Fairview Grange members got together recently for the monthly meeting. We had 15 members present, which was a great turnout for below-zero temps and freshly cleared driveways of 12\u201d or more a day prior. Hot coffee and fresh brownies on the counter. Our first meeting since the holidays, and it was nice to get together again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We quickly took care of our Grange business, and we remain well-financed and full of optimism for our Grange and our Community. Thankfully, we have a steady income stream from our Grange rentals, allowing us to keep moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bulk of time spent was on 2026 activities, which include the Skowhegan State Fair display, Hunter Safety Class on August 12 and 22, Hunter\u2019s Breakfast on November 7th, April 11th Vintage Snowmobile Show, and a plan to celebrate our Nation\u2019s 250th birthday with events held at our Grange and on our Lakes in Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of this happens without the enthusiasm and commitment of our members. I thank the long-time members who have seen the highs and lows and have hung in there, as well as our new members who bring fresh perspectives and ideas, all in support of our Grange and Community. Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
