As efforts to restart a Grange in the Valley continue, new leadership is in place with the election of an executive board.

Last month, state-level board members facilitated the election of an executive board for Sallal Grange #955, who have now started the ball rolling.

The executive board of the Sallal Grange Hall includes President/Master Allen Roberts; Vice President/Overseer Nels Melgaard; Secretary Karen Granger; Treasurer Douglas Abrahamson; and Program Director/Lectuerer Jeff Warren.

The board will serve a one year term as members, now nearly 40 in all, work on defining their goals, objectives and mission.

At a January meeting, Judy Talton, Cathi Davidson, Teresa Warren, Mary Sackmann and Aly Ohno were given leadership positions.
