five years old, her grandfather has
been taking her to Grange meet
ings twice a month.

children, so she satin the meetings
with the adults. Other children
might have been bored, but not
Pam. She was enthralled with the
pledges and formalities of the
Grange meetings.
Soon she began participating in
the many activities provided by the
Grange for children, youth, and
families at local, county, and state
levels.
