Dear Brothers and Co-workers,
The summer is gone and fall is starting to
make changes in the weather. School is back
in session so we all must watch for buses and
our children. We will be working hard these
next couple of months with the Children’s
Halloween Party, also the Halloween Dance
for our members and their guests, and the
Veterans’ Dinner. We need help from our
members for these events.
Also Thanksgiving will be here before we
know it. We will again need volunteers for the
ringing of the bell for the Salvation Army. Food
boxes will be put together again this year as
well.
I would really like to encourage members
to come to our meetings and Moose
Legionnaires to come to the meetings on the
second Tuesday of each month.
Moose Legion Statewide and
Moose Legioneers Unite!!
Come join us in Virginia Beach for a fun time.

We would like to thank everyone that helped to fill the milk
cartons for the Mooseheart Renovation program. We collected
$244.00. We presented a check at Conference for $122.00. The
balance of the money went to the General Fund. This will be set
aside for Cindy Rohrbaugh to offset some of her cost to receive
her college in Nashville.
Respectively submitted,
Susan Mize and
Cindy Rohrbaugh

Hello Fellow Co-Workers,
Wow how the summer flew by and you can tell fall
is basically here with our cooler temperatures. I hope
everyone had a great summer and all of our children,
grandchildren, nieces, nephews etc. had a great
transition into a new year at school. Hopefully you took
some time to look at the pictures of our Family Picnic
and Back to School Supply Day that we had August
16th. The back to school supplies were a great success
and helped our kids obtain much needed school
supplies. This would not have been as huge of a
success as it was if not for all the women that helped to
put the bags together. With their help it took no time to
get the all the supplies together. This is just something
small we do for our children but seems to help in a big
way. I’d also like to thank Billy Patterson for heading up
the kids games and keeping them occupied throughout
the day. A big thanks to Mary Treadway’s daughter Sara
who did the face painting at the picnic and took time to
make sure all the children got their face painted and
touched up if needs be. We have had her face paint a
few times, her work is phenomenal and I look forward
to having her help us again in the near future! Thanks
to all the ladies who helped with the registration, 50/50,
picture raffle and directing everyone where to go; without
you all the picnic would not have run as smooth as it
did. I’d also love to thank all the members for the
wonderful dishes that were brought in! If you went home
hungry that was your own fault, our members definitely
know how to cook. I really appreciate each and every
one of you who took the time to come out and enjoy
some great food and fellowship.
At the end of August I attended our State
Conference held in Roanoke. I met many co-workers
and learned of various fund-raisers and opportunities
to help our Chapter raise money. We also went over
our new rules that are already in effect and the ones
that will take effect May 1st. These have been
mentioned numerous times in our newsletter, in the
meetings and, of course as you all know, the website,
thus I won’t be repeating them again. If you have any
questions see any of us board members and we will be
happy to answer any questions you may have. I had
the opportunity to have lunch with a Mooseheart
graduate and would love to tell you all about her
experiences and success story but we don’t have
enough room in the newsletter to tell her awe inspiring
story! Please though feel free to talk with me and I will
tell you all about her and how Mooseheart and our
contributions to Mooseheart helped her throughout her
young life. In October we have a few things going on.
One is our Children’s Halloween Party. This is going to
be held on October 25th from 2-4; the sign-up sheets
are in the social quarters and will be posted until the
15th. There will be a costume contest, crafts, candy,
snacks and more. I look forward to seeing your fun
Halloween costumes; the judges will be judging on
scariest, most original and cutest costumes in each age
group. We would love to have you help with the various
crafts during this party or if you have a Fall/Halloween
craft you love to do, let me know and if you’d like to
show the kids how to do it during the party that would
be great! Please let me know if you’d like to help in
anyway like volunteering your time, donating cookies
or cupcakes, teaching a craft etc. Thanks again for any
time you can give our children.
Here is a huge opportunity to sponsor members.
Between now and November 30th there will be 10
dollars taken off every application fee! That makes
the application fee now only 10 dollars! This is the
time to get your friends and family sponsored while it
saves them 10 dollars. Also what a great gift to give a
new friend or a family member for Christmas! A gift that
lasts a year and hopefully more, has many benefits and
the opportunity of fellowship with new people that will
hopefully become wonderful friends!
A few last reminders — our meetings are on the
1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7:30 pm, I hope
to see you there! We discuss various items going on in
our Chapter, community service we can help with,
events coming up in the lodge and many other items of
interest. In December we will of course have a
Children’s Christmas Party, if anyone would like to help
or wants to bring in a snack dish, cookies or cake please
let me know. Sign-up sheets for this will be posted for
the Christmas party in the Social Quarters and the dates
of that will be announced in the November newsletter.
We also are still looking for any volunteers to help with
Bar Bingo on Wednesday nights from 7-9.
Until next month,
Diane (Pink) Patterson, Senior Regent

Letter From the Editors
Changes, Changes, Changes
Moose International keeps talking about changes,
Changes are great, if we will change. Many suggestions
have been brought up just to be shot down because
people do not want to change. What worked years ago
is not working in this day and age. People have to
change to grow just as Moose International has said. If
you take forever to change you will be stuck in the
“Stone Age”, because the world is always changing.
One small change can lead to other changes. We have
to start small, so we can grow into the changes.
There’s been much controversy lately about changing the newsletter to six pages, so the next issue will be
back the way it was with much wasted space as before.
In the future, if there is a problem with the newsletter
please bring it to the attention of the editors.
Personals
Bereavement:
Our sincerest sympathies and condolences
to the family of . . .

NOTE
Newsletter Information
If anyone wishes to have birthdays or
anniversaries put in the newsletter or has any
knowledge of sickness or death, please let
the Governor or editors know.
“Did You Know?”
t To remove coffee stains from mugs, take a lemon

General Law Changes
For more information on changes in the
General Laws go to the Moose website

t Using shaving cream to clean bathroom mirrors will
keep them from fogging.
t To clean grout around the tub and shower, spray it
with white vinegar and scrub with a toothbrush. Let
stand ten minutes, then rinse.
Band Schedule
Our dances are for members and qualified guests 21
years of age and older. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Sports Fanatics
I know many of you are looking for a sports
page but “ALL” the sports are listed on the
calendar. So unless something changes, nine
times out of ten it will change, the sports will
stay on the calendar.
