Mr. Lazar served as Trustee of Lodge 867, chairman of the Lodge's Moose (Continued on page 2) Member Profile - Ted Lazar Chapter News (Continued from page 1) Our chapter has been very busy with several projects this past month. Legion and Sergeant-at-Arms of the Golden Moose. He is also the Community Service Chairman of District 13. Brother Ted is proud that our Lodge is addressing the smoking issue by installing new fans and assigning non-smoking areas on busy nights. Also, Ted mentions that one of his most memorable experiences since becoming a member was being a contestant in the Miss Moose Pageant. As he states, "What a night!. I have never been hit on by guys before." To encourage membership in the Lodge, Ted says that current members need to bring prospective members in for a visit, and when they realize how friendly everyone is, they will want to join. He states that when we have a new member, we need to encourage him to come to meetings and to get involved. The success of our fraternity is dependent upon the willingness of our brothers to commit to the Lodge's well being. In his spare time, Ted enjoys being on the South Zanesville Fire Department, restoring vintage automobiles and attending car shows. We of LOOM Lodge 867 thank you Ted for all you have done and continue to do for us. Your dedication and unselfish giving of your time and energy is truly appreciated.

Sixteen men and seventeen ladies from Zanesville's Moose Lodge traveled to Coshocton for the final District 13 meeting of the year, and claimed the "Traveling Attendance Award" for Zanesville for the seventh consecutive year. Many comments were made that you made this the most successful District 13 meeting anyone could remember. This just proves that our members can and will get the job done.

Brick Special for August and September During the months of August and September, if you have already purchased and paid for one Inscribed Brick you may purchase another one for $75.00. If you have bought two or more, you may buy another one for $60.00. This special is good for these months only. We have also resumed our monthly 1/2 & 1/2. Drawings will be on the last Sunday of each month. Tickets are available at the bar. The seller of the winning ticket receives 10% off the top. If you want a chance at the 10% by selling some tickets, see me. The second phase of the $100 Club is due to start August 6, 2006, if we sell enough Memberships. There is a one time $10 fee for a Membership. Each member will be entered in a $100.00 drawing each Sunday for 25 weeks. We need to sell a lot more Memberships if this is going to go. So, if you've been waiting till the last minute, it is now the last minute. If not enough Memberships are sold to run this project, all money will be refunded. There will be no New Building Fund planning meeting in August. Steve Ward, Chairman New Building Fund Committee MOOSE LEGION MOOSE HOPPER BUS TRIP Sunday September 10, 2006 Zanesville – Cambridge – Caldwell – Marietta –Malta / McConnelsville – Zanesville The Coshocton members provided a great District 13 picnic for all to enjoy. No one went home hungry. It was a really hot day but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We even had several of our Moose Riders hop on their bikes and make the trip. Several Convention issues were resolved and the Joe Batross Chinese Auction netted $200.00 for the District Child Relief Fund. The first 2006 - 2007 OSMA District 13 Meeting will be Sunday, September 17th at our own Zanesville Lodge. The Officer's meeting is 1:00 pm with the Membership meeting following at 1:30 pm. It would be great to have another great turnout to get us on our way to another Annual Attendance Award. What do you think? Are we up to it? Can we make it eight years in a row? A free meal will be provided for all in attendance. Moose Rider’s Scholarship Open The Moose Rider’s election of officers was held at the June 4th meeting. The officers elected are as follows: President Phil Trout Vice President Barb Beddard Secretary Sandy Baughman Treasurer Tom Davy Freddie Knaup Memorial Scholarship applications are available and need to be returned to a Moose Rider or a Moose officer by the end of August.
