Since 1867 the Grange has given members the opportunity to become leaders and to make a positive difference in their respective communities. Millions of Americans in thousands of communities have reaped the rewards of having a local Grange providing educational opportunities, community service projects, and legislative influence. During the 142nd year of service the Grange continues to advocate on behalf of traditional American values and aids in keeping the family structure strong by bringing the entire family together in one organization.  Edward Luttrell, President of the National Grange, has proclaimed April as Grange Month across the nation, and new members are encouraged.  For information on a Grange near you, log on to www.nationalgrange.org.
