Grange in the Time of Quarantine

For Central Union Grange our March meeting was scheduled for Monday March 16th, however on March 16th those over age 60 were told to stay home. Then group gatherings  of more than 10 people were curtailed, so after consultation with some of our membership we cancelled that meeting.

On Monday April 20th we will be holding a Zoom meeting for the first time. So we are making every effort to continue to grow our Grange. Just last weekend the California State Grange held their meeting via GoToMeeting. Last week the National Grange started offering online discussions and meetings using Facebook in combination with Zoom or YouTube. It is happening across the country.

Grange members have been firing up their sewing machines and make face masks for hospitals, healthcare workers, and first responders. We are checking on each other to make sure our seniors, families, and singles are doing well. 

Perhaps the most important message is to remember our principles of Faith, Hope, Charity, and Fidelity.  Make sure you are following the social distancing guidelines in your community which may include STAY HOME, take time for yourself, and wash your hands.  May you be safe and well. Until we meet again.
