From the Administrator

Congratulations Brothers and Co-Workers, we are 100 years old! Those who came before us laid a strong foundation and nearly fifty years ago the second or third generation of members built our present Moose Family Center. Now, as the second or third generation in this great building it is our responsibility the leave a prosperous and financially stable lodge for the future generations. As I keep saying, the one thing that we can all do to ensure a future of our Lodge is to increase our participation in the Lodge. Of course we are always looking for more volunteer workers but, more importantly, we need your participation in our events. Our volunteers put in countless hours preparing for our events and for our daily openings even when there is no event and when only a few members show up it is very demoralizing but they keep on plugging away. When you do come in please thank the volunteers for all they do for us.

Moose International is giving away 20 life memberships. 10 will be for Brothers and 10 for Co-workers. Any paid up Brother or Co-worker who pay their next year’s dues between 1/1/2012 and 2/29/2012 will have their name in a drawing to be held in March to give away the 20 Life Memberships. The payments must be processed by Moose International by midnight February 29, 2012 to be eligible. You can mail your payment by check to Moose International Dues Processing Center, PO Box 88065, Chicago, IL 06680-1065. Please include your Moose ID# and phone number on the face of the check.

You can also pay by credit card on line and at https://secure.mooseintl.org/QuickPay/.

If you would like to pay on line but don’t have a computer give me a call and I’ll do it for you here at the Lodge.
