Orlando 766/1002 Raises $3,100 with Snoozin’ Moose--
Then Makes Good Use of Them
Ava Caldwell isn’t a Moose yet, though he’s comfortingly surrounded by them not only in his crib, but also in his life. The two plush moose on either side of him are an indication of the kind of love for kids that members of Orlando Family Center 766 demonstrate. Members raised $3,100 through an auction for the two Snoozin’ Moose, which snore when a button is pushed. The auction of the moose was part of the ongoing Gimme Five initiative of Moose Charities, a plan to ensure the future of Mooseheart and Moosehaven. Ava’s parents, Nicole and Nick Caldwell, are members of Family Center 766. Asa’s grandparents are Kimberly Millwater of Orlando Chapter 1002 and Eddie Millwater, a Pilgrim, member of Orlando Lodge 766 and a Past President of the Florida-Bermuda Moose Association.

Whitehouse-Waterville OH Lodge 2537 wanted to promote family unity with its 2007 version of its annual fishing derby, and they succeeded! Above, awards presenter John Tilton with the many award winners on what the Lodge reports was “a great day!” The event, which was free to participants, is named after Bill McGilvery, the former chairman of the Kids’ Fishing Derby. McGilvery died in 2005, and the tournament was renamed in his memory.

While much of the U.S. suffered through periods of drought in 2007, the Pacific Northwest experienced drenching rains in November. The rains set records for downfall within a short period of time and set off a series of mudslides and widespread flooding. Above is the Chehalis, WA Lodge 1109 building, which is also home to WOTM Chapter 250. The building sustained about $300,000 in damage from the floodwaters, but the waters did not damage the structure of the building. The good news is that the Lodge expected to be back fully-operational by the end of January.

To say Goldendale, WA Lodge Center 2667--a Moose Service Center--hit the ground running after its institution last fall would be a massive understatement.
The Service Center was chartered on Nov. 17, as was its accompanying Women of the Moose Chapter 2369.
Members and Co-Workers from seven Washington-state Lodges traveled for the institution, as did several Washington-Northern Idaho Moose Association board members.
What the visitors saw was a Lodge that wanted to get right to the business of having a positive impact within its community.
Immediately after the officers for both Lodge and Chapter were installed, members began their first community service project.
The Dalles, WA Chapter 1494 Co-Worker Kathy Poe and her husband Elvan saw their dream house destroyed following a propane explosion. Both Kathy and Elvan, who was in the process of joining the Moose, were seriously injured in the explosion and subsequent fire.
Lodge 2667 and Chapter 2369 are currently raising funds to help with their considerable expenses.

Yarmouth, MA Residents Have Friends To Enjoy Thanksgiving Dinner With – the Moose!
|
|

Thanksgiving is the day our nation sits down to millions of family meals.
But not everyone has a family to cook for or a family to cook for them.
In South Yarmouth, MA, Lodge 2270 fed 92 people at their Family Center and sent 21 more dinners home to those unable to leave their homes to attend the dinner.
As Lodge Administrator Donald “Sully” Sullivan told his local newspaper, community service, “is what we’re here for.”
Dinner included all the traditional Thanksgiving fixings – turkey, mashed potatoes, vegetables. And for those with some room left over, there was plenty of pie for dessert.
