Heart of the Community
Making our communities better places in which to live is a
major portion of the mission of the Moose fraternity. Our
Lodges and Chapters annually contribute monetary donations, values of miles driven and value of hours served
totaling more than $75 million. From small projects to
large undertakings, from local programs to national and
international partnerships, the men and women of the
Moose are there – and they are reliable, compassionate
and genuine in their responses to the needs of others.
Our goal is for residents, both members and nonmembers, to see the Moose as “The Heart of the Community.”
Tommy Moose - The Tommy Moose program aids in helping children overcome fears and anxiety during times of
stress. Donated to Law Enforcement, Fire, and other
Emergency workers, Tommy Moose plush dolls are presented to children in various traumatic situations.
Moose Alert - Moose Alert is a tangible way to show local
communities that the Moose care and are willing to become involved as a significant resource in our home communities. Read more for information about Moose Alert
and how your Lodge can become involved. (cont pg 3)

Dear MooseNews readers,
It has been brought to my aEen7on that I
Jr Governor
Chris Rice
have missed naming volunteers in my list
Prelate
Bobby Lowe
each month. It is not my inten7on to cause
Administrator
Rick Reed
anyone stress or hard feelings by leaving
Treasurer
them out. I just don’t know who all of the
Richard Townsend
volunteers are. So, in order to alleviate the
Trustee: 1 year
Hazen Bernard
nega7vity around the whole missed name thing I will no longer
2 year
Art Slate
be naming each of you individually. It certainly wasn't my inten3 year
Corey Cully
7on to create conten7on among you nor to put one volunteer
Sgt. At Arms
Shorty Cook
above another. You are each unique and special in what you
bring to our Lodge.

sale donations and gifts for our children and our
community.
45 kids signed up to see Santa this year! Each one
was able to have a chance to write a letter so
Santa could bring something from their list.
We also helped
three local
families in need
this year.

Sr. Regents Talk
Governor's News
Hello everyone!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!
A new year has begun. Lets try
to make this the best year ever. I
hope everyone had a great Christmas.
I can hardly believe 2014 has
come and gone. We have welcomed
new members and lost very dear
members. We've had our good
7mes, our bad 7mes, disagreements, agreements... but through it
all we have persevered and s7ll
stand united as one.
December was a very busy
month for everyone and now we
can get back to basics. There will be
a lot of things going on the next few months. Keep an
eye on your calendar for upcoming events.
We want to give a shout out to Gary Brenner for all
the help he has given us the last few months. I also want
to thank all of our volunteers. Without you our lodge
would not be as great as it is.
We would like to thank Karla's Kapa Kids for performing at our children's Christmas Party. It was thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. Thank you to all the
women who worked to make the party a great success!
Make sure you make it down to the lodge oXen for
some old fashioned visi7ng .HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL
THERE!
Bye for now... see you soon.
December 17th was the WOTM 2nd mee7ng of the
month and aXer our mee7ng we had our Christmas
party which was lots of fun. We laughed, we ate, we
stole each others giXs and had a great 7me.
December 20th was the kid's Christmas party and it
was a huge success. Thanks to all that helped make it fun
for all our kids as they all had a great 7me topped off by
a special visit from Santa who presented each child with
a present.
Be sure to check your February newsleEer as I will
have informa7on regarding the upcoming spring conference which will be held in Klamath Falls the laEer part of
March.
As I close I want to wish you all a very Happy New
Year. Thanks to all our volunteers that make our Lodge/
Chapter successful. You really are appreciated.
Your Governor
Rick LeGore

ITS All ABOUT MEMBERSHIP

A new year is dawning and I am
sending best wishes for a great one to
all my Brothers and their families.
As we set out seeking a successful
new year, let’s take a moment to look
back on successes of 2014.
One of our best has to be community service. We have already thanked
those who par7cipated in the annual Relay for Life. We
also provided aid to the Adult Center, two scholarships to
local Seniors, and various dona7ons to local children’s
projects. However, our shining star must be the annual
Children’s Christmas party. Thanks to Winnie Anderson
and Don Phillips (who has a real in with Santa!). A job well
done!! Through generous dona7ons and a six month pop
can drive $2040 was raised. Each of the 51 children in
aEendance received a giX listed in his or her leEer to
Santa, delivered by the jolly old man himself. Of course
he had a couple of lively elves along to keep things organized. The Kapa Dancers were on hand to inspire and
delight us. On Christmas Eve we delivered food and toy
boxes to 3 needy families. In addi7on, each child in each
family received a new bicycle. When I ask “Why are you a
Moose?” this has to be one of the top reasons. We are so
proud of all our members who are so generous to support the fundraisers that help us be a part of Mooseheart/Moosehaven and our local community. Keep up
the good work Brothers!
Oh yes, by the way, keep those applica7ons rolling in.
Fraternally,
Ron Grace
Membership Chairman

Administrator’s Rambling
2015! We are off and running.
December proved to be a
month chock full of ac7vity. Food
boxes, Santa Clause, Christmas
Party for the kids, Lodge Christmas
dinner, New Years Eve, cake walks
and wonderful raffle baskets.
What a month! We have a great
bunch of volunteers in our lodge.
We have so many caring and generous people that offer
their 7me and talents to making our Lodge warm and
welcoming! Thanks to all who lent a hand with the many
ac7vi7es last month… The raffle baskets, once again,
were filled with tasty fruit and goodies, well worth the
price of a 7cket for a chance to win one. Did you win a
cake at the cake walk? Remember, someone probably
spent some 7me preparing that cake to donate to the
event. The Lodge Christmas meal was mighty tasty. Hope
you were able to stop by. Our cooks spent many hours in
the kitchen preparing and serving the tasty ham meal.
Did you stop in and catch a glimpse of the fun the kids
were having at the Christmas Party, hosted by the Women of the Moose? Did you know that the fund-raising for
that event spanned several months. Some long hours
were spent by organizer Winnie Anderson and Don ,
overseeing garage sales and turning in donated cans.
Remember…
VOLUNTEER OPPOURTUNINTIES ABOUND!
Please help us out whenever you can.
Come join the fun! Please share any ideas you may
have for an event or ac7vity. We are always open to
your sugges7ons.
Support your Lodge and aEend our scheduled func7ons, It'll be worth your 7me!
Wishing you a very happy and fulfilling New Year
2015.
Rick Reed,
Administrator
