As President of Mt. Lookout Grange, Jordan is the driving force behind bringing the organization’s vision to life. A long-time member of the Mancos community, Jordan plays a pivotal role in shaping the Grange’s events, fostering involvement, and ensuring its mission remains vibrant and impactful. Her leadership and dedication inspire both the board and the community to work together in creating a stronger, more connected Mancos.

For Jordan, the Grange is deeply personal. “The Grange stands as a pillar in my life, offering steadfast support to our small town of Mancos. The unwavering commitment to inclusivity and fostering relationships within our community continues to driive my dedication to the Grange, guiding me through over a decade of service on the board.”

Evan Richards serves as the groundskeeper of Mt. Lookout Grange, dedicating his time and effort to making the Grange a welcoming and well-maintained space for the Mancos community. 

When not tending to the Grange, Evan is often handcrafting human habitats, a skill that reflects his passion for creating functional and beautiful spaces. He also thrives in the great outdoors, exploring the mountains, canyons, and rivers, or nurturing his garden at home.

Evan appreciates the Grange’s role as an inclusive and supportive space for a broad demographic of the Mancos community. His dedication to community building and his love for the area’s natural beauty make him a cherished member of the Grange family.

Her dedication to the Grange and its mission is evident in the countless hours she spends volunteering, planning, and nurturing its growth.

Patricia grew up in the Mt. Lookout Grange family and has lifelong memories of the hall and the community it fostered. As a young person, she participated in 4-H projects, watched talent shows, learned to sew on donated Singer sewing machines, square danced, and even shared a few slow dances with her first boyfriend under the Grange roof.

When the Grange faced an uncertain future, Patricia played a key role in helping revive the organization in 2013 with the support of the Mancos community. She is incredibly proud of how far the Grange has come since then and the vibrant gathering place it has become once again.

For Patricia, the Grange represents tradition, community, and the enduring spirit of neighbors coming together to support one another—values she has helped preserve for future generations.
