After a two year COVID hiatus, we are thrilled to announce that monthly Grange meetings are resuming and everyone is invited! We’d love you to attend:
April 27th, 2022
Join us at 6:30 for soup, bread,
and anything optional you choose to bring.
At 7:00 we will welcome Richard Tucker,
executive director of the Jefferson Land Trust.
The main topics of conversation will include:
The tools the Land Trust has available to protect farmland in Jefferson County
Their work to protect and develop forest preserves such as Arlandia and Valley View Forest
Conservation measures to protect streams for salmon
Community education about conservation of environmental assets
We are also interested in hearing your ideas as to who you would like to hear from or what you would like to learn in future Grange meetings. We want the Grange to be relevant to your needs and interests! We’re working on some fun ideas of our own.
Going forward, we’ll try and settle back into the monthly “Second Wednesday of every month” schedule. The evenings will always begin at 6:30 with socializing and sharing in a light dinner followed by the “official” meeting starting at 7:00. We’ll keep you posted about future meetings by newsletters and on our website.
It is interesting to note that the Chimacum Grange was founded in 1918, the year of the Great Influenza pandemic. I guess this is nothing new, picking up after yet another pandemic. Here’s to another 100 years!
