National Grange President Christine Hamp has released her "Speak Like a 'CHAMP'" phrase for the month of July.

FUTURE-PROOFING

Future-Proofing is the intentional process of preparing an organization, community, or system for long-term success in a rapidly changing environment. It involves anticipating future trends, challenges, and opportunities - and building the capacity, infrastructure, and leadership needed to navigate them effectively.
Future-proofing prioritizes resilience, adaptability, and forward-thinking decision-making. For the Grange, it means developing programs, leaders, and operational systems that will remain relevant and impactful for the next generation, not just the current one.

Today, we continue our celebration of 🫐 National Blueberry Month! 🫐

Blueberry season is the perfect time to support the farmers who help feed our communities.

Buying directly from local farms or farmers' markets keeps more of your food dollars in your community while giving you the freshest fruit possible. Many farms also offer U-pick experiences, making for a fun summer outing for the whole family.

Every purchase is an investment in local agriculture and the families who work hard to grow our food.

🫐 Challenge: Visit a local blueberry farm, farmers market, or roadside stand this week. Share a photo of your blueberries—or tag your favorite local grower—to encourage others to shop local!

While you're at the farmers' market, pick up the ingredients to make this White Balsamic Blueberry, Corn, & Feta Salad, which was featured in our July 2025 issue of Good Day! magazine. (Recipe courtesy of Ann Bercher)

Has your Grange (State, Pomona, Community, or Junior) participated in an advocacy project or event, connecting with local, state, or federal legislators about an issue?

We are looking to include “success stories” in a new project. If you’re willing to share your stories and photos, please send them to National Grange Intern Savannah Mangold at [email protected] by July 17.
