The Moose Call
March 2024

President's Message

I hope everyone’s getting out and enjoying the warmer weather. If you have any suggestions for new activities, fund raisers or anything that might be on your mind please put it in the suggestion box next to the Administrator’s office.

I’m sure that you’re aware, but a reminder, Cornhole has tournaments on Monday and Wednesday each week. On those days, we are serving burgers, chicken strips, chicken fried steak sandwiches, chicken sandwiches from 6pm to 7pm. Come check it out sometime.

I know I leave the same reminders in my letter each month, but we have new members joining and I want to make sure they are aware of things to do at the lodge. I know Jean puts it in different places in the bulletin, but it is sometimes missed.

We want to start having a lodge cleaning every couple of months, please check your bulletin for the dates. Please come out and help if you can. We try to have a little fun while we are doing the dirty work. Thank you to all of you that show up every time we have them.

I want to remind everyone that we are now taking credit cards and have an ATM.

 Please come out and join us on Sundays for washers and darts.  Darts are the 1st and 3rd and washers are 2nd and 4th.  Fun day will be held on the 5th Sunday’s this will include but not limited to Mexican train and cards. We bring snacks on the 1st Sunday for darts, it is to celebrate our monthly birthdays.

The Women of the Moose hold their fund raisers on the 2nd week of every month please support their efforts in supporting Moose Charities.

I want to remind everyone that our members are the reason we have this lodge and the purpose of it is to support the Children at Mooseheart and the Elderly at Moosehaven.   We encourage our members to bring their guests and join the Moose for this purpose.

 

Fraternally,

Tina Holloway, President

Why didn’t you ask me to help? Because you saw we needed help but still didn’t offer!
