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

November Bulletin <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The November Bulletin is available for download. 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

New Words for Thirds Resource<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We’ve added a sample press kit<\/a> to the Words for Thirds Resources<\/a>. A press kit is often provided to reporters who are attending or writing about a particular event. This one is based on five dictionary days, but is easily adaptable. Help reporters and journalists who are helping you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Craft Shows<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It’s that time of year! In case you missed it, we’ve created a Grange Craft Show Logo or Icon. It will be beneficial when we receive announcements of craft shows that do not include a photo or flyer and help create a sense of “branding” of Grange Craft shows. Feel free to use it! And remember to get your craft show listed on the website, where it will be seen across the state and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Website Subscribers Sought<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

See the last page of the November Bulletin! Be sure to share with members!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t Shoot the Piano Player!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

He’s playing as fast as he can! We’re still catching up with results and information from the State Session. A printable ODD Directory<\/a> is now available! Get yours today! (A copy will be snail-mailed to secretaries with the Bulletin.) The online ODD Directory should also be correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Idea for Your Grange<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With all the recent media attention to Food Insecurity, it could make sense to add some food items to your Book Exchange Box. If it\u2019s outside, be aware of freezing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
