FUNDRAISING
JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2026 GRANGE NEWS
Well, hello everyone. As we start another new year, that means we start another new year of Fund Raising for the Michigan State Grange. We are continuing to do the “G” Dollars again this year. It is a fun way to raise funds for the State Grange. Any amount helps, even $2.00 “G” Bills!!!
With the Penny coming to an end with minting any new ones, we are going to change this fund-raising project to be called “Coins from Heaven”! We will take any coins, rolled or loose. If you do not want all of your loose change in the bottom of your purse or in your cup holders in your vehicles, put them in a jar and bring them to State Session in October.
I know some people do not like the next form of Fund-raising but we have been graciously given a beautiful quilt called “The Flower Basket” (or it might be Pot, sorry Naomi I can’t remember now!). I have been asked to come up with a Theme for the next Raffle that will have this quilt as 1st prize. Once we have a Theme in place, I will let everyone know so if you wish to secure an item to raffle with the quilt we thank you in advance.
Thank you so much to everyone that helped with the fundraising efforts in 2025. I look forward to what we can all accomplish in 2026 when we work together. Every little extra we put in the bank account keeps us from needing funds transferred from the Invested Funds.
Until next time….
MARCH/APRIL 2026 GRANGE NEWS
Well, hello everyone. Just a few reminders of our upcoming or ongoing fund raising efforts for the Michigan State Grange. We are continuing to do the “G” Dollars again this year. It is a fun way to raise funds for the State Grange. Any amount helps, even $2.00 “G” Bills!!!
Grow the Grange is our Theme for this year’s Raffle. We have been given a beautiful hand made Quilt by Naomi Fletcher which will be the 1st place prize. Peggy Johnston and Dale Moore have donated a 32” flat screen TV and also a crock pot. We are open to other items as well. I think if we had a few more items, it would make selling tickets much easier. The drawing of the winners will be at the State Grange Session’s Annual Banquet. More to come on this project.

Do you have pocket change that you don’t want to keep?? We will take any and all of your change! Our “Coins from Heaven” campaign will be collected at our State Session in October. If you have just a few coins on you when you are there, we will take them off your hands as it all adds up for the MSG!
