At Mooseheart:

Coach Klimczyk Leads Rambler Volleyballers



Cindy Klimczyk		 > The Mooseheart girls’ volleyball team got off to an enthusiastic start this fall under a new head coach—but one who many of the players already knew very well: Cindy Klimczyk, a 1999 Mooseheart High School alumna and a recent graduate of Loyola University.

A Mix of Remembrance, Relaxation on Illinois Day —September 11

> Illinois Day traditionally draws roughly 1,000 Moose men and women from throughout the state of Illinois on the second Saturday in September. This year, that fell on Saturday, Sept. 11, so the day’s activities were begun with a third-anniversary observance of respect for those who lost their lives during the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Gratitude for Hoosier Generosity

$860K renovation of residence dedicated Indiana Day, July 28

> Indiana Day, always the last Sunday in July at Mooseheart, brings roughly 1,000 Moose men, women and kids from the Hoosier state. This year, they were treated to the official opening of the newly renovated Indiana Home, completed at a cost of $860,000.



The Teen Club of Speedway, IN Lodge 500 appeared during the Indiana Day assembly in the Fieldhouse to present a $1,000 check.
