Grange Meeting, Tuesday April 11th at 6:30 PM, Potluck at 5:30 PM

Everyone is welcome at the upcoming Grange meeting on Tuesday, April 11th.

What can you expect at the Grange meeting? 

Well, first of all, it’s going to be a lot of fun! 

The Grange is known for its friendly, welcoming atmosphere, and we’re always happy to see new faces. 

We’ll start with a brief introduction to the Grange and what we’re all about, and then we’ll move on to the 1st degree ceremony.

Now, if you’re not familiar with the 1st degree, don’t worry! It’s simply a way for new members to be welcomed into the Grange and to learn more about our values and traditions. 

We’ll walk you through the ceremony step by step, and we promise it will be a memorable experience.

After the ceremony, we’ll have some time for socializing and getting to know each other. 

We’ll also have delicious food at our potluck, so you won’t go hungry. 

And if you have any questions about the Grange, community, or agriculture in general, our members are always happy to chat and share their knowledge.

So, if you’re looking for a fun and meaningful way to get involved in the community, we hope you’ll join us at the upcoming Grange meeting. 

It’s a great way to meet new people, learn more about our amazing part of the world, and make a positive impact in your local area. 

We can’t wait to see you there!

Grange Meeting Tuesday, March 14th, 6:30 PM

We’re all aware of the fact that these days, it’s more important than ever for us to prioritize gathering in community. After all that time of social distancing, remote work, and virtual gatherings, the need for human connection and support is more apparent than ever. In 2023, it feels great to make a conscious effort to come together and build a sense of community, and one way to do that is by joining us at a Grays River Grange meeting.

All are welcome, and because we know that community is essential for human survival and well-being, we can feel that being together with others is very good for us on so many levels. We are social creatures, and our mental, emotional, and physical health is heavily influenced by the connections we make.

Being part of a community provides us with a sense of belonging, purpose, and support that is difficult to find elsewhere. In fact, studies have shown that individuals who are part of a community experience lower rates of depression, anxiety, and stress, and report higher levels of life satisfaction.

We’d love to see you at the Grange, so feel free to stop by and say hi.
