2013 Oregon State Grange Convention

Come to the Land of Plenty June 16-21st in Canby for the 140th Oregon State Grange Convention. There has been a venue change since the previously announced location in Gladstone.

We are delighted to share with you the Canby Grove Christian Center, located at 7501 S Knights Bridge Rd, Canby 97013, just a few miles off I-5 in Canby. Grange members will enjoy the peace and serenity of the outdoors in this woodland camp set on the banks of the Molalla River.

Canby Grove has just over 74 acres of land and some 150 buildings. It operates year-round with a full-time staff of professionals to accommodate groups in numerous cabins and bunkhouses, in addition to RV camping sites. There are 15 different meeting spaces on site, with seating capacities from 20 to 900. Meeting rooms are equipped with modern audio/visual equipment to make hearing and seeing actions of the Oregon State Grange Convention easy for all.

Canby Grove also has a full-service dining facility to host our luncheon banquets, as well as, breakfasts and dinners. The chef at The Canby Grove proudly serves fresh and in-season food, supporting local farmers and providing the best ingredients. We therefore may not know the details of each meal until shortly before the convention. All breakfasts will be a full hot meal, such as eggs, sausage, French toast, fruit, etc. The luncheon banquets will be the heartiest meal of the day and the options will vary. Dinners will be on the lighter side such as soup, salad, and sandwich combos. The meals are all served by the staff very quickly, family style. We are confident you will be satisfied with the quality and value of meals at this year's convention. Be sure to submit your meal ticket form before June 1st.

RV parking and cabins/bunkhouses are available on site. Print and send this reservation form to reserve housing on site. This map lists hotels and motels, all located within 5 miles of the camp, for you to make your lodging reservations.
 
Many preparations are underway for a great convention this year, starting with our 140th birthday party on Sunday evening. The officers and committees of the Oregon State Grange are working with District 4 to host some great activities and workshops during the convention. 

If you have not previously attended the Oregon State Grange Convention, we hope this will be the year you come. We are delighted to share our section of Oregon with you along with the fellowship, networking, banquets, degrees, policy work, and traditions of the annual session. Please send all questions concerning the facility, housing, meals, babysitting requests during convention, or other special needs to: 2013oregongrangeconvention@gmail.com. We'll see you in June in Canby!

Oregonians soundly defeated ballot measures 82 and 83.  However, we will continue to display these banners as part of our membership campaign. With a little care in placement they should last over a year outdoors.

State Master Susan Noah

The Oregon State Grange recently elected Susan Noah, of Springfield, as the new Oregon State Grange Master. Susan, the former First Lady of Oregon State Grange, has served in many Subordinate and Pomona positions, including Master at each level, and has served as the Lady Assistant Steward, Lecturer and Secretary of the Oregon State Grange before being elected as Master.

Susan joined the Mohawk-McKenzie Grange in Lane County at 14, where her parents were members.  Today, she is still a member of that Grange.  Susan was the first woman elected Master of the Lane Pomona Grange and only the second female State Grange Master in Oregon.

Susan has been an accountant in the lumber and building products industry for many years, most recently with Springfield Lumber Products.  Susan and her husband, the immediate former Oregon State Grange Master Mark, have no children - except "all those Grange kids," Susan says - but the couple does have a 3-year-old Gordon Setter, Bailey, who rules the house.  Susan's hobbies, in addition to Grange, are cruising, kayaking, camping, reading and shopping.
