Middletown Luncheon Club's Oct. 21 meeting features scouting presentation

MIDDLETOWN – Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts are part of a venerable tradition still very much active in the Middletown area, and an update on their activity will be offered at the next Middletown Luncheon Club program on Wednesday, Oct. 21.

Speakers are Michelle Meese, community development director for Lake County Girl Scouts, and William McVay, Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 315.

Middletown Luncheon Club programs start at noon in the social hall of the Middletown Methodist Church, 15833 Armstrong at Washington, Middletown.

Lunch is only $5 per person with proceeds going to the serving group. All programs are open to the general public. This month’s serving group is the Stonehouse Historical Society.

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. 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 month to keep things lively and informative.

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