Junior Director's 2025 Report

Worthy State Master, Distinguished Guest, State Officers, Delegates and Patrons all.
Our State Junior Grange is still going but needs to get a little boost or we will not make our 100th anniversary next year. We have five Juniors graduating this year. Will you help us pick up speed and work to increase our Juniors? The Grange bowling held by our State Lecturer, Matt Clark, was enjoyed by eight Juniors. I worked with Norman Brandt, Agriculture Director and Gloria Davis, Membership Co-Chair to set up the Farm, Forest and Garden Expo Grange display taking place at Deerfield Fair in May. February Fun Day we worked on the Big E egg carton contest. Three entries were sent from New Hampshire but as yet I have not received them back. We will keep looking for them and get them back to New Hampshire. June Fun Day we had our first time having no Juniors come, but thanks to Jane Heath for supplying cards for the Lecturer’s contest and having a great lunch we all had a good time. We have four Juniors graduating this year: Rebecca Boisvert of Chichester, Jacob Scanzani of Hudson, Lily Ricker of Blazing Star and Georgiana Farrell of Centennial Grange. I know there are some joining their subordinate Granges and hope you welcome them into your Grange family. I am working on finding graduated Juniors like my three children who will participate in being Grange members to recognize in next year’s 100th. Laura is Pomona Master in Rhode Island and Lady Assistant Steward of State Grange. Norman Brandt is Master of East Rockingham Pomona and State Grange Steward in New Hampshire. Lawrence is still a member and his children joined Junior Grange and three have graduated from our Junior program. In closing, I want to thank our Worthy State Master, Tricia Taylor for all her support with the Junior activities this year along with Gloria Davis, Anne Boisvert and Chris Heath. Let us all work together to grow Juniors, Youth and our own Granges.
