October Meeting, Date Change<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our October Meeting has been rescheduled to October 10, 2025, due to a conflict with the MSG Convention. Potluck at 6 pm, meeting at 7 pm. Grange Bees are Mary and Jim. Walter & Janice were elected delegates to the State Convention in Orono.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sandwich Makings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A highlight of our September Meeting was the jars of PB & J that appeared as people arrived! We’ve delivered these to Bangor Savings Bank for their annual drive. You can also donate directly to any Branch before 9\/30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Dictionary Days<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Members approved the purchase of dictionaries for this year’s program. We’ll be scheduling presentations and deliveries starting in mid-October. We need team members for these–it’s mostly a matter of carrying things and then helping the kids find words in their new dictionaries. Stay tuned for the schedule and consider lending a hand! Presentations are only about 45 minutes and will be held in Brownville, Dexter, Dover-Foxcroft, Guilford, and Harmony. We’re checking with Athens and the Amish School in Corinth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blistered Finger Knitters Knote!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We deliver hats and mittens in conjunction with Dictionary Presentations. If you have completed items, we’d appreciate receiving them by October 15, although we collect year-round. Contact any member to arrange delivery! Thanks! Keep those kneedles clicking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grange Gossip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Walter<\/strong> continues to help the Abbot Historical Society with gravestone cleaning. We have a couple of weeks left this year… Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the old village cemetery across from the Town Hall is where and when. It’s easy and fun! Supplies and instruction are included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary Annis<\/strong> is selling raffle tickets to benefit the DUV. She will humbly admit she made the first prize Afghan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pat and Steve<\/strong> will be doing some traveling soon… we wish them a safe trip to Texas and will miss them. When they return, Pat will be busy getting ready for Craft Fairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guilford Register Magazine<\/a> September Issue featured an article by Walter<\/strong>, “Sticker! Sticker!” It’s about some kids at an Amish Farmstand in Corinth. The October Issue will include a story about the Dover Foxcroft Kiwanis Auction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
