Why Join the Grange?

There are nearly as many reasons to join a Grange as there are Grange members.

Maybe you want to be part of a small community of caring people who meet, work, celebrate and have fun together. And often eat delicious food together. 

Maybe you want to support and better your community, local schools, or other community organizations such as Philomath Community Services. 

Maybe you want to learn or improve a skill such as quilting, wood carving, playing music, working on a building, gardening, animal husbandry or more. 

Maybe you want to be part of a non-partisan advocacy organization more concerned with policy than politics. 

Maybe you want to become comfortable and develop experience with public speaking, working in groups and leadership. 

Maybe you want to support and continue a historic 100 year organization. 

Maybe you want to make friends across the State of Oregon, in neighboring States, and across the nation. 

Maybe you want to make friends for life.
