Why Join Our Grange
157 Granges serve Oregon communities. Membership is inclusive; you are welcome to become a member regardless of your religious beliefs, political leanings, age or
sex. Because of this diversity, each Grange has its own unique characteristics. Our Grange is the perfect place for local residents to become engaged in activities that support our Skyline community and to advocate for the well-being and resilience of this community. We are a friendly, fun-loving, food-loving, hard-working nonpartisan, nonsectarian group.
In addition to the benefits of being involved in the community, active members are eligible to receive a discount on building rental and for discounts to participate in many workshops. The State Grange provides college scholarships. The National Grange offers an assortment of member benefits, such as an insurance program, discounts for prescriptions and discounts on car rentals, hotel stays, and more. You can read about them at Benefits to Members – The National Grange.
How to Join Our Grange
If you are interested in joining our Grange or just learning more about it, you have several options. You can volunteer at a Grange event (always appreciated). You could attend any meeting, talk to any member, or read about us on our website. If you want to become a member, ask an existing Granger to sponsor you. If you don’t know one, we can connect you with one. Fill out the application and mail it in (address is on the membership form). New members are usually voted on at the next regular meeting. Full membership requirements include attending at least one meeting in person.
