We thank all our generous sponsors for making our historic 150th Anniversary Celebration BBQ and Fundraiser a great success on June 4th!

We give special thanks to all our dedicated volunteers, including the Sonoma County Search & Rescue volunteers. We also extend our deepest gratitude to our special guests from Petalumans of Yesteryear who brought 19th Century Sonoma County history alive with characters from the period.  We also greatly appreciated our special visitors from Chasin Goat Grazing who brought adorable baby goats along with helpful information regarding the many benefits of grazing cooperatives and how they help keep wildfire prone areas safer.

As our Grange celebrates its past throughout 2023, we also look forward with our many new community focused programs. Come out and learn more about what’s new at our Grange and how you can get involved!
