Loyal Order of Moose

Chairman of the Board

A Note from the Chairman of the Board

During my travels, I have found that our members are very kind and courteous. Our members have not only shown this kindness to my wife and myself, but also to each other. As I walk around the lodges, I observe our members interacting with one another demonstrating genuine compassion and care.

This same compassion extends into our communities through the efforts of our Moose Members. I have witnessed many different organizations being supported by our lodges and chapters. Trust me when I say we are leaving a positive and lasting impact through our actions. Our gift of kindness proves that we are “Moving Forward and Giving Back.”

As we approach the Holidays let us not forget about those who are less fortunate than ourselves. I ask that lodges and chapters invite the First Responders and their families to share a meal with us if they are working during the Holidays. What a meaningful way to show them and our communities that we care.

As I mentioned in Milwaukee, “The moose uses its size and strength not to dominate. but to protect.” Our members have embraced this mission and are donating to protect those who are Mentally and Physically challenged, with our new mission: “Uniting Hearts; Expanding Horizons.” The positive response from our members melts my heart, knowing that our members believe in it.

Let us continue to demonstrate our presence in our community with a positive impact!!!!!!
