Sherry Harriman,
Maine State Grange President/Master

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Richard and I wish you all a very wonderful holiday season. 

Deputy School and instructions will be held in the spring, date and place to be determined.

We are very excited to announce this great news. Our office building at 146 State Street has been sold! We have moved to a new office and hope to be completely in our new space by December 13, 2025. Sharon, Henry, Richard, and I have worked many hours to get everything sorted, packed, and ready to go, especially Sharon & Henry. THANK YOU-THANK-YOU-THANK-YOU. Thanks Jimmy & Roberta who also came to give us a hand. We hired professional movers to get everything from one place to the other. They took two days to get the bulk of our items moved, placed and set up for us.  A few odds and ends are left to transfer.

Our new mailing address and location is: 36 Anthony Ave., Suite 102, Augusta, ME 04330

Our phone will remain the same: 207-623-3421 and the same toll free number 1-800-464-3421

Our email address will change.   (To be finalized upon installation on the 10th of Dec.)

    To get to the new office

    • From Rt 95, Exit 112B going north or Exit 112 going south. Stay to the right.
    • Follow Rt 27 North, toward Belgrade about ½ mile.
    • Take left at the light between Irving and Kentucky Fried Chicken. 
    • Take 1st left onto Anthony Ave  (go past Great Wall Buffet and past Fairfield Inn)
    • Number 36 is the third building on the right. It has a brick archway at the entrance with glass doors.  Suite 102 is straight back through the lobby to the left.

    Letters announcing the change were mailed to all Subordinate & Pomona Masters and Secretaries, Officers, Deputies, Department heads & Committees giving them the same information as listed above. The effective date of the change of address of December 1, 2025, has been provided to the Post Office.  All communications, quarterly reports, etc., are to be sent to the new address listed above. For those of you who drop things off directly at the office, there is a mail slot in the door of our Suite 102.    

    As a reminder, the password(s) and key will be mailed this month to the Secretary and the Master/President of each Grange after the Grange’s quarterly dues & report forms are submitted to the State Secretary. We must receive the report and monies before the passwords are sent to your Grange. Do we have your current and correct information for your Master/President and your Secretary at our office?  As an individual member, your 2026 dues must be paid before you may receive the password.
