This April newsletter
is my last note to all of
you in my capacity as
Governor of Lodge
#257. I have enjoyed
serving as your
Governor for the last two years. I have worked very
hard to keep things running smoothly and make
important changes and improvements here at our lodge
home. Nothing that was accomplished could have been
done without the support of my board of officers, the
WOTM Chapter #1133, the volunteers, the employees
and the entire membership. All of these people work
hard and give up many hours of their free personal time
to make this lodge great!
I’d like to thank our current Administrator, Bruce Helberg Jr. and our office worker, Randy Moye, for keeping
our business and the bar operating daily.
I hope that all men in good standing membership status
will be active in the nomination and election process for
our next Governor and board of officers. The election
date and times are included on the calendar of this
newsletter. Please be involved and vote. Installation of
new officers will be April 24th. I hope to see you there.
Please see the calendar and come out to support our
meals and events. Remember to check your membership expiration date and renew in time to receive your
new card before your old one expires. Always have your
up-to-date membership card with you.
I’d like to thank Vera Lightfoot for running the Chili
Cook-off last month. Also, Vera continues to do a great
job with this newsletter.
It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your
Governor. I gave it my all. I learned that you can’t
please everyone and I want you to know that I did
everything with the best interest of the lodge in mind. I
will remain involved as your Jr. Past Governor, but look
forward to having less responsibility at the lodge and
more free time with my family. Thank you to everyone
that helped and supported me. I hope your new
Governor and board of officers are up for the challenge.
Hey All,
I want to thank you all for a great year! Thanks to all the
Officers and Chairman that worked hard for me this year,
it is greatly appreciated. We couldn’t have had such a
wonderful year without all of you.
Congratulations to all the winners in the chili cook-off.
Thanks to all the judges and people that came out and
supported the event.
We had a good turnout for the children’s Easter Party. I
would like to thank the Easter Bunny for taking time out
of his busy schedule to come and visit us again this year.
Thanks to everyone that donated hard boiled
colored eggs and candy.
As we approach the end of our fiscal year, I would like to
remind everyone that you can still accrue points through
Moose International by signing on new members,
renewing dues, donating to Moose Charities, plus many
other items. Learn more about it by signing into your
account on mooseintl.org.
Thanks,
Kimy Helberg

BLUEBERRY CRUMB BARS
INGREDIENTS
For the Crumb
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 egg
For the Blueberry filling:
4 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
Juice of one lemon
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
2. Make the Crumb: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Use a fork or
pastry cutter to blend in the butter, and then the egg (the dough will be crumbly). Press half of dough into
the prepared pan.
3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Gently fold in the
blueberries to coat evenly with the sugar mixture. Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust,
drizzling any excess juice in the bowl over the filling. Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the
blueberry layer.
4. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown. Cool completely before cutting into
squares. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature or
in the refrigerator.
Taco Night

Queen of Hearts
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat inside of bundt pan with cooking spray
2. Place warm water, onion soup mix and dry stuffing mix in a bowl. Mix well. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow
bread time to absorb water.
3. Add eggs and ground beef. Mix well. Best to get it blended by using your hands and incorporating it all
together.
4. Place evenly into bundt pan. You can also put into muffin tins to make individual loafs.
5. Bake 1 hour or until no longer pink inside.
6. Remove and allow to rest 5 minutes before cutting into.

RECIPES OF THE MONTH

MOOSE ON THE LOOSE
I know in this house there is a pet moose;
he slept in my room, but then he got loose.
I carefully checked all of my drawers
and looked under rugs on all of the floors,
emptied my pockets, and looked in the sink,
hoping that maybe he stopped for a drink.
He’s not in my bed or watching TV;
I don’t understand - oh, where did he flee?
I can’t tract him down, I’ve had no success;
this whole situation is causing me stress.
I’d call a detective, but would that be wise?
He’d think I was foolish, losing something that size.

At the final NASCAR race last year Nick Tabor won tickets to the Phoenix (Sunday, April 13th) race.
Here are a couple of photos. He took Dan Jagoditsh with him, and they both had a wonderful time.
