Commissioners issue proclamation for National Grange Sesquicentennial Anniversary

WAYNESBURG – Greene County commissioners issued a proclamation for the National Grange Sesquicentennial Anniversary.
The proclamation recognizes the legacy and service of the Grange and Grange members across the nation for the past 150 years.
The Grange was founded on Dec. 4, 1967, and has played a major role in the development of rural America over the course of three centuries. It continues to be an active force in thousands of communities across the country.

“We are active in legislation,” said Mary Jane Kent, master of the Harvey-Aleppo Grange.
They are currently working with legislation to obtain Wi-Fi for rural areas, she informed.
