Membership
A Place Sustained by Community
The Pine Grove Community House is a volunteer run gathering place shaped by the people who use it and care for it. Becoming a member is one of the most direct ways to support this shared space, meet neighbors, and stay connected to what happens here throughout the year.
Membership helps sustain the building, support programs and events, and ensure The Pine Grove remains open, welcoming, and full of life for community use.
Become a Member
Members are part of what keeps The Pine Grove active and available. Your support helps cover essential costs—maintenance, utilities, insurance—and makes it possible to host community dinners, nonprofit events, celebrations, and public gatherings throughout the year.
Membership is also about participation. It’s a way to stay connected, lend a hand, share a meal, and be part of a place where neighbors gather, stories are exchanged, and new friendships are always forming.
Membership Benefits & Opportunities
Monthly Community Dinners
Members and their guests are invited to a community dinner on the third Tuesday of each month, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

Details and RSVP information are shared by email and in the monthly member newsletter.

Music, games, tastings, and story telling are just some examples of the monthly social events at The Pine Grove. Get to know your neighbors and have some good fun.
