MAPLEWOOD GRANGE, THE FAMILY PLACE . . HALL RENTALS, AURORA / CANBY, OR

May Meeting

5/24/2020

 
Thought for the month (holdover from last month):
                                  On good work, from Wendel Berry
To work without pleasure or affection, to make a product that is not both useful and beautiful, is to dishonor God, nature, the thing that is made and whomever it is made for.

So whatever we do, let us strive to do it well. - Subordinate grange manual
