Submitting Information

Submission Guidelines for news and resources:

Our goal is to keep the site content-rich and positive–and alive with new information. When sending news about events at your Grange facts are important, but please try to tell us stories. The secretary may record what song was sung as part of the minutes, a submission to the website should include some information about how you sang it–joyfully, off-tune, rattling the rooftops… If photos are available, please email one or two for consideration. (If you are familiar with digital editing, please keep your photo file sizes small.) Send photos and any documents as attachments to an email.

To allow for rapid processing include the name and number of your Grange and the town where located. When submitting events, please include ALL the details. (Suggestions are given below the form.)

Resources could be links to other sites (including your Grange’s) or “how to” tips and recommendations. Lecturers could submit program ideas that have worked particularly well… Just remember that items should have general appeal to a wide audience of Grange members and non-members. Also note that we do not, by policy, publish fraternal concerns. The complete editorial policy can be found on the Program Books and Information Page.

Submission Guidelines for Events

In order to publish your event, we need (at a minimum):

1. Date it’s being held
2. Start and end times
3. What type of event (public supper, craft fair, etc.)
4. Where it’s being held (include town, please)
5. Who to contact for additional information (phone number, email address, or both)
6. Any cost information

Please plan ahead and submit your information early! Also – this is very important – remember to let us know if the details change or the event is canceled. Because of the anticipated volume, we are asking that Subordinate Granges NOT submit regular meetings but limit submission to special events. Pomona meetings may be submitted, but please include all details.

Submission Guidelines for Comments

Visitors are allowed to submit comments to pages and posts–click the “comment” link at the left of the post or page. Comments will not be posted until reviewed and we reserve the right to edit and delete. Please keep things positive and appropriate! Limit comments to the subject of the post–do not post comments that are “off-topic.” If you have new information or events to share please submit them by email–do not use the comments feature.

There are some technical safeguards against “spam” (posts promoting products, people, and unrelated sites). The primary purpose of the site is to provide information about the Grange in Maine and serve as a resource to members. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the webmaster.
