Hello!

I am Dan Keeley, Master (President/CEO) of the Maplewood Grange this year.  My responsibilities include website administration, Hall emergencies (plumbing, electrical and etc.), meeting planning and administration and executive functions in general.  I am also able to fill in for many of the other members responsibilities if they are not available.  My priorities as Master are to make the Grange active, exciting and relevant to the community without demanding excessive time or resources from the members.  To that end we have made the hall available for charitable organizations at reduced rates, shortened meetings and reduced the famous grange formality at regular monthly meetings, reserving the beautiful but time consuming ceremonial aspects  of the grange for special meetings.  We also participate in state grange functions such as the annual state meeting, legislative day and  various officer education programs sponsored by the state and Pomona grange organizations.  See "Officers" page for the organizational chart and officer titles of our organization.  Read on for a description of the grange organization in general and Maplewood in particular.


A Grange is a family oriented, agriculturally focused fraternal organization open to all.  We operate a hall for our meetings and other community functions, benefit charitable organizations such as 4H and Scouting, offer college scholarships, support Deaf awareness and lobby for our values in the community at large.  Click the following link to see a summary of the history of the national grange.    Maplewoods local history is also summarized below


Grange History
Maplewood Grange is a subordinate grange of the Clackamas pomona (county organization).  It is located just northeast of Aurora, Oregon on Hwy 99E.  Maplewood was organized in 1925 and the current building constructed in 1938, mostly with volunteer labor, some expert, some not so much.  The original building cost $1900.   It was upgraded over several years in the 1940s with the addition of a larger basement with commercial style kitchen. Meetings and the various grange related activities have taken place continuously since the founding. The building has seen a flurry of upgrades in the last few years including a well upgrade, some new siding, refurbished windows and storm windows, installation of air conditioning, attic insulation, a handicap ramp and more.  Significant recent activities at the Grange Hall have included Pomona meetings, square dance clubs, Zumba, 4H clubs, government meetings and various private functions.
