ASK THE MASTER:

Often we receive phone calls and letters asking questions that may be of interest to all Grange members. So from time to time the Advocate will contain this column to answer common questions we receive in the State Grange Office.

Why do I receive duplicate mailings from State Grange?

Possibly the reason you receive duplicate mailings is because you hold the same office in both your Subordinate and Pomona Grange. We have several members who serve in both positions and some of them request the duplicates because they keep one briefcase for the Subordinate Grange and a separate one for Pomona Grange. This way they can be sure to take the mail with them to both meetings. Since our mailings go at bulk rate, the postage cost is not great—14 to 17 cents each—so it is not expensive for us to send those few duplicates. If you do not hold the same office in Subordinate and Pomona, and you receive duplicate mailings, please let us know.

If your household receives two Advocates, please contact us so we can correct that situation. The cost of mailing the Advocate every month does add up, and we want to keep our unnecessary costs down there. 1-800-552-3865 or master@pagrange.org
