| April 5, 2018 -- By the time you are reading this, all Granges should have received packets from me including the publications mentioned in the last issue. The most important is the State Directory. We have been made aware of important corrections you should note in your copies. First, the Camerons have eliminated the land-line phone at their house. As Jody said, we all have cell phones, why pay for a home phone? To contact Jody Cameron, please use his cell: 860-759-2326.
Under Colchester Grange No. 78, there were to very unfortunate errors we need to correct. The Secretary and Lecturer’s names are correct, however their contact info is not.
Lecturer, Bonnie Trecarten, 83 Westerly Terrace, Colchester, CT 06415; 860-537-0491.
Secretary, Kathleen Culhane, 23 Shugrue Road, Colchester, CT 06415; 860-537-5437.
Please make note of these changes in your copies of the State Directory. A note of reminder will be included with the Quarterly Reports returned to Granges as the close of this quarter.
We are giving each of the new Pomona Granges time to get their committees, meeting places and times in order before making the requests for complete lists of information for the State Directory. You will note the new State Directory does not include information on Pomona Granges. We will print a supplemental page and distribute copies to each of the Granges as soon as we can. We did not want to hold up the Directory any longer than necessary.
If your Grange has not received its packet, PLEASE let me know. This packet contains your confirmation for the 990N tax filing for your Grange. We are able to make new copies, if needed, but we want to make sure all Granges have a copy in their files. You may be called on from time to time to provide a copy of this by various agencies and your town.
We remind Secretaries to review your records for any and all members due to receive membership recognition this year. If you do not have the appropriate State and National Grange forms to place your orders, please let me know.
Until next time—enjoy spring and hopefully enjoy warmer weather! This winter has certainly been hard for everyone from beginning to the bitter end.
