Moose Legion Messages

March Message from Ronny Serio

I don’t know about you, but I have had enough of Winter – come on, Spring! I need some time outside, as I am sure you do, too. As I look around the yard, I see a lot of clean-up that needs to be done. This brings to mind that the Lodge could probably use some attention, too, as do some of the parks and roadways in and around our communities. Community Service is a cornerstone of our Fraternity, and what a great way to show those in our communities that The Moose is so much more than just another watering hole. I have always believed that we draw new members to our cause more by what we do than by what we say. So, why not get a group of your fellow members and get out there and do some good thing for someone each day?

February Message from Ronny Serio

Well, the weather outside is a little less than desirable, but as Moose Legionnaires, we shall adapt and overcome. It is in this kind of weather where we need to remember our pledge to “do some good thing for someone each day.” We should be checking on our family, friends, and neighbors, especially those that are getting up there in years and should not be going out. As you are probably going out to the store, you might be able to save them a trip. We all know that with age comes a greater risk of catching some kind of bug. I am sure they will be forever grateful. I am sure this can’t last much longer, so stay safe. God Bless Mooseheart, God Bless Moosehaven, and God Bless each and every one of you.

January Message from Ronny Serio

I hope everyone had a great time during the holidays with family and friends. From what I have seen and heard, we as Moose did some amazing things, not only for our children at Mooseheart and our seniors at Moosehaven, but within the communities where we reside. It is truly more enjoyable to give than receive. It is all we do that makes me one PROUD Moose Legionnaire. There is no better feeling than “doing some good thing for someone each day.”

I believe in the Moose. I believe we truly make a difference. I believe in you, the finest, most generous people I know. We have a long and proud history, and a bright and plentiful future ahead of us. “Thank You” for all you do for the children, seniors, our communities, and all those that we do not even realize we have helped even in some small way. May God bless you and keep us steadfast in all our endeavors.

December Message from Ronny Serio

As I sit here thinking about what to say to such a fine group of Fraternalists, my eye catches all the decorations my lovely wife spent three days putting up, and I realize what a special time of year it is. I think back to when I was a child and how excited I was to see what Santa had brought and the expression on my little sister’s face whenever she opened a gift. Then there was the look of pure delight on my parents’ faces and they had not even opened a gift. These many years later, I know what they were feeling. Bringing joy into the world of our young is the best feeling of all. I would like to thank each and every one for all that you do for our children at Mooseheart and our seniors at Moosehaven, not only at this time of year, but for each and every day. I don’t think you realize just how important the time you spend volunteering and the money and items you donate play a part in helping so many. The joy of giving lives strong in you all.

I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all you have done and for what you are going to do in the future.

November Message from Ronny Serio

Let me apologize for being late with this, but I wanted to wait until after the International Moose Legion Conference in Valley Forge. What a time was had by all in attendance. It brought back many fond memories of the many conferences I have attended. The costume party was a great example of the creativity of Moose members; the fun and fellowship were just amazing. The dancing, laughing, and just plain tom foolery were good for the soul. We had a couple of meetings with some great information, bringing members up to date on where we currently stand, each ending with great question and answer sessions. Our Ritualists competed and, believe me, they were all winners. On Sunday, the staff from Sooner 147 showed just how impressive the conferral ceremony can be when done properly. We are halfway through the year, and I truly believe that we can make this year an even better year than last. Let’s make it 4 in a row. Thank you for all you do and from my home to yours, may you have the best Thanksgiving that you certainly deserve.
