and how they earn their scholarship money and merit badges.

These kids represent the area’s heritage of farms and ranches, so even if you are a “townie” prepare to be impressed and moved by their dedication.

It’s a great introduction to the Junior Livestock Auction and the County Fair coming up over the Labor Day weekend.

The Middletown Luncheon Club meets at the social hall of the Middletown Methodist Church, 15833 Armstrong at Washington.

Programs start at noon, and lunch is only $5 per person.

Lunch this month will be prepared by the 4-H group. All programs are open to the general public. Reservations are requested but not required. Call 707-928-9812 for more information.

If you don’t know about the Middletown Luncheon Club (MLC), here is the perfect opportunity to tap into the 108-year continuum of community and fun.

MLC meets every third Wednesday of the month from January through November. A nonprofit organization is selected to provide lunch, and there is a different program each time to keep things lively and informative.

For more info on the MLC, contact Helen Whitney at 707-928-9812.
