As the Moose year concludes and we begin
another, I would like to share some things your
Lodge accomplished during the 2014-2015 year.
Your Lodge surpassed last year’s donations
to Moose Charities. Your Lodge administered four
raffles on our gaming permit. This helped two
Youth Sport teams, a school for students with special needs, and cystic fibrosis. Your Lodge donated
to local organizations that help the needy: Beans
Café, Food Bank, Children’s Lunch Box,

From the Desk of the Administrator
Congratulations to the
Lodge and Chapter Officers elected for the
2015-2016 Moose
year. I am looking forward to working with
you. Besides all the duties that come with your
office, we must make
an “above the call of
duty” effort to reverse
the ever decreasing
membership rolls. Enrolling new members or
retaining our present
membership MUST become a top priority. My
sincere thanks to the
2014-2015 Officers,
Chairman and CoWorkers of the Lodge
and Chapter. Thank you
for your dedication and
the many hours you
have given. PLEASE
share your experience
and knowledge with
those that come after
you. Contact Governor
Deitz if you are interested in chairing a
standing committee of
the Lodge.

An active chairman,
working with the Governor and Officers can
cause things to go much
smoother. It is truly impossible for one person
to get it all done. Working together is not only
a lot more productive,
it’s a lot more fun. Parents and Guardians of

out to apply for the R.
