New Electronic Edition of Newsletter Seminar; Moose Legion Completes House of God Roof Fundraising Early


Kurt Wehrmeister
Director of Publications

> Publications Director Kurt Wehrmeister began his seminar Monday with exciting news for anyone looking to improve their newsletters: an Electronic Interactive Edition of the Moose Publication Seminar.

Wehrmeister reminded attendees that the seminar was being displayed at the Publications booth throughout the convention.

The electronic seminar features many useful tips on how to create a clear, readable newsletter which members will keep as a valuable resource to learn what is happening at their local Lodge or Chapter.

The tutorial is available for download, free of charge, on the Publications Department portion of the Members Only side of www.mooseintl.org.

Wehrmeister also announced the winners of the 2005 Moose Journalism Awards, which recognizes the best editing and writing of newsletters covering the Moose Fraternity, and for the first time ever—the best creativity in Moose websites for Lodges, Chapters and Associations.

The original objective was to raise this amount in two years, but the Legion did it in 8 months! The Legion has now accepted the challenge of raising $150,000 for the restoration of the Campanile Bell Tower, originally constructed in 1922 (pictured to right).
