Seeking Someone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you, your child, or your grandchild have some knowledge of WordPress? (For those unfamiliar, WordPress is an open-source content management system (CMS) that allows users to create, manage, and customize websites without needing advanced coding knowledge. The Maine State Grange Website uses it.) If so, let’s connect and explore some opportunities. I could use a few hours of volunteer help occasionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journals of Proceedings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 2024 Journal of Proceedings<\/a> has been received and posted, a summary of State Session held in 2024. Note these are large files with many pages and photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rapid Resource<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We’re always seeking resources of potential interest to Grangers and Friends that are not necessarily specific to the Grange. These will be short and easy to digest. As an example, the first concerns finding and tracking scholarships<\/a>. You can help! Let me know what you think and, by all means, submit ideas and suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s Going On?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

St Patrick’s Day and Grange Month programs and events needed now!<\/strong><\/p>\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! Surely, there are lots of Grange things happening in Maine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Ponder…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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

It’s a marriage made in heaven! There’s a consensus that food is an important component of events. How do you make that work for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
