| "The
Grange means caring and hospitable people. They make you feel a
welcomed part of this community." |
"To me
the Grange is a community service association and communication is the
most important part of any community. The Grange has been the most
important part of my twenty plus years in Garden Valley" |
|
"The
Grange, to me, means like interests, community-minded, good
potlucks, fun and fellowship. The Grange serves the community, has
community forums and is a center that is advantageous for other uses and
accommodations. |
"I love the Grange
because it means I can be involved in community affairs and enjoy
the friendship we all have among one another." |
| "The Grange means
meeting new friends and joining in fellowship through our potluck
dinners and other events. It also means to serve the community where
possible |
"The
group supports agriculture and has the ability to provide a big
lobbying entity on legislative issues. Each Grange is
non-partisan.
The Grange is our one stop community organization providing the
structure for most rural political needs in a small community
atmosphere." |
| "To be a member of
the Grange is to be involved locally, to keep up with news regarding
who is your next door neighbor, who are your county government
officials, etc." |
"The fellowship we
share creates more friendliness and awareness of individual
problems and needs. The neighborhood
watch program makes us alert to
anything strange." |
| "The Grange means
that I enjoy the larger sense of community that the Grange helps
create; the commitment to family and community service, growing a
circle of care, and an awareness for our neighbors." |
"Being
a Grange member gives me a sense of community in an agricultural
arena; not to mention the great pot-lucks. It seems the Grange is
losing some members as time goes by, and having new folks join
guarantees the organization will never fizzle away." |
| "To me the Grange
means great Pot-lucks, which are relaxed way to interact with
friends and neighbors. Community awareness and exchange in ideas is
important as well as fund-raisers for needed dollars." |
"The
Grange means fellowship at Pot-Lucks and Business Meetings and
keeping me up on the latest community happenings with neighbors." |
