The community is invited to attend a "Meet The Breeds" program at Portland's Hemlock Grange on Friday, April 27th, at 7:30 PM. Expect lots of petting, tail wagging, information, always good socializing and refreshments.

The program will be presented by the members and friends of the Kenilworth Kennel Club of Connecticut, where they will be presenting their pure-bred dogs.  The Kenilworth Kennel Club has been promoting the sport of pure-bred dogs in New Haven and Middlesex Counties since 1962.

Hemlock Grange Hall is located at 17 Sage Hollow Road, Portland (corner of Routes 17 & 17A). For more information on the event, contact Kathy Swanson at (860) 559-8549 or e-mail Hemlock Grange Lecturer Nancy McBrien at braspberry@comcast.net.

Organized in 1912, Hemlock Grange has been serving their local community for over 100 years.
