2 2 Moose Family Center No L.O.O.M. Lodge No W.O.T.M. Chapter No Clay Street, Woodstock, IL Office Phone: Lodge Phone: Moose Call: Website: Governors Message February has arrived and it s amazing that we are just a few months away from the close of the moose year. Wow! Where has the time gone? I did want to take a moment to thank those who signed members over the past few months. Introducing your friends and family to this great fraternity of ours is a good thing. Members pulled together and our membership numbers are rising, while more and more people are learning about the benefits of being a Moose Member. I had a chance to meet a number of new members at some of our recent events, and they all seemed to be having a great time. I hope every member will continue to share our story with their friends and family. Every member we sign helps our children at Mooseheart and our seniors at Moosehaven. It helps our lodge keep the activities going, and it introduces so many other families to our many friends, brothers and sisters of the Moose fraternity. I also wanted to ask those LOOM members of our lodge to seriously consider running for a position on the board, chairing a committee, or volunteering on a committee. Elections are just around the corner and there are many places where your support is welcomed and needed. Please consider one of these positions in the future. Remember - The Time is Now! Randy Tipps, Governor decide if you want to be part of the decision making events for our lodge. The lodge needs dedicated people to help run the lodge for the ensuing year, great progress has been made by this lodge over the years and a better way to be an intimate part of that process is to be on the board of officers for The improvements in this lodge have been great but more needs to be done as we head into the future of moosedom. Looking forward to the upcoming years we are sure to see the further combination of both LOOM and WOTM boards as great strides can be accomplished in joining of forces. What does it take to be a board of officer? The question is surely asked by all members with the busy lives that we lead, the obvious answer is dedication. If you are considering a board position you must realize that a portion of your time will be dedicated to the lodge, how much you dedicate is up to you. The more time you allocate to the lodge the more satisfying your adventure of being a board officer can be. There are several meetings a month for both men and women s boards along with a joint meeting of both boards. Being a board of officer gives you the opportunity to make changes and be part of the decision making process of the lodges future keeping our lodge growing and prospering through out the years. Begin your journey today by asking to be nominated to one of our boards the nominations begin in February. Fraternally Yours, R. H. Sweeney, Administrator From the Desk of the Administrator With the elections for the LOOM and the WOTM board of officers coming up in April it s time for all members to W.O.T.M. We would like to welcome new members Teri Holms and Nadine Krause into our Chapter.

LOOM Nominating Committee Meetings Begin Every lodge is required by the Constitution and General Laws to hold an election of officers in April each year. Every lodge is incorporated and required to have corporate officers. The corporate officers: President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer are the elected Governor, Junior Governor, Administrator and Treasurer, respectfully. The election of officers is important because lodge members are simultaneously electing both the fraternal and corporate officers of the lodge. No later than the last membership floor meeting in February, a nominating committee must be chosen. The nominating committee will hold three meetings on, March 3rd, March 10th, and March 17th at 5:45pm. If you wish to run for an office and I hope you do, please take a moment to read the nominating qualifications posted in the Lodge, or ask a current officer for more information. If you decide to run for an office, fill out the nomination form in this newsletter or posted in the lodge, to a current officer of the lodge. You also want to be at the lodge for the nominating committee meeting as well when that officer turns in your name for nomination. Only lodge members whose dues are paid and in good standing may be considered for elective office. To be an elected officer of a lodge, the officer must be a member of that lodge. The offices of Treasurer and Trustee only require that the member be in good standing at the time of the Nominating Committee report. A member is not eligible for the office of Governor, Junior Governor or Prelate unless his membership in the lodge in which he seeks office equals or exceeds six (6) months preceding the date of the election. (This does not apply to a newly instituted lodge.) A member must have served at least one(1) term [twelve (12) full months] in another elective office [not a combination of one (1) year in elective offices] of the lodge in which he seeks office before his name may be placed in nomination for the office of Governor. No elected officer shall be eligible to serve more than two (2) consecutive terms in any one (1) office unless a dispensation is obtained from the General Governor. We Need You!

Peg Stock, Chair Benefit for Fellow Moose Member On Saturday, February 26th, we are having a benefit for my sister-in-law, Sue McEnaney. She had surgery last spring for a blockage in her intestine. Needless to say she had a mass which resulted in her spending the entire summer doing chemo treatments. After a waiting period, she returned to her doctor and the diagnosis wasn t what we had hoped for. Although they have health insurance, they have astronomical medical bills. She is back having more chemo treatments, because the first round didn t do the job. Sue and Terry are fellow Moose members from Harvard and I wanted to have the benefit with my Moose Family in Woodstock, after all, we are all Moose family, no matter the location we are members from. I would like to ask you to join us on the February 26th for a dinner of Roast Beef and Broasted Chicken. Doors open at 5:00pm and dinner will be served at 6:00pm.
