Action II Seminar – a Great Success

The Action II Seminar held at Webster, NH, August 22-24, 2003, was a great success! Thirty-one team members from MA, NH, NY, and VT participated as well as three State Masters and their spouses, a State Overseer, and a Membership Director.

 Sally Crossiar, the facilitator, led everyone through a weekend jam-packed with ideas to help their Granges grow. As Sally predicted, she offered people tools to assess the current realities in their Granges; create a vision that will guide their Granges to a strong future; identify positive possibilities to better serve current members, potential members, and their communities; develop goals that could turn their vision into reality; build their team’s leadership capacity; and increase fun to be had in Grange. Sally warned that members would leave the seminar tired but energized with new ideas and plans, and she was very right! From the opening “get to know you” session (complete with an ice cream social) through Sunday’s sharing of thoughts and good bys, the weekend proved most rewarding. Everyone especially enjoyed the delicious meals hosted by the NH State Grange Operations Department with Dot Haskins as chief cook and planner. Now participants have headed out to put into practice the ideas they’ve picked up to assure that their Granges grow and thrive.
