A message To our members

GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE SENIOR REGENT’S

MESSAGE

Due to a few recent problems, I feel it necessary to repeat the rules regarding guests. Number one is PLEASE when you bring someone in, stop by the sign in book in the hall and sign them in. A pen not being available at the sign in area is not an excuse, as they can be signed in the Social Quarters if necessary. Remember even if you sign them in as your guest, they are guests and cannot purchase anything. By signing a person in, you are taking responsibility for their actions and conduct. They must leave when you do, I hope this clears up some misunderstandings. Till next time, Gary

Administrators Report

Hello,

I hope you all had a good New Year’s

Party and I hope all enjoyed the party at the

lodge and also the food and the music. I want

to say to the people in the kitchen for that night,

a really big THANK YOU for all the work!

I hope everyone had a good time at the

visit from our Supreme Governor, Rodney

Hammond and what an honor for our lodge for

him to visit us. Thank you to who attended the

event. Thank you all who helped in the kitchen

and making the event a complete success. So

let’s make the rest of the year as good as it

started.

Now for my Super moose this month.

Well this person has done a lot around here

and is one person who is a Super Moose inside

and out. My pick is Harry Goldberg Jr. aka

Skip. Skip has done a lot here and I can not

say enough about what he does for the lodge.

So to you Skip, THANK YOU!!

Frank Sturgeon

Hello February, So far the WOTM have donated 452 stuffed animals and Tommy Moose’s to lo-cal emergency services, but we’re not done yet, we still have departments in Yuba County that we haven’t given toys to. We are still taking donations for this endeavor. I want to thank all the members who have donated to this cause already. Our mem-bers are the greatest. We are now taking letters of intent for 2020-2021 WOTM Board Members. If you are interested in being Senior Regent, Junior Regent, Secretary Treasurer or Recorder, get your letter in ASAP. This month’s Special Moosette is Leona Spenger. You will see Leona working in the kitchen every taco Tuesday’s. She also helps at any function that she is asked to help with. What a great volunteer! Thank you Leona, for all your help. Get your tickets for the Valentines Dinner Dance it’s always a fun time. “Together, we’ll make a difference”.
