The Session is being held at the Black Bear Inn, 4 Godfrey Drive, Orono (Exit 193 off I-95). The hotel number is 207-866-7120.

This change was necessary due to a conflict with the UMO Homecoming Weekend.

We’ll be posting the traditional State Convention Information Page soon and adding information as it becomes available. Remember, each Subordinate and Pomona Grange should send two “official” delegates but any Grange Member may attend! Hope to see you there!
