NEW BULLETIN PROTOCOL
LAST CHANCE TO RECEIVE YOUR
NEWSLETTER
In an effort to deal with budget issues
throughout the lodge, the House Committee
has decided to discontinue the USPS mailing version of the monthly bulletin. Beginning with the January issue, our monthly
bulletin will be distributed by email, through
the website or picked up at the lodge. The
website contains a complete color version of
the current bulletin as well as a separate current calendar file. The email version will remain as it is now. If you are not receiving an
email version and have an email address, notify the Administrator for LOOM members
and the Recorder for WOTM members. For
those members that do not have access to a
computer or the internet, submit your name
to the Administrator or Recorder to be
placed on the Pick-up list. There are several
people, currently, picking up their newsletters from the Lodge. Some of those people
are not picking them up each month. If you
do not regularly pick up your copy, your
name will be removed from the list.

It is a very cold December: icy roads
and driveways. Please be careful when
walking or driving. We want everyone
to stay safe and comfortable during this
miserable cold period.
January is a very slow month, but there
are still lunches and Thursday night
dinners, Friday or Saturday dinners and
an occasional Breakfast. Signup, show
up and support the Lodge. If you can,
sign up and give us a hand in the
kitchen, or come in on the first Tuesday
of the month to help on work day.
Diane Freier and the ladies did a great
job, once again, with the Christmas
party. Well done ladies and thank you
for every thing you do to help this
Lodge stay as one of the best in the fraternity. Without the ladies, this Lodge
would not be as good as it is.
If we are able to find Crab this year, the
Crab Feed will be on February 27,
2016. When tickets go on sale, get
them early or wait until 2017.
My Bull Moose of the month is different this month. It is ALL MEMBERS
of the Lodge who are here to work and
support the Lodge. Without these
people, there would be no Ebbetts Pass
Moose Lodge or WOTM. Thanks to
all of you. I hope all of you had a
great Christmas and new year. When
you come into the Lodge, say hello to
everyone and if you don't know them,
introduce yourself. They might become a friend for life!

Wishing you and your family a Happy Year.
As we kick off the 2016 New Year, we only
have four months left in our Moose Year that
ends April 30. That means it’s time to get
serious about our new officers and committees. This process starts with you. If you are
interested in running for an office or committee, please let me or any officer know. Intent
to run for office forms will be available at the
bar and must be completed and returned to
the administrator before the first nominating
committee meeting. That date will be announced soon.
A Look Back
Upgrades and maintenance projects.
We upgraded our Social Quarters TV.
We installed an ATM in the Social Quarters.
We installed a new on demand water
heater.
Upgraded Front yard sprinklers and
lighting.
Thank you to all our volunteers and
member donations needed to complete
all of these projects.
Correction: LAST MONTH I REPORTED
THAT DUES WOULD INCREASE BY
$2.00. on May 1st, 2016. The following para-
graph is the correction to that statement. On
May 1, 2016 the first of three $2.00 increases in the Moose International Per capita amount will take place.. This is a portion of each member’s annual dues remitted
to Moose International. This means our
Lodge will lose $2.00 per member that we
currently receive from Moose International
from our member’s annual dues. The second year, another $2.00 per capita increase
will occur making a total of $4.00. And the
third year will be the 3rd and final $2.00
increase for an overall total of $6.00 per
member. This per capita increase was announced at the International Convention in
Nashville this past July. At this time there
is no plan to increase our members’ dues as
we hope to be able to make up the loss
from increased lodge events and more
member participation. Time will tell. I
encourage all members to please participate
in lodge events as much as you can.

Senior Regent’s Update
Happy New Years everyone! 2015 was a
very busy and successful year for the
Women of the Moose. We had so many
things going on our heads were spinning, but
in a good way (if there is such a thing, lol).
Thank you everyone who helped in both
large and small ways to keep our Chapter
and Lodge going. Also, thank you for providing thousands of hours of Community
Service to both our Community and Moose
International. I know you do not always hear
the Thanks You’s as much, or as timely as
they should be, but we all thank you very
much for everything you do. Every member
of our lodge has a role to play.
In the month of November and December,
our Women of the Moose participated in
numerous events. November 21st, we had a
New Member Orientation, which had a great
turn-out. This was the same day as Sonora’s
College of Regents Ceremony and I want to
thank our ladies who missed our Orientation
to support our Sonora sisters. Of course our
annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner
was a great success, thanks to the Heller's
and all the volunteers. The next day, we
staffed a hot beverage booth and did the
Child ID program at the Parade of Lights (in
we had lady elves in the kitchen to bake the
cookies for the Kids Christmas Party, so the
kids could decorate them the next day. The
party was well attended and we so appreciate that Santa and Mrs. Claus could be there
even with their busy schedule on the North
Pole. Thank you Chris Lestanguet and
Colette Scales for attending the party in my
absence. We did ALL of that, and provided
the meals for many of those events and during the months. Thank you to everyone who
helped out and attended all of these events.
You rocked it!!! Now get some rest….
The Co-worker of the month is Linda Crum.
She showed up for College of Regents (she
even played a last minute role in our red
stole ceremony), Green Cap, our Ornament
exchange, and made our AOF luncheon a lot
of fun. She always brings dishes to events
even if she can't be there, and she has been
an advisor to our Chapter. She also travels to
do so, and had brought other members with
her.
freezing temperatures mind you). Thank
you to Colette Scales, Karen Pennington
and Scott Freier for helping out, I hope by
now you are all thawed out. November 29th
we teamed with the LOOM for the Erik
Momyer Memorial, which I hope helped to
ease the burden for Erik’s family. Thank
you Charlotte Armstrong and Kathy Carpenter and others for all that you did to
prepare for that special day.
On December 1st, many of our ladies
showed up for the Work Day to help decorate the inside of the lodge and stuff gift
bags for our annual Kids Christmas Party
(held on December 12th). Later the evening
of the 1st, WOTM had their annual Ornament Exchange Party directly after our First
Meeting of the Month. We all had a great
time and ended up with some adorable
gifts. December 8th, our Higher Degree
Chair, Della Taylor, held an Academy of
Friendship Christmas Luncheon at the
Snowshoe Brewery, where we had a lot of Have a Safe and Happy New Year!

fun exchanging gifts. Later that evening,
Senior Regent
we held our annual Green Cap Ceremony
in recognition of all Green Cap recipients
and our newest recipient, Colette Scales.
Congratulations Colette!! December 11th
Activity
Message
We had very active November & December thanks to all of our volunteers and I
want to take the time to thank the Women
of the Moose for their in involvement in
the White Pines Parade of Lights. This
was the first time that this event was done
in White Pines and it was a big success
despite freezing cold weather the night of
the event.
The Chair Person from the Women of the
Moose was Karen Pennington and her
committee is Mooseheart & Moosehaven.
She planned and provided hot drinks for
the participants and spectators, for the
White Pines Parade of Lights. The drinks
were served in the parking lot of the
lodge and park and gave the Moose great
exposure to the Public!!
Thanks to Mary Ann Fabian & Joe Salvato and Jerry & Kathy Osincup who
borrowed a trailer from Scott Freier and
created a float for the Parade of Lights
and again giving the Moose Lodge great
public exposure and they won 3rd place!!
Cindi & Josh Heller stepped up and provided Free Thanksgiving Dinner for our
community and it is my understanding
they served over 250 dinners. A venture
like this can’t be successful without a lot
of planning Volunteers. THANKS
CINDI & JOSH AND ALL THE VOLUNTEERS!!
Thanks to Scott McKinney for taking care
of the Monday Night Football Pools during this year, GOOD JOB SCOTT.
Kathy & I will be leaving on January 11th
for our annual snowbird trip to Arizona
and maybe the East Coast, if we buy a
new motor home in Arizona?? While I am
gone Dan Leary will be handling the
Moose calendar, so if you want to cook a
dinner or a Wednesday BBQ contact Dan
at home 209-795 5868 or the Lodge 209705- 3112

UPDATE
Just wanted to update you on the
safe surfin' program. To date we
have been involved in numerous
events in our community. These

Hazel Fischer school, 2 open
houses at Michelson school, the
logging museum jamboree, Boy
Scouts of Murphys, Independence
Hall garage sale, the Easter party at
the lodge, White Pines Christmas
Parade in Arnold.
To date we have completed over
150 child ID kits for the children
and seniors in our community.
Thanks!

Safe Surfin' Committee Chair
It was another cold, cold work day. We
got so much done inside this month.
Terry Kish, a fairly new member was
there to help. Dennis Murch joined us
and what a work horse he is. Glad you
could come and help out, Terry and Dennis. Of course, we have our regular
work horses and they did a mighty fine
job too!! Rod Cummins, Ray Sutliffe,
Mike Brashear, Scott Freier, Ted Carpenter, Steve Minneci. Karl Malmin
came up to me the other night and was
sorry he missed work day. I think we
can excuse him even though he and
Donna were in Mexico soaking up the
warm sun.
As always, the kitchen got a good scrubbing. We even got the floors looking
spic and span. All of the bar glasses got
a good run through the sanitizer and the
bar area got an extra cleanup. The light
fixtures got a good dusting. Scott Freier
checked the emergency lights (gave that
one to a tall guy) and we ordered new
batteries for them. Don’t’ want to be
caught in the dark.
Now, on to the ladies who come every
year on the December Work Day to
decorate the lodge for the Christmas
Holiday. Our Sr. Regent, Diane Freier
led the ladies in a wonderful project.
Bonnie Doiel, Mary Ann Fabian, Chris
Lestanguet, Marilyn Harlow, Kathy Carpenter, Donna Holley, Kathy Eback,
Melanie Kish, and Shirley Small. Terry
Kish did double duty and helped decorate. So, when you come into the lodge
during the holidays and enjoy the decorations, you can thank this fine group.
Next Work Day, Tuesday, January 5th at
9am. Hope you can make this one. I
will be gone for the Feb. and March
Work Days. Chris and I will be doing
our almost annual trip to Arizona and So.
California. We are looking forward to a
little warm weather also.
See you in April!
Jean Lestanguet
A Note from The Membership Chairman
Ted Carpenter
We are over half way through our membership year and we are behind on our membership
goals. As of 12-14-15 the members on our rolls is 540 and our goal is 552 leaving us 12 members behind!!!
We need a lot of help from all our members to try to make up for the 12 members, so If you
have a friend , relative that you want to have join you in the great events that this Lodge provides to our members, then take the time to fill out a membership application for them.
International has started a reward program for sponsoring new members and if you go on the
international web site and type in membership awards program you will see all the nice things
that they give for just signing up new members.
You should keep in mind that a new member will get a $10.00 saving for signing up right way
instead of paying $20.00 enrollment fee the fee is only $10.00. The amount to join is a $10.00
enrollment fee and $65.00 for the first year’s dues = $75.00 total!!
We will not be having a new member luncheon until the spring, I will notify you a month in
advance in my Membership Message.
I thank you in advance for the help that I know you will do to achieve our goals.
