It’s knitting, crocheting, and quilting season at Valley Grange in Guilford! Mary Annis, Joyce Flanders, Pat Engstrom, and Janice Boomsma had fun sorting recent donations at our March Meeting, including a large bag from Linda Kain.
These handcrafted products are distributed through many different local outlets. Hats and mittens go to our local schools, including Piscataquis Elementary, SeDoMoCha, Brownville Elementary, Ridgeview Elementary, and Harmony Elementary. Lap robes are available to local nursing homes, and we supply the Hospice Program’s Operation Gratitude for Veterans.
Help is always needed and welcomed! If you are interested, contact Mary Annis (564-0820) or Pat Engstrom (564-8290).

The recent website outages we’ve been experiencing appear to be over! We are now fully available on the new servers. We are sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience!
It might be my imagination, but it seems the site now loads faster! We’ll continue to monitor our uptime and keep you informed. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know!
We are aware that the MSG Website has recently experienced outages lasting from a few minutes to half an hour. Most seem to be happening overnight and early in the morning.
Our website host has announced a scheduled period of server updates between March 20 at 12:00 AM Eastern time and March 20 at 7:00 AM Eastern time. During this time, we may experience a brief loss of connectivity to our website hosting and associated services as our environment is being moved.
Hopefully, this move will resolve these temporary outages. We will continue to monitor the situation and take further action if necessary. Our apologies for any inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!

Enterprise #48 in Richmond will observe Grange Month as usual… Community Citizen Awards will be on Sunday, April 26, at 3:00 pm for Richmond and the surrounding towns.
Then, on Wednesday, the 29th, they will host Fifth Degree for Sagadahoc Pomona. Candidates from other Granges are welcome. Sagadahoc Pomona may be looking for help with the Degree work. We’ll start with a potluck supper at 6:00 pm, followed by the meeting and the degree at 7:00 pm.
Note that this has been changed to the Welcome Ceremony instead of the Fifth Degree. All other details remain the same.
For more information, contact Marilyn Stinson by email or at 207-380-3901.

Spring is near (I think) and the Ocean View Grange is coming alive. I would love to see our Farmers Market program reopen. People who have veggies, fruits, bread, meat, pies, cookies, flowers, and any kind of farm/home/garden products to sell should join the Farmers Market at the Grange. This is how it works…There is no cost to you. You come to the Grange parking area, set up your table and/or tent, and display your products. You decide the days(s) and the opening and closing times for yourself. The only thing the Grange provides is the space for you to set up.
If you are interested, please contact me via the Facebook message area or email larrybailey@roadrunner.com -207-372-8075
