AUGUSTA — The 138th annual session of the Maine State Grange will be held Wednesday through Saturday, Oct. 2,2 at the Skowhegan Community Center in Skowhegan.

Approximately 140 Granges from across the state will send delegates to debate resolutions and policies on subjects ranging from early and absentee voting to requiring drug tests for welfare recipients. They will work on several resolutions dealing with a wide variety of internal issues.

Resolutions passed at the session will become policy of the Grange and will be lobbied for at the Maine State Legislature. Those pertaining to national policies will be sent to the National Grange Session in November, where delegates from across the country will consider them.

During the session there will be many awards for yearly achievements presented to Granges and individuals in a wide variety of categories including membership, publicity, and community service.
