Donegal Grange #1927, Westmoreland County
Betsy & Carl spent Tuesday evening and most of the day Wednesday in Donegal, Westmoreland County working to re-organize the Donegal Grange #1927. 7 members attended the meeting at the Grange hall Tuesday evening and agreed to work to recruit more people to attend the upcoming September 22, 2009 meeting @ 7:00 p.m. at the Grange hall, 333 Church St., Donegal to officially re-organize.
Wednesday morning Betsy & Carl went to the Westmoreland County courthouse in Greensburg to get the Donegal Grange hall property off the Sheriff Sale list.
Most of the day Wednesday was spent stopping by local businesses and speaking to owners, community leaders and concerned Donegal area residents notifying them of the re-organization meeting. Carl will follow up with ads in local print newspapers including the Chamber of Commerce newsletter in an attempt to notify more people about the Grange in the Borough of Donegal and Donegal Township.
The re-organization meeting on Tuesday evening, September 22, 2009 is open to anyone interested. Any Grange members are invited to attend to assist Donegal in any way possible. Snacks and light refreshments will be served after the 7:00 p.m. meeting.
