On the morning of April 21, members of the High Desert Grange met with Mayor Tedford as he issued a Proclamation that April is Grange month in Fallon.
The Proclamations lists the attributes of the Grange that makes it a valuable organization in our community, including that, “The Grange strengthens individuals, families, and communities through grassroots action, service, education, advocacy, and agriculture awareness.” High Desert Grange Vice President Taylor Reynolds accepted the Proclamation, which is signed by the mayor and affixed with the seal of the City of Fallon, on behalf of the Grange.
During the meeting, Mayor Tedford presented Grange members who attended with a pen engraved with “City of Fallon.” High Desert Grange is grateful to Mayor Tedford for his recognition of this important organization in our community.
