Moose Legion Messages

The Moose Legion Council had a very productive meeting on November 7, 2025. Changes to our Code of Rules submitted by Councilman J.C., and updated MLEC material submitted by Councilman Henry, was reviewed. The final version of each will be presented to the ML Council at our February 2026 meeting in Norfolk, VA. Our goal is to provide the MI Board of Directors copies for their approval.

Please continue with your efforts for a plus 1 in membership and retention.

God bless each of you and have a very Merry Christmas.

Recommendations for additional changes in the Code of Rules has now expired. The Moose Legion Council will review all received suggestions at our November 7, 2025 meeting.

October is Cradle Fundraiser and I’m looking forward to seeing all the Cradle’s posted in the lodges in Illinois and Oklahoma in my upcoming visits.

The September and October membership renewals are historically larger than other months. Please work your retention lists.

God bless each of you and have a wonderful Halloween.

I serve the ML Council as Chairman of the committee responsible for addressing Lodge Moose Legion Committees. I recommend to each Lodge to make this a “Fun Committee” where Moose Legionnaires gather and discuss ways to help the Lodge with membership and service to our communities.

Thanks to each jurisdiction that has already helped me with my President’s project goal this year, and to those jurisdictions who have future donations planned.

Reporting shows we are a little short of equaling membership numbers from the same time last year. Maybe it’s due to summer vacations or the hot July weather.  August will be hot also weather wise, however let’s heat up the membership in the Moose Legion by sponsoring new members and lowering our retention rate.

Let’s celebrate with a +1 at the end of August 2025 membership reporting.

It is also a great time to take advantage of the 10% discount by paying your assessed Annual Fundraising Projects by October 31, 2025.

Enjoy your vacations and stay Moose strong.

Friday July 4 will be a legal holiday where many Moose members will visit their lodge for a picnic or barbecue. Many may take advantage of the day off to support their lodge with membership building or retention efforts calling past due members. On this Independence Day let’s also continue our support for Mooseheart and Moosehaven.

God bless each of you and have a wonderful holiday

Well, another Moose year has come to a close. I believe we have had quite a year and accomplished many a goal, once again living up to our motto of “Doing some good thing for someone each day.” Isn’t it great to be a Proud Moose Legionnaire? My wife Noreen and I would like to thank everyone for their great hospitality and warm fellowship along our journeys this last year. With our Convention coming up at the end of the month, this will be my last message, and we are looking forward to seeing you all there. I believe that our meetings will be quite informative, and the time we get to spend on our beautiful Mooseheart campus will be an experience you will never forget. So, I will sign off with this – God Bless Mooseheart, God Bless Moosehaven, and may God Bless each and every one of you for what you do for our Fraternity each day.
