We’re Still Looking for Help!
In case you missed it, we’re looking for your comments regarding both property and liability insurance on your Grange Hall! I know people have been busy with the holidays, but we’d like to summarize and share the information by January 15, 2025. See the original request and help us out!
Words for Thirds
Our official release date is January 18, 2025 but you can check out the Words for Thirds Resource Pages here. We’ve got some surprises coming! Stay tuned!
Loving the Grange
It’s not a resolution, but one of my goals for this year is to post at least one reason to love the Grange each month in 2025. The easiest way for you to help make this happen is for you to fill out this simple form. You can answer more than once! Why do you love the Grange?
Reminder! 2024 is now 2025
It usually takes a bit to get in the habit of writing the correct year. Thanks to technology, getting the year right is somewhat automated, but we still need to pay attention!
Consider this Idea!
The MSG Event Calendar for 2025 is pretty bare at this point. Directors and Committee Chairs, please ensure your contest deadlines and events are listed! Granges, submit your programs and events! You are planning ahead, right?
Think about this!
“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”
Thomas A. Edison
