What a great way to end Grange Month–a celebration of membership and Grange Tradition that includes the ritual of the First Four Degrees!
This should be on the calendar of every Grange in the state as a potential activity! To keep things manageable, select someone in your Grange (usually the Master/President) to organize a “carpool” to MSG Headquarters on Sunday, April 27, 2025. Remember, the Degrees aren’t just for new members! When these days were more common, it was not unusual for a group to join whoever had the biggest vehicle for a trip to the hosting Grange and an opportunity to discover (or rediscover) what the Grange Way of Life is all about.
While a “reservation” isn’t required, it will facilitate planning if we can have some idea of how many are attending. But first we need to get the word out!
We have two posters/flyers available for you! Downloading is easy-peasy. Just click the link!
- 2025 Degree Day Print Flyer is the best one for printing as it can be done in B&W and doesn’t use much ink!
- 2025 Degree Day Digital Flyer is “prettier” and is best distributed as an attachment to an email.
Both are also available in the Communications Section of the Program Books and Information Page.
Since it’s already close to the end of February, there’s not much planning time left! Print and distribute flyers (especially to new members) and see what you can put together!
Additional information is available from Chief Deputy Maynard Chapman. Send him an email, or call and leave a message at 207 312-5591. It wouldn’t hurt, certainly, to ask him what you can do to help!
