Youth under 21 must leave at 10:00 pm I would like to start out this article by recognizing Joe Serwa for being presented the Past Supreme Governor award at the International convention in Tampa this year. Joe is a member of our lodge and has put a lot of time and energy into our Moose Fraternity. It was a pleasure to be there when a resolution was read by the Director General Bill Airey to present Joe with this top honor. Congratulations Joe on an award well earned. Speaking of conventions, several officers along with myself, will have attended our state convention at the end of August by the time this newsletter comes out. A report on this will be given at our first lodge membership meeting in September. Another event that will have happened will be our annual golf outing which was held on August 18 th. We have several events and functions that will be coming up in the next few months so watch for these in the calendar and on fliers placed around the lodge.

His is: coachkpc@hotmail.com Founder s Day is October 27, This is a busy day for the lodge with many visitors from many states seeing the Lodge Closest to the Heart. Our Halloween parties are also on that day, so any time you can volunteer that day would be helpful. Dinners will now be served in the social quarters on Friday night. As always, remember to clean up after yourself. I had a great time at the annual Golf outing. We raised some money for the Mooseheart children s Christmas party and enjoyed a fine meal cooked by our volunteer chefs. Thanks to everyone who worked and supported this event. Thank you to everyone who has supported our Lodge during the summer. As with everything else around us the Lodge is down in attendance and still has expenses to pay. Kelly Schacherbauer, Administrator Membership News Membership is vital to our lodge. Sign up friends, neighbors and family. The more people who are members, the more people support our twin cities, Mooseheart and Moosehaven. It also brings in new and fresh ideas for functions and a wealth of information and support of our lodge. As you sign members up remember there are many membership promotions currently running, so you have a chance of NEVER PAY YOUR DUES AGAIN! Our thoughts and prayers go to the families that have lost loved ones. Get Well Soon Pool League Returns in September Jack Parker - Governor To all those recovering from an illness or surgery.
