Valley Grange Resolution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Valley Grange is planning to submit a Resolution Supporting Consistency Between Citizen Initiative Petitions and Ballot Questions<\/strong>. If other Granges would like to consider supporting it, a copy is available on the Valley Grange Website<\/a>. Remember, resolutions are due August 1, 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fair Season<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s fair season! For more information about Maine\u2019s Agricultural Fairs, visit the association\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monroe Grange Store<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

FYI: The Monroe Grange Store recently announced that it has been advised by National Grange that, effective August 26, 2026, the Uses License will not be renewed. This means Monroe Classic will no longer be able to operate a Grange Store or sell products containing the Grange name or logo.<\/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 things happening in Maine, especially in the summer. We also love photos and reports of events that have happened. What’s your meeting magic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Ponder…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can’t go into a bank with a mask on and expect to be treated as a valued customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We recently published contact information for a Speaker’s Bureau on the topic of elder abuse. Speakers’ bureaus and other civic organizations in your area are often sources of good programs. Many have a broad appeal and can help develop the public’s interest in your Grange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
