The CT State Grange, and in particular the Public Relations Committee, offers a number of resources to Granges and their members.

Here’s just a few:

• Did You Know... that past issues of the Connecticut Granger are available in digital form online? Issues are made available for download as PDF files on the CT Granger section of the CT State Grange Website (http://www.ctstategrange.org/grangerdownloads.asp ) a month or so after the current issue has been mailed. This service has been offered since 2008, and now includes older archival issues as well, dating back to the very first issue of the CT Granger!
• Did You Know... that past Master’s Addresses are available on the CT State Grange website? Complete versions of past Master’s Address are available dating back to 1998 by following this link http://www.ctstategrange. org/MastersAddress.asp,         and then selecting the year from the dropdown box.
• Did You Know... that Resolutions and their results as acted upon at the CT State Grange Annual Session are available online, dating back to 2003?  Follow this link http://www.ctstategrange.org/Resolutions.asp , and then select the year from the dropdown menu.
• Did You Know... that the CT State Grange website has a list of all the Past State Masters/ Presidents, with photos, dating back to Harvey Goddard, the first Master of the CT State Grange in 1875? Visit http://www.ctstategrange.org/paststatemasters.asp# to view the list - and each photo is clickable to a larger image too!
• Did You Know... that there are over 300 forms, flyers, promotional materials, booklets, resources, and more available as digital downloads from the Downloads page on the CT State Grange Website? From the latest Executive Committee Form to Blue Books, Journals of Proceedings and Legislative Handbooks, to promotional posters and much, much more are all available for download.

• Did You Know... that the Public Relations Committee offers custom graphic design and printing services to all Connecticut Granges in black/white and color at low costs? Custom Brochures, Flyers, Posters, Banners and Signs and much more are available! Contact Terri or Bob for the details!
• Did You Know... that photography and videography services are available from the Public Relations Committee for awards nights, special meetings, programs, and events at your Grange?
