| May 9, 2017 -- At the end of April, a mailing was sent out from the Central Office. Killing several birds with “one stone” there were a number of items included.
The first is the Inspection Form for 2017. As the State Master explains in his column, this form replaces the annual visit of the Deputy for this year. The questions are basically the same questions that were included on the back of the previous inspection forms. Please fill yours out and return it to the State Master no later than July
1. Failing to do so will result in a visit from the Deputy or a State Officer. (Hint: the form is much easier!)
The second item is the Officer and Committee Listing for the State Directory. THIS IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT THIS YEAR as we don’t anticipate Pomona Handbooks to be printed this fall in light of the changes to Pomonas. An accurate listing of all officers and committees in the State Directory will be extremely important. Even if you don’t elect this year, please PLEASE PLEASE return your completed form to the Central Office as soon as possible (immediately after your elections, if held).
It seems like I talk a lot about shipping charges for National Grange. In recent days we received notice of yet another change in the charges for Golden Sheaves and letters for 75 years and beyond. Please disregard the shipping charges listed on the back of the yellow form we have provided to all Granges. Shipping charges are now calculated based on the total amount of purchase:
Orders up to $10 . . . $4.00
Orders $10.01 - $19.99 . . . $5.00
Orders $20.00 - $49.00 . . . $7.00
Orders $50.00 - $74.99 . . . $9.00
Orders $75.00 - $99.00 . . . $10.00
Orders $100.00 - $124.99 . . . $12.00
Orders $125.00 - $249.00 . . . $15.00
Orders $250.00 and above . . . $20.00
We apologize for any confusion all of these changes may have caused. It’s very important that the correct amount of postage is added to your check (made out to the National Grange) as the order will not be processed if the amount is incorrect. The process has not changed, however, as all orders should be sent to the Connecticut State Grange for verification.
As always, if you have any questions, please contact me! |
