Newsletters

As a Grange leader, communication with your members is crucial. Grange efforts are more likely to succeed when you can create a team that communicates with the membership and the community. Even members who are not participating can feel a tie to the Grange by getting a newsletter.

Newsletters can be an effective part of your communication network in your Grange. Newsletters can inform the members about what is going on, future plans, and recognition of members. They can also be tools to educate members on local issues, or even ways to become a better leader. Newsletters can even promote fun through contests or jokes.

Newsletters should be done with a computer so that they are easy to read. Most word processor programs have a template for at least one newsletter. Use your spelling or grammar checker. The most important thing to remember isn’t the fancy types or “cool tools,” but the fact that your newsletter should be easy to read and communicate the information effectively to your members.

Improve communication to your members and strengthen their ties to your Grange.
