Cannon Grange Support Our Troops Project

As a result of the project announced in January 2006 we have sent care packages to military personnel in the Iraq theatre who were recommended by friends or family in our community. A majority of the items, including many fine letters, were contributed by the student council and students of Branchville School in Ridgefield. The community certainly owes a debt of gratitude to these fine young people. The support our troops effort will continue for the duration. As donations are received to fill another care package a new one will be dispatched. Cash contributions should be made out to "Cannon Grange" and can be mailed to Cannon Grange at P.O. Box 25, Wilton CT 06897. You can also donate physical items - check the list of recomended items. Physical donations can be left with the Grange at the Grange Hall prior to or during any meeting (see meeting calendar on this page). You may also make special contribution arrangements by contacting Charles Gilliam, the Grange project coordinator at charlespgilliam@yahoo.com.

Every time you buy something from KEOUGH'S HARDWARE on Route 7, Branchville or 907 High Ridge Road Stamford tell them that you want a donation to go to support Cannon Grange and they will donate 10% of  your purchase to Cannon Grange. This does not increase the cost to you  of your purchase
