To ponder…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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

Write an annual report of your Grange’s activities and accomplishments. Submit it for consideration in your town’s annual report. And submit it for publication on the Maine State Grange Website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January Tasks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s actually a bit late, but is your roster information current? Once the new roster is out, we’ll be updating the online directory. Let’s keep it current!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waz up?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget to submit your special events and programs<\/a> for our event calendar! We want people to know the Grange is thriving!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

He’s playing as fast as he can. With the move and the end of the year, there’s a lot to be done on the site. Recent illnesses in the Boomsma household have been taking a toll! The docs keep reminding us that we’re not as young as we used to be and that it will take time. We’re gainin’! (If you see something that needs fixing, let us know!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subscribe! <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
