Ideas for Granges
Maybe it’s time to shift some of our thinking from what our community needs to what it wants. They might be the same, but thinking about wants creates a different slant. How about every Granger asking at least one person, “What would make our community a happier place?” and reporting the answers at the next Grange Meeting?
Thought for You…
“While we are living in the present, we must celebrate life every day, knowing that we are becoming history with every work, every action, every deed.”
