The Florissant Grange #420

The Florissant Grange #420 is a rural Grange. We operate out of a Historical School House purchased by our Grange organization.

EVERYONE is welcome at the Florissant Grange.

(The Florissant Grange and its members own the property and the Historic School House.  The property is private and as such, we reserve the right to remove any person or persons who are not in good standing with the Florissant Grange.)

We have been working hard to keep the Old School House floors beautiful since we refinished the floors 3 years ago.  We just finished polishing them and they look fantastic.

We continue to keep the Old School House in good shape.  Last year we changed the kitchen water heater and added a dishwasher.  This year we need to save enough funds to purchase a new furnace for our Grange.  Ours is getting very old and needs replacing very soon. We continue to need your donations to keep our Grange Hall, the Beautiful Old School House in operation.  Thank you for your continued support.

Thank you in advance for helping us while we raise the necessary funds for the ongoing renovation of the Old School House, Florissant Grange Hall.

WHAT IS THE GRANGE?

We receive many questions about the Florissant Grange Organization and the answer to most of these questions, are:  The Grange Organization is a Fraternal Organization that is centered on Community Service.

We are dedicated to our Community and we thrive on community support.  We are open to everyone and invite everyone to join us at all our activities and meetings.  We love to gain new members and encourage everyone to join.  You do not have to be a member to come to our events or to come to our meetings.  If you are curious about us – come see what we are all about.  We have a very corny motto, but it is true to its word… “You are never a stranger if you are a Granger.”  Join us anytime.

Everyone in good standing with the Grange, is welcome at our events and to attend our monthly meetings.  Come see what the Grange is all about. We are not a closed organization, and we encourage everyone to join us.  We would love to have you as a member because we are here for YOU.    Please remember the Historic School House and the property it sits on is owned and operated by the Grange Organization.  It is NOT community space, it is private property that we open our doors to our community members for classes, events and music.  With this in mind, please be respectful of our Historic Site and members, differing opinions and political views of the community.  We should all be able to respect one another no matter what our political differences are.  Part of the Grange motto is to be kind and peaceful citizens, a good motto for us all to follow.
