Moose Lodge 1534 / WOTM Chapter 139 Home

From the Desk of the Administrator,

Hope everyone is enjoying Summer

Our Lodge did well last year. We won’t know just how well until announcements are made at the International Conference in Nashville, but I do know we did well in membership. Our new member quota was 214 with 225 new members enrolled. It has been many years since our lodge has made quota. Thank you Sponsors! Thank you very much!
Top sponsor was Terry McIntosh followed very closely by Sean Palmer. Thanks to both of you for your extra effort.
Our quota for 2010-2011 is 170. To date we have enrolled 25 new members. We need everyone’s help to reach our goal. To help our sponsors the lodge will be paying $10.00 (half) of the $20.00 enrollment fee. Top sponsor this year will receive a life membership or $1,000 if he is already a life member.
July 1, 2010 a $.25 cent price increase was imposed on beer, wine and liquor. It is not our wish to impose these increases but simply a matter of business and profitability. It is because we are a private organization that we keep our prices as low as is possible, however due to increased costs and overhead expenses prices do increase. It happens in everyday American and it happens here at the Moose Lodge as well.
This year, like every year past, our goal is to keep your lodge running as efficiently as possible and we can only do it with your support. So stay involved, stop by when you can and we will all continue to have fun as a Moose family.
The Gimme 5 program depends on membership participation. If you haven’t already gotten into this program, please consider doing so as soon as possible. The financial future of Mooseheart and Moosehaven depend on the success of this program.
Don’t forget to give the office your reportable community service hours. The first quarter report will be for May, June and July.
This is the time of year we look for high school students to participate in the Youth Awareness Kids Talk Program. Students selected, participate in the Youth Awareness Congress in Fairbanks, where they receive training on how to give kids talks. Top talk givers receive scholarships. Contact the office for more details.
July 11th is the lodge’s annual picnic as well as the Lodges 94th birthday.
New in August will be Jam Sessions Sunday afternoons 3-6pm and the Ace of Hearts progressive raffle.
Looking forward to seeing you at the lodge. Everyone have a great-safe summer.

Fraternally

Hello Everyone,

Where did the first couple of months go? Highlights of May; the lodge honored our Past Governor’s and Senior Regent’s, then we had an outstanding Mother’s Day brunch. Then the weather was great for our annual lodge clean up day. To all volunteers who showed up and helped, thank you!
The Board of Officers for both the men and women have been busy setting up committees and planning activities for the coming year. June featured a visit from the Supreme Governor or the Loyal Order of Moose, Liguori Saladin. It was a great honor for him and our membership. Father’s Day brunch hosted by the Women of the Moose, was, as always a great job– Thank you ladies.
And to finish the month of June our annual golf tournament, chaired by Terry and Heather McIntosh-this is always a fun event and the food is outstanding. Thank you Terry and Heather for a great job.
In conclusion, our Lodge needs your help– by volunteering, getting involved and inviting your friends to become new members.
To paraphrase a famous quote “ask not what the lodge can do for you, but what you can do to help your lodge and this great fraternity”.

Fraternity,
Dennis Riley
Governor

Hello Everyone,

This summer sure is going by fast. Planting seems to be almost completed and everyone has beautiful trees blooming and flowers galore. Hope all of you are finding time to get out and enjoy some of this wonderful weather.

May and June were very busy with the Friday night dinners and a visit from the Supreme Governor and his wife. The wonderful LOOM put on a great breakfast/brunch for all the mothers of our lodge/chapter and a fathers day brunch on the 20th of June was a great affair with many dads coming to have a free lunch and candy dessert on the WOTM. Hope all of you that could, came to some of these functions to support our lodge/chapter.

Happy 4th of July to everyone, try to shake the hand of at least one enlisted person, who for sure is helping to keep all of us free and independent. I will be heading for Nashville, Tennessee for our Int’l Convention the 1st of July and hope to see many old friends from last year and make new ones this year. I will come back with many new ideas and the new theme for 2010 – 2011.

July is just as busy as previous months with dinners on Friday night by our Youth Involvement Chair, Rose Bloom and also our Ways and Means Committee working hard to make some wonderful food for all to enjoy. The summer picnic is July 11th and we hope many of you can come and take part in all the fun and games that our Junior Regent Maria Baumgardner is planning. All

the kids should have a great time and
win prizes too. There is a garage sale planned for the end of the month, so please clean out your garages and attics/basements and bring all the stuff over to the lodge on July 30th between 1p.m. and 8p.m. so we can get it set up and ready to open on Saturday. There will be Hot dogs and soda for sale also.

August is our Academy of Friendship month and they will be in the kitchen and all around the lodge doing things. They will be having their first scheduled meeting on August 14th in the dinning room, so if you are Academy, please plan to attend at 2:00p.m. Heather McIntosh is the Chair and would love to have you come and help plan more activities for the coming year. Also planned for the 14th is another chair persons meeting at 1p.m., so we can continue to plan for the year and help each other out with ideas for activities. We also have a new members meet and greet orientation on August 29th, so please plan on attending with your newly sponsored co-workers and show them the lodge and introduce them around.

As you can see many things are already planned, but we have room for more and hope to see you at our meetings on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays so that you can have your input into our planning. Calendars will be available on the bulletin board and you can get one anytime.

In Fraternal Friendship
Diane Marquiss Senior Regent
