A Note From Norma
A special appeal from Norma Walker Goff to Grange friends and supporters

The Whallonsburg Grange Hall has been a fixture in the community for many of my own years, starting when it actually was a local Grange, with a Juvenile Grange group, which I was a part of. To see it come back to life, to thrive and grow over the last twenty or so years has been phenomenal! The films shown, the interesting Lyceum talks, musical events, continuation of the Election Day dinner, and the summer and holiday celebrations are all so special, bringing people in from near and far. These are wonderful gatherings and displays of community spirit, a social time, as well as fun events and evenings.

Our Grange hall, with all these activities, has truly been a positive part of our community. It does take funds to keep the building up, and for that, we rely on you to assist. It is my pleasure as a current board member of The Grange to ask you for a contribution to help make more things happen and maintain the building. Please give as generously as you can!

We hope that, like Norma, you’ve experienced directly the impact that the Grange and Whitcomb’s has in our region. Everything you see here — a lively cultural center with programs throughout the year, small businesses and arts space at Whitcomb’s, a meeting hall available to organizations and families, and now a riverside park and gardens — came from the seeds planted by the original Grangers. It’s amazing, irreplaceable and has transformed our community.

As Norma says, to keep the Grange and Whitcomb’s growing we rely on you. We’re deeply grateful for whatever you can give. Thank you for your support.
