The Grange members of the Western Region states (California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana) welcome you to the Silver State in Sparks, Nevada for the 156th Annual Session of the National Grange! \u00a0<\/p>\n

In keeping with the theme \u201cGrange: Making A Difference!,\u201d the hosting members have created new experiences and different ways of doing things at this National Grange Session. Granges make a difference every day, in different ways, in each of their communities. This is a celebration of those differences and commonalities. We ask that you keep an open mind and explore our new events and take a look at the Granges who are trying new things!\u00a0<\/p>\n

The members of the Western Region want to share their cultures, geography, and programs with all of the Grange members attending. \u00a0Always keep the eye of the mind open, carry a pencil to note down new ideas, and share with each other. Oh \u2013 and have LOTS of fun and laughter, and take a ton of pictures! We hope that every member who attends will be able to leave at the end of the week with many new friends, ideas, and a renewed vigor for the work of the Grange.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Take every opportunity at this National Grange Session to learn something new every day that will make a difference in your Grange life. Welcome to Sparks!<\/p>\n
