Due to the changes to this year’s state session, we could not have exhibit rooms. So for this year, the Lecturer’s Department moved the Photography Contest to a virtual format! Enjoy this “Virtual Photography Showcase” of our members’ talents! Winners are noted with colored stars. Congratulations to our Best of Show winner, Ashley Mohn of Marion Grange #1853 in Berks County! Thank you to everyone who submitted photos this year!

Covid-19 News & Resources Grange Attorneys Laws, Staruch, Pisarcik about Rentals/CDC Guidelines Hello Grangers, I attached a letter from the Pennsylvania State Grange attorney concerning the rental of a Grange Hall during this Coronavirus. Obviously the first thing is NO rentals can be done if you are in a “Red” zone. Further guidelines pertaining to the number of people allowed in a group setting will be released by the Government as areas move from a “Yellow” zone into the “Green” zone. As you can see during the “Yellow” phase only 25 or less are allowed to assemble in one area. Social distancing is to be maintained. They have attached wording on the second page, item #5 that must be included in your rental agreement from now on. This can be an additional page to your agreement. The attachment includes CDC guidelines for cleaning. Now all of these suggestions may not or will not apply to your application. There are two signs that should be printed out and posted appropriately. If anyone has questions you can call my cell at 717.275.5045 anytime. Thank you and stay safe. Wayne D. Campbell President PA State Grange 20 Erford Rd Ste 216 Lemoyne, Pa 17043 717-737-8855 or 717-737-8856 president@pagrange.org

As mandated by the Constitution, the U.S. Census counts every resident in America every 10 years. The #2020Census will be unlike any other in our nation’s history. Simple on its face, the census requires years of careful planning. We're implementing new technology to make it easier than ever for the population to exercise its civic obligation to be counted in 2020. Join our webinar on May 24 at 2 pm ET for an overview of the current 2020 Census plans and where we're headed the next three years: http://go.usa.gov/cQUh3

From the desk of President Wayne Campbell Good afternoon, I thought I would remind everyone that the Pennsylvania State Grange does have a ZOOM conferencing agreement. If any Grange, group, committee or otherwise needs to meet and does not want to risk meeting in person, I can set up a ZOOM meeting for you. I will need member names and email addresses to set up a meeting. I can usually due this within 24 hours of being notified. If you do send a request, please call me at 717.275.5045 and tell me to check for your email. Many times I may not be in the office every day so it could get missed if you don’t call me. Thank you, Wayne Please remember to send us your Grange Events |
