APRIL
2005 -- WASHINGTON – April 2005 has been
declared as “Grange Month,” and the
theme this year is: “The Grange: Building
Communities.”
Grange Month is an opportunity to showcase the Grange - its purpose
and its programs and activities - in communities across the United
States. To celebrate Grange Month, the Connecticut State Grange,
along with the National Grange, is encouraging all Granges to organize
open house and award ceremony programs, as well as pledge volunteer
service hours to better the community.
Open house programs are an excellent way to begin building good
relationships with the community your Grange serves. It‚s
an opportunity to present a more complete picture of what really
goes on at the Grange than people see when they simply drive past
your building or attend events at your Grange fair. Simply, an
open house program provides you with the opportunity to showcase
your good works.
In addition to conducting an open house and award ceremony, this
year, the National Grange is also suggesting that Granges ask their
members to volunteer their time to a cause of their choice. In
this year's Grange Month mailings, Granges will find a volunteer
hours record sheet. After Grange members have participated in a
volunteer activity, we are asking them to record their hours and
what they did.
At the end of April, Grange Month organizers should total the hours
and return the form to the National Grange. The National Grange
will recognize your Grange for its commitment to community building
at your State convention and the National convention. |
