Monkton Florona Grange Thursday May 14th

The Monkton Florona Grange will be meeting on Thursday May 14th at 7:00 p.m.  The Grange is located at 1496 Monkton Road in Monkton.

The meetings follow a simple agenda that revolves around the reports of “committees” that share news and spark discussion. Those area include: legislative reports; local government news; “is any committee member in sickness or distress” (how can we help); youth report–news from schools; events committees; community service; Grange communications and reports. This format is flexible according to the needs of the group.

The meeting concludes with a pot luck dinner and casual conversation.

Special meetings can occur with a wider public focus. Examples from the past include meet-the-candidates forums; historical lectures; musical performance; community suppers and other special events.

All are welcome.
