With Director Donald Ross in front, the attendees listen with enthusiasm to the presentations.

> It was another great session for the 2004 International Moose Legion Conference in Gatlinburg, TN, Oct. 27-31, 2004. Some 1,139 Legionnaires had a enjoyed a good old time during a “hillbilly”-themed weekend in the scenic east Tennessee, commonly known as the “Gateway to the Smoky Mountains.”

Volunteer Moose Legion 12 was a gracious host for four days of training, meetings, Ritual competition and fellowship for leaders and members of the Degree of Service.

Outgoing (in more ways than one!) Moose Legion Director Jim Fleming leads the way with fun and laughter during the “Hillbilly Banquet.” Fleming is now one of two Directors of the fraternity’s newly-formed Member Relations Department.		Seven new Moose Legionnaires were enrolled on Saturday, Oct. 30 during the conference. International Vice President Bob Neff and his wife Tammy enjoy dancing at the Hillbilly Hoedown Saturday night.
New Moose Legion Director Jim Morgan accepted the first paid-in-full commitment for the House of God project from Secretary Bob Willin of Manatee Moose Legion 58.		Moose Legion Ambassador Tim Cavanaugh from Kentucky made a grand entrance into the annual conference (after it had already started), wearing what he called his “official Kentucky attire.” Needless to say, everyone at the meeting was in stitches!
