2021

Burns Grange members have been busy.  Bake sales, having several types of donations such as shoes and bags of items to different organizations, Jamborees, Retired Railroaders Luncheons, and our biggest activity of Words for Thirds that give every Third Grade student in Shiawassee County their own dictionary, just to name a few!!

Recently named 2020 Organization of the Year by the Durand Area Chamber of Commerce for all the hard work.

2019 – 2020 Grange Activities

Last year,  2019, we held several events to raise money to help with the tornado victims in our county.   A project that was well received and very much appreciated.  This year, 2020, we decided to start a fund to replace the Historical Sign that had been stolen, damaged and later found in the local river.  This sign was not the responsibility of the Grange but had been placed on property that is not owned by the Grange close to 60 years ago.  Due to the Covid 19 our fund amounts have been growing slowly, but hopefully between now and next summer we can raise the $3,000+  to replace it.   This year we have also fulfilled a few projects that have helped those that needed extra help because of the pandemic and then an area north of us was hit with floods due to dam failures.  We gathered a car load of non-perishable foods, cleaning supplies, paper products, blankets, towels and washcloths to donated to those many, many victims.  It’s definitely been a strange year but we are continuing to do what we can to help our communities.
