VERMONT GRANGERS WORKING IN OUR COMMUNITIES
Contact: Lois Allen 69 Lily Lane #229 West Lebanon, NH 03784
Tel: 603-653-3046 Email: DevilsSister1308@gmail.com
Information Chairmen are encouraged to promote the activities of their Granges and publicize the good works of members and the Grange. This not only means telling what we have done, but advertising events yet to happen. In cooperation with other Grange departments, produce posters and press releases for all events to increase public awareness of and attendance at Grange functions.
Take advantage of newspapers willing to publish articles about Grange events. Always include a contact name and phone number and make sure to address these five questions: WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE and WHY. When possible, take advantage of Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, State Grange Website, etc.) to inform others about our organization, its philosophy and activities, and to encourage their involvement.
