Volunteering
Volunteers are always welcome at the Grange. There's a year-round supply of outdoor maintenance needed with mowing, weeding and mulching. The ramp and porch need some serious help, so the Grange is looking for decent lumber donations and carpentry skills. Goodies are provided for any work parties! Contact Barbara at barbaratusting97@gmail.com if you can spare any time.
 
We are also in need of help keeping administrative works going. If you are computer-savvy, help putting out the monthly newsletter via Mailchimp, updating the website (Blogger – html knowledge a huge plus), and bookkeeping are all desired!  Contact us at quimpergrange@gmail.com Thank you!
