3 FROM THE GOVERNOR S DESK Here we are in October already. This year is flying by! For all of you members with little ones, we will be having a Halloween breakfast and Halloween party for the kids on Sunday, October 26th. Any child 12 and under in costume eats for free. There will be prizes given away for best costume and lots of goodies. There will be a sign up list at the bar a couple weeks before the party. Please make sure you place the name and age of each child that will be attending to the list so that we have enough goodies for everyone. Adults will need to pay $5.00 if they want something to eat. Speaking of the adults, we will be having an adult Halloween party on October 25th. Prizes will be awarded for the costumes. Many of you know we just came back from the Annual Convention in Reno. We had a great time there learning more about Mooseheart and Moosehaven and brought back information to our members as to why we as Moose members do what we do.
