One of our Grangers, Emily Chadwick, is organizing a “Thank You Card” program where anyone (adults or children) can come to the Grange to write a card or draw a picture to send to our St George Vets. Join in the fun on November 5, 2022, from 9 am to 11 am at the Ocean View Grange in Martinsville. Put it on your calendar.
This initiative by Grange member Emily caused me to re-light our previous efforts to support our Vets. Once again this year, The Ocean View Grange is spearheading a drive to provide needed items for our Veterans at Togus. Check the “Wish List.” We will set a date(s) for you to deliver the items to the Grange and/or another location. (You can bring them on November 5 and write a card or note!)
Our Grange has provided items several times over the years, but, given the Covid disruption, we have not done so recently.
If you are able to help, it will make a difference to those at Togus. We want our Vets to know they are not forgotten.
Be sure to check our Facebook Page for more info, and feel free to contact me if you have any ideas, suggestions, or questions.
