| March 20, 2020 -- The Juniors did a “Stamping Up” fun/fundraiser in February, each leaving with four lovely, handmade cards! They also enjoyed a potluck supper. So much enthusiasm from these kids, saw it at the annual Family Game Night, see it whenever they are around! Brianna Gervais (and Rebecca) had a fantastic time in New Hampshire in February when Brianna represented National Grange at the Primaries there. She learned a lot out the New Hampshire legislature, toured their statehouse, got a fabulous tour of a hill complex, listened to the candidates debate: how many kids get that kind of exposure to national political leaders at age 11? Her next major National event is March 6-12 in Washington,
D.C. Our Grange donated $500 to assist the family with expenses not covered by the National Grange on this trip.
We have interest among our youth and juniors in organizing a 2020 Drill Team. Our youth and juniors are certainly marching forward in so many ways.
