April Bulletin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Items for the printed April Bulletin must be submitted by the end of the day, April 14. Recent issues of the Bulletin are available on the Program Books and Information Page<\/a> in the communications section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2026 State Session<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You may want to note that the State Session is scheduled for October 30-31 at the Black Bear Inn, Orono! Mark your calendar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Website Outages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully, the worst is over! Supposedly, the site has been moved to new servers, but we did have another 20-minute outage on Thursday. We’re continuing to monitor and will keep everyone posted. If improvements don’t happen soon, I will initiate the process of finding a new provider. It’s a big job that I’m hoping to avoid!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s Going On?<\/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! Surely, there are lots of Grange things happening in Maine. We also love photos and reports of events that have happened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cribbage seems to be catching on! Could your Grange sponsor a Cribbage Club? It could be a regular informal gathering, or maybe even include a tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
