2023 – A Grange Retrospective

Happy Holidays!

Maine State Grange
Communications Department

It’s been said, “You live life looking forward; you understand life looking backward.”

So, the MSG Communications Department is happy to offer you this opportunity to “look back” and reflect on Grange Life in 2023 with some brief reminders of thoughts and events that have taken place throughout Maine. These things reflect the “Grange Way of Life.”

As we look forward to life in 2024, we continue to celebrate the Grange Way of Life in our hearts and minds–and on our calendars. Use the online directory to find a Community Grange near you and the Grange Events Page to find opportunities to celebrate.

Subscribers receive a summary of posts — not more than once per day! We do not share your contact information with others. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Promoting the Grange Is Fun!

Mill Stream Grange members Jill Sampson (l) and Lisa Goucher at the Grange table during the Mt. Vernon Craft Fair on Nov. 25.  Grange information was shared, a raffle for a wall-hanging was held, free kids books were passed out, and small handmade craft items were sold. It was a fun and successful day!

Craft fairs may be an untapped market for Granges–not just to sell crafts but to “sell” the Grange! People interested in crafting are great candidates for getting involved in a Grange! Mill Stream’s participation in the Mount Vernon Craft Fair gets a lot of things right! Remember, fundraising in any form is also an opportunity to promote the good work you are doing as a Grange. It’s possible to raise money and members. Congratulations, Mill Stream Grange!
