| APRIL 1, 2024 -- In March, we sent out an e-notice to all members regarding fraudulent websites. There are numerous websites out there that look like the official State of Connecticut websites for services like the Secretary of State. Please be certain the website you are using is actually the State of Connecticut and not a fraudulent site or a site developed to sell you services to complete or file forms for the State of Connecticut.
When filing your Annual Report with the Secretary of State, the fee is $50. That’s it... just $50. One of these sites is charging $250 for the privilege of filing through their website not knowing if it will actually be posted to the State of Connecticut.
We also remind you that your annual Executive Committee reports are overdue to the State Grange Office. Only a small handful of reports have been sent in. If you cannot find your form, please let me know.
In the coming weeks, a mailing will be sent out to Granges with the officers list to be completed after your elections in May/June. Please complete and return it to me regardless of whether or not you have a full election this year. We would like to have all forms in hand by September 1st to enable us to prepare the new Directories for distribution as soon after State Session as possible.
Also included will be an order sheet for Dues Receipts. Again, please send it back as soon as possible regardless of whether or not you need them or if you have received them in the past.
Receipts for the annual filing of 990s should have been received- please keep them in a safe place.
Until next time-- enjoy Spring!
