On October 4th, Mountain Laurel Pomona #15 held a very special meeting filled with tradition, gratitude, and celebration. This unique gathering was called to officially install new officers for both Mountain Laurel Pomona #15 and Riverton Grange #169—a wonderful example of cooperation and shared spirit among our Granges.
The Installation Team was ably led by Past Voting Delegate Noel Miller, with skilled support from Marcia Miller, Ted Beebe, and Ted Powell. Their combined experience and warm delivery made the ceremony both
meaningful and memorable. I was honored to be installed as President of both Mountain Laurel Pomona #15 and Riverton Grange #169, and I am grateful for the trust our members have placed in me.
During the meeting, we took a moment to express deep appreciation to our outgoing Pomona President Rob Buck. Rob has served our Pomona with dedication and heart, and I was pleased to present him with a thank- you note, a restaurant gift certificate, and a Past Pomona Master’s Pin as tokens of our gratitude for his leadership.
The afternoon also included a truly special milestone: we celebrated the 101st birthday of longtime Riverton Grange member Shirley Moore. Shirley was honored with a birthday cake, a rousing chorus of “Happy Birthday”, and a selection of thoughtful gifts. Her presence and legacy continue to inspire all of us, and it was a joy to recognize her during this meaningful event.
The event was a beautiful blend of tradition and celebration, reflecting the deep bonds that tie our Grange families together.
