At our Business meeting last week we added 12 new members from 3 different families. They decided that our first two projects are going to be Goats and Pinewood Derby. We will be kicking that off in January and look to build on this initial enthusiasm!
As we look forward to this fresh new year at the Fern Prairie Grange, we do so with hope and optimism. This past year we have performed many, many repairs and maintenance items on the Grange building, all of which enhance its appearance while increasing its longevity! In only a few short years, we will be celebrating our 100 year anniversary! What a resource and benefit to our community its been!
Our focus this year is on gaining members and increasing the diversity of events as we seek to meet the changing needs of our surrounding community! Our existing Family Game Nights, Family Folk Dances, and Jam Nights will continue to provide social activities for young and old alike. With the growing interest in Jr and Youth Grange in the county, we will be looking to gauge the interest of nearby families.
We are also interested in finding local groups that can provide training opportunities for our members that may not have space to do so. The Grange is a great place to host those activities!
So, if you want to be involved in growing interest in the Fern Prairie Grange, we would welcome your assistance. Stop by our business meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, or contact us at [email protected]
Have a great year!
