Presidential Perspective by Christine E. Hamp
National Grange President
I happened to see, in my opinion, one of the greatest Grange Facebook posts of all time a couple of weeks ago by Riverdale Rural Community Grange #868 – a brand-new Grange chartered in Riverdale, California on April 20, 2024. The post read, “We don’t have a Grange hall, we don’t even have a bank account yet (next week), but we have members with great enthusiasm for serving our community. We are thankful to the Grange for allowing us the opportunity and venue to come together to serve.” When you look at their active Facebook page you see a vibrant Grange off and running and immediately making a difference in their community. If it is true that we all learn from each other, then I want to learn from this group of go-get ‘em Grangers! I also want to thank Riverdale Rural Community Grange for the fabulous reminder to be “thankful to the Grange for allowing us the opportunity and venue to come together to serve.” Grange Strong!
