Sneak Peek Brochure

Check out this great resource for recruiting and developing your membership!

DIY Resource

There’s actually nothing “sneaky” about this tri-fold brochure designed by National Grange for local Grange use. What we have is a fairly complete explanation of what to expect at a Grange meeting. Topics covered include:

  • Tips for participating
  • A diagram of the traditional layout of the hall
  • The order of Business
  • A description of the opening and closing
  • Key terms and objects
  • How business is conducted

We also learn, “A special time is set aside during each meeting for an educational, entertaining or inspirational program to be presented, called the Lecturer’s Program. This allows Grange members to meet one of our charges – to help members grow to
their fullest potential – and provides a time for
the community to learn from and interact with
our Order.”

You can download a copy from the National Grange Section of the Program Books and Information Page then print as many as you need. (You might consider adding a small label with contact information for your local Grange. Contact the MSG Communications Department if you need help with that!) Additional options include having a local printer produce them or ordering from the National Grange Supply Store as part of an orientation pack.

This brochure is a great way to introduce people who have never attended a meeting to what to expect and to make them feel more welcomed. Consider having copies available on the tables if you have a potluck supper before the meeting. Keep a supply near the gatekeeper/greeter’s station to hand to visitors.
