About this event

Be part of keeping the Grange and the Grange Hall going! We have a meeting every month–usually on the first Saturday of the month. We welcome anyone who wants to join us, and wants to help the Grange to function smoothly, improve our outreach, and broaden the community services we provide. Only Grange members may vote on our decisions, but we’re always open to input from others who care about the Grange and our Hall. If you have questions, comments or ideas, please join us! You can always contact Grange President Tim Swartz at: grangepresident@capitalcitygrange.org in between meetings. We’ll be happy to have you, any way you want to attend, in person or via Zoom, because we know that not everyone can make it in person! A Zoom link will be posted below, closer to the meeting date. We’ll be running the ceiling-mounted Iso-Aire purifier, and the ERV that brings fresh air into the Hall, to reduce the risk of transmitting diseases. On odd-numbered months, we usually hold a full, official Grange meeting, complete with officers wearing sashes, sitting in their assigned locations.

Our Opening serves as a formal introduction to the “work of the day”–the agenda of reports and discussions which all Community Granges are expected to go through. It always includes singing—of the National Anthem or an alternative, and of an opening song chosen by our Grange Musician.…
