Communication Shorts are brief (short) but important items posted for your information and use. Please send us your ideas and thoughts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

September Bulletin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The September Bulletin is now available for download and printing. Recent issues of the Bulletin can be found on the\u00a0Program Books and Information Page<\/a>\u00a0in the communications section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Annual Report?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s the end of the Grange Year. Certain State Officers and Directors are expected to file an annual report of their activities and accomplishments. (We’ll be publishing them on the site as they are received.) Have you considered putting one together for your Grange? You can think of your communities as your stockholders. Let them know what you have done this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dates and Deadlines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fall is coming. Some might say it’s already here. With the start of another Grange Fiscal Year, essential dates and deadlines abound! ODDs Note:<\/strong> Annual Reports are due today and Program Books by October 1, 2025!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annual Purge Continues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We’re removing dated information from the website. This includes documents, posts, and photos. While some things are considered timeless, a general policy is to remove items that are more than two years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think About This!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“A dull truth will not be looked at. An exciting lie will. That is what good, sincere people must understand. They must make their truth exciting and new, or their good works will be born dead.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
