January 2015 February E-Bulletin WASHINGTON STATE / NORTHERN IDAHO MOOSE ASSOCIATION 2015 Mid-Year Conference … Free Registration Yes, you’re reading that right. IF you’re a LOOM and you’ve never attended an Annual Convention or Mid-Year Conference before, you’re registration fees are FREE! And for all those other LOOM Members, your registration fees have been reduced to just $5.00! This is your Association’s way of encouraging you to come to Pasco March 19-22nd to meet, greet and interact with our official visitors Director General Scott Hart and Grand Chancellor Barb McPherson. We don’t get to see these kind folks out in the West too often so it’s a real treat and feather in our cap to have them here for our Conference. There’s also much more to see and do during the Conference, too. On Thursday around noon you can join with your Brothers and Sisters to help serve lunch at a local Homeless Mission. Friday morning there’s an opportunity to bond with our four footed friends at the Human Society where we can take them for a walk. And, there’ll be a Blood Mobile on Friday and we’re also asking you to bring some nonperishable food items we’ll be donating to the local Homeless Food Pantry. Plenty of opportunities for you to show your community spirit to the Tri-Cities area. And, there’s plenty of learning and fun entertainment, too. There’ll be training Sessions, workshop sessions and reports during the day. Friday night “USO Show” fun night where we’ll have the finals Karaoke Competition plus games and a silent auction. (Get in the spirit with military attire!) Plus the Saturday Night Banquet is being trimmed and spruced up to make it shorter and more exciting.
