ADMINISTRATOR S MESSAGE: by Dan O Neal Greetings All, As we approach the end of our Moose Year in April, we need your help. Our application production has fallen woefully short of expectations this year. Last year we had 132 applications vs only 68 this year. Naturally, the total number of members on the rolls is also down drastically. We began the year with 925 and thru Feb 2 nd had only 816 for a loss of 109! When we signed the obligation of membership we promised to strengthen our ranks by sponsoring members. Since May 1 st only 44 members have sponsored a male member and seventeen of those sponsors are women. Let s do the math.27 out of 925 male members who sponsored that s only 2.92%!! Surely we can do better, please consider asking a friend or family member to join with us. Thanks in advance, Fraternally, Dan O'Neal Check out the Special Rates to become a Moose Member Membership is really a bargain, especially when you consider all of the benefits of being a member For only $45 per man s application, you can sponsor your Brother, Dad, and all your buddies. This includes new and re-enrollments. SHARE YOUR LODGE WOTM application fees are now being waived until April 30, 2019. Join now for only $35 per year. Remember, men can now sign up women, and women can sign up men. Talk to all of your family & friends... 4 FROM THE KITCHEN By Karen Collins Welcome to 2019.

Well, we started up this new pool session with 6 teams, up from the previous session of 4 teams. That s nice, real nice! This is a fun league and everyone is liking it! The important thing to remember is what was said before: What a Concept: - Play pool and win money. We are playing 14 weeks and are in our 6 th week. The next session will be staring in April and if you are interested in playing, look for signup sheets and details on the Lodge bulletin board in March. We are also working on scheduling a Jack & Jill pool tournament either in March or April. Flyers and posters will be announcing the date when we get a firm one. The Chili Cook-off on February 2 was a great success with 12 entries. Bill Hoyt won first place, Lee Atkins 2 nd, and Dan Wark 3 rd. There were lots of sides. We also had a Blind Draw for our pool players. Everyone had a great time. Thanks to Danny Keel, John Boruch, & Bill and Donna Hoyt for putting up the decorations and handling the whole day.

Governor s Message By Danny Keel Hello Everyone! By the time you read this, the ball room should be almost completed. As of this writing the ceiling and the floor have been removed, the walls have a new fresh layer of sheetrock, and the curtain that closes off the back half of the ballroom has been removed and replaced with a wall and 4 sets of French doors. The main bar has been replaced. That means, LOL, we have built OUR WALL! When completed we will have a brand new ballroom, one that we can all be proud of. Check out some of the progress pictures on the adjacent page. We really appreciate your patience with this project, and know you won t be disappointed. Because of you, our loyal members, we have scheduled Sunday, March 10th to celebrate our new room. We will have a Membership Appreciation day to dedicate the new room. Each one of you will get a free dinner, 2 free drinks, plus free entertainment. This will be one of the biggest days in the history of our Lodge. We will have door prizes and do a 50/50, and we will have other surprises in store!! So save the date, mark your calendars, come out and enjoy the festivities of presenting our new Ball Room to all of you. Look for new details on a donation drive so we can renovate our social quarters. We will go over the details at the membership party. Here s a sneak peek at our progress!
