He selected the Valley Grange of Guilford as the recipient to “help with their Dictionary and Bookworm Programs.” As the state’s recipient, Kane becomes eligible for a Regional and National Grange Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award. Corliss pointed out that it’s possible to receive the National Award without having received the Regional Award. The honor was presented at the beginning of the 145th annual Maine State Grange Convention during the open banquet and awards ceremony Oct. 17 at the Skowhegan Community Center.
