National Grange Director of Leadership and Membership
Very little of our attitude is communicated by our words,
but mostly by body language, tone of voice, and expression. If you
want to communicate a great attitude that will attract new members
start by being thankful for what your Grange has.
When you are looking for things to be thankful for, it is much
harder to be negative. Your attitude will improve and all the subtle
parts of your communication to others will be more positive. As you
focus on the good and great things in your Grange, you will see more
and more that you can be proud of. Thank God, thank your fellow
members, thank concerned citizens, thank yourself.
It is also important for your fellow members to see that you’re
looking for what is working and right in your Grange, rather than
they see someone who is looking for mistakes and errors. Those
fellow members are the ones that create public perception of your
Grange. A Grange that is looking for the good in everything is a
growing Grange.
Be thankful for what you’ve got in your Grange and watch your Grange
grow!
