Now that your officers have been installed (hopefully you all have had them installed), there will be those in new offices. In order to keep the Grange rituals flowing smoothly, make sure all are educated in the duties of their new office. It is very important that we help one another become familiar with our new positions. New membership wants to see a well-organized, smooth-flowing meeting and new members, upon becoming an officer, want to know the history and duties of their new office. Explain what the Grange is all about. Encourage them to take the remainder of their degrees in order to fully understand what the Grange is all about. It does not end with the 4th degree. If you have not gone beyond that then you haven’t totally learned all the lessons of the Grange and are missing part of the Grange experience. That seems to be a problem in our Grange today as more Pomonas are closing and less resolutions sent to State Grange.
Hope to see and speak to all of you at the State Grange session Oct 17-18!
