Moose Legionnaires’ ‘Down-Home’ Conference Weekend
‘Hatfield/McCoy’ Theme Sets Tone for Enthusiastic West Virginia Weekend
International Moose Legion President Bob Neff welcomed Legionnaires from across the country to the annual gathering of leaders of the Degree of Service.
> From all reports, it was another great gathering for the 2005 International Moose Legion Conference, held in Charleston, WV Nov. 2-5, 2005. More than 1,000 Moose Legionnaires enjoyed a “Hatfields-vs.-McCoys” themed weekend in the beautiful state of West Virginia.
Kanawha Valley Moose Legion 123 served as the gracious host for the 39th annual event, which, as always, included four days of training meetings, Ritual competition and fellowship for the members of the Degree of Service.
Proud Moose Legion leaders attended meetings during the three-day conference, most of them wearing the distinctive regalia of the Degree of Service.
