March Bulletin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The March Bulletin is now available! Recent issues of the Bulletin are available on the Program Books and Information Page<\/a> in the communications section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grangers Helping Grangers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you help us by submitting your news and events, the energy grows! Grange members are contacting other members with questions and suggestions. That’s one of the objectives we have for the MSG website. “We’re Grangers. We help each other.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

Last call for Grange Month Events!<\/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

\u201cYou help people when they need help, not when you are ready to help them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

How about a clothing swap offering children\u2019s clothing, work attire, sports wear, seasonal wear, and gently worn shoes? Offer participants a sustainable way to repurpose their clothing within the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
