Is It Time for a Re-run?

Are you old enough to remember when television programming involved sometimes dreaded and sometimes eagerly anticipated summer re-runs? What we call “media” was certainly different.

In completing some recent research, I happened to look at a program Amanda Brozana Rio and I did together on April 18, 2020. While it was centered on the book I wrote about the Grange Way of Life, we spent considerable time on the challenge of maintaining the Grange Way of Life during the pandemic.

Whether or not things have changed much since this interview is perhaps debatable, but that’s not the intent of reposting it. The Grange Way of Life doesn’t change much fundamentally, even if how we live and practice it does. Therefore, it seems worth reposting this for consideration. Don’t miss the part about caterpillars and butterflies.

A Retrospective…

Please spend a couple of minutes enjoying this reminder that Granges in Maine are making a difference!

That’s a Lotta Maine Grangers!

This “photo of a photo” is compliments of James Clements. He has the original photo which appears to be from the late 1800s and contains over 100 people. The actual photo is 41″ wide and 8″ tall!

Imagine trying to get every to smile at the same time!

James is interested in finding a good home for this photograph. If you have suggestions or are willing to assist, let us know and we’ll connect you with him!

Flying Our Flag

In response to a request during the state session, we have researched and are providing the information below. Note this information will also appear permanently at the very top of the Program Books and Information Page. Special thanks go to John Lowry of Porter Grange and Vicki Huff of Hollis Grange for their help!

How we display the flag communicates! The image to the left indicates recent state proclamations regarding flying the flag at half-staff. The image to the right indicates current federal proclamations.

This is a link to a guide to the Federal Law regarding displaying the Americal Flag: US Flag Code.
