August 18 French Dip and sides August 25 Fish and Chips Supporting veterans is something that has always been important to the Moose. So, it is no surprise that our newest initiative, the Valued Veterans program, has drawn so much interest from members, lodges and chapters. The focus of this program is on the recognition and support of Moose veterans with an emphasis on their ongoing service to their fraternal units and communities through the Moose. The program s tag phrase captures this well: Moose Members Serving Then... and NOW! This approach simultaneously honors our veterans while also highlighting the Fraternity s commitment to community service. See www.mooseintl.org for more information.
