GIGANTIC THANKS
to Elaine Cuthbert, former long-time Grange member, who made a huge and beautifully timed donation to the Montague Common Hall. Because of her generous donation, we are able to have our old windows not replaced, but restored to their former glory, just when they were about to drop out of their frames.
Thank you so much, Elaine!
(And here's our contractor Chris Foley's contact info, if you are looking for meticulous restoration and painting: (six one seven) 596-9056)

If you want to be awesome like Elaine (and honestly, who doesn’t?), and help us move toward larger fundraising goals that would help with major upgrades and restoration work, please send checks to:

Become a Sustaining Member
If you don’t have a pajillion bucks to drop on the MCH, this is the next best thing – AND IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. Our sustaining memberships are how we know we can pay our utilities from month to month. Because we are committed to keeping our rental fees low so that more of the community can use the Hall, our rental income barely pays the bills.
If you love the Hall as much as we do, please consider a sustaining membership of $10 a month – or more! That’s 2 fancy cups of coffee, or 3 gallons of gas, or a modest bottle of wine you could probably do without!
NEW this year with your Sustaining Membership: After your first 6 months of being a sustaining member you get one free rental of the Hall of up to 4 hours, per year. For more details contact us at info@MontagueCommonHall.org or if you are ready to sign up, go here.
Volunteer
Please join our tiny, passionate band of volunteers who paint, clean, restock, and organize events and classes. Seriously, WE NEED YOU. Many hands not only make light work, but also energize, nourish, and renew our commitment to keeping this community resource alive.
Finally, PITCH US!
If you have a great idea for a public event – a film, speaker, concert, class – let us know. We love to host events that benefit the larger community.
Hope to see you soon at the Montague Common Hall!
