I know you didn’t want to be reminded… maybe I should change the headline to, “It’s not just for Christmas anymore!” Back in 2021, I put together a video that was a bit of a retrospective look at Granges around the state during the previous year and a holiday wish. We (MSG) have a YouTube Channel where we host a few videos–most are resources for Grangers. This makes it possible to “embed” these videos on the website. Just recently, this comment on the video was posted:
Congrats from a Granger in Michigan on an excellent presentation. I’m a 54 year member who has real appreciation for our history. Your video does a great job relating our heritage and still presents today’s Grange in a positive light. To my Maine Grange Brothers and Sisters keep up the good work.

Tom’s comment demonstrates several things–including the fact that things on the Internet stick around forever. That’s good news and bad news. But it also demonstrates that good work gets recognized. Sometimes, it may take a while!
