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. Please make your
reservations now at redlion.com /
pasco or call 509-547-0701.
