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.

There is a great deal of warmth, meaningful connections, community, and so much more.

The Grays River Grange is a community organization located in Grays River, Washington. The Grange was originally founded in the late 1800s to serve as a social and educational center for rural communities. It is open to the public, and all are welcome.

The Grays River Grange was established in 1914 and has been serving the community for over a century.

Throughout its history, the Grange has played an important role in supporting local agriculture, education, and community events. For example, the Grange has hosted educational classes, community dances, and political forums, among other events.

In addition to its community activities, the Grays River Grange has also been involved in advocacy efforts on behalf of farmers and rural communities. For example, the Grange has worked to support policies that promote sustainable agriculture and rural development.

Today, the Grays River Grange continues to be an active and vibrant organization and is a beloved part of the Grays River community.
