JONATHAN SATTAZAHN
MEMORIAL FUND
Jonathan’s family is
giving a large donation to establish a memorial fund within the
Pennsylvania Grange Foundation to benefit the Youth and Junior
Departments by enabling more young people to attend Youth Camp and
Junior Camp. Jon loved camp so much that they want to make the
experience available to more kids through their financial gift. If
you wish to make a donation to the Jonathan Sattazahn Memorial Fund,
make checks payable to PA Grange Foundation – Sattazahn Fund and
mail to the State Grange Office, 20 Erford Rd., Suite 310, Lemoyne,
PA 17043.

New for 2008!
Mark your calendars now.
The State Grange is planning to hold four Family Picnics around the
state. These will be covered dish picnics and the host Grange will
provide drinks. You need to bring a covered dish, plates, utensils,
