The committee met in Augusta in February to make plans and discuss details on upcoming activities and events. We will meet in May to choose this year’s scholarship recipients.
Speaking of scholarships, there’s still time to apply for our Ag Scholarship (due April 23). Keep encouraging high school seniors to send in their applications. This will give us lots of candidates to choose from.
The National Lecturer has some contests related to agriculture. They are the Sarden Design contest and the Weather Watcher contest. Both are open to all ages and have various categories. Check the Lecturer’s Dept. program for more details.
Want a way to get some potential members to visit your Grange and to embrace one of the joys of spring? Consider hosting a plant sale or swap. You could include veggie seedlings, bulbs, house plants, even seeds. Invite your local garden club or other local plant enthusiasts.
I’ve started my first seeds (in the house), couldn’t wait any longer to play in the dirt. Enjoy the early spring!
