Looking for a Grange? You can view or download and print a Maine State Grange Directory that includes lists of granges sorted by town, grange name, and pomona. If you find a grange event or meal that sounds interesting, use the directory to get directions. (Many granges do not have street addresses–and note that addresses in the directory are NOT mailing addresses.)
[...] please! Since last month, several items have changed or been added… for one, we now have a Maine State Grange Directory available for downloading and printing. I’ll print one out and keep it in my truck and maybe [...]
too bad the directory did not list a P.O.C. telephone number, I hate missing the world famous Grange suppers. But I have no way to find out!
Dennis,
Thanks for your comment… we do try to list contact information for grange suppers that are listed on the site. Unfortunately, granges do not have phone numbers and attempting to maintain a list of contact numbers for every grange simply isn’t practical at this time.
If you would like to attract new members or visiters from other Granges it might help to put meeting times in the directory. I am an out of state Granger and I frequently visit Maine and would like to visit other Granges but the directory does not help me.
Thanks, Chris… you’re right. I’ve been researching and working on a way to create a listing of granges with a bit more detail… there are some very practical challenges involved.
One concern always is that things can change quickly and there’s no good way to insure the site has the current information. I hear too many instances where a meeting gets cancelled or the location changed–sometimes at the last minute.
I’ve always been hesitant to post information that I don’t have a lot of confidence in… what do others think? Would posting regular meeting times make sense with the disclaimer that information may not always be current?
