“Spreading the Word” - Connecticut State Grange Website Participation Contest -- This contest is based on numbers of submissions to the CT State Grange website.
1 to 5 Submissions -

6 or more Submissions -
Glastonbury, Norwich, Taghhannuck
Because both Bob and myself handle the website submissions for our respective Granges, we felt it was not fair to include them in the same running with the other Granges in this category. So we developed a special President’s Award for both Meriden Grange No. 29 and Winchester Grange No. 74.
“Spot On” - 30-Second Grange Video Commercial Contest - In this contest we had only one submission. The winner is Winchester Grange No. 74. Their winning video is available for viewing at http://www.YouTube.com/WinchesterGrange
The contests for 2012 will have a few changes and additions. All the details will be released soon. |
