Thanks to the success of our Bike Rally / Poker Run and Adult

$2,500 for St. Jude’s Hospital. “The lodge was able to raise

money for a very worthy cause that is

dear to our heart. We are so thankful to

everyone who participated and volun-

teered their time to make this possi-

ble,” said Ron Bergquist, Jr., the Ad-

ministrator of the Greeneville Lodge.

Avery Armstrong, an 11-year-old, was

diagnosed with leukemia at the age of

On November 16, 2018, the Greeneville Moose Lodge was honored to host Supreme

Governor, Harry Johnston. During his visit, he presented retired Greeneville Police

Department detective, Stewart Kilgore, with a check for the Shop with a Cop

program. The money was raised through donations made by the WOTM Chapter

1598 and LOOM 692 members. This annual event helps disadvantaged children by

pairing them uniformed officers for an all expense paid shopping trip to Wal-Mart.

The children are referred to the program through schools, churches and other civic

programs in the community. Over 500 children participate each year.

John Frost was honored with a Valued Veterans Certificate of Appreciation and pin

from Supreme Governor, Harry Johnston. “I joined the Valued Veterans program

after a WOTM member suggested I do so, and I am very grateful to be a part of this

program,” said Mr. Frost. After the ceremony, John enjoyed a complimentary

dinner in the company of the LOOM officers. He has been a Moose member since

1995 and is a Vietnam War Veteran.

The Supreme Governor was accompanied to the Greeneville Lodge by Deputy Supreme Governor Daniel

Humphreys, Deputy Supreme Governor James Caraway, Territory Manager Roy Pollitt, TMA Jr. Past President

Larry Owens, and Moose Legion Ambassador Kenny Olaker. Greeneville Moose Lodge Governor Louie Boyle,

Administrator Ron Bergquist, Jr., LOOM officers, and WOTM #1598 officers were there to greet the Supreme

Governor and take part in the presentations. During their time at the Greeneville Lodge, the group enjoyed a

wonderful dinner in the dining room. After their dinner, the group stayed and enjoyed a fun night of karaoke in

the Social Quarters.

Thank You! To everyone that contributed their time on November 19th to decorate our Moose Family Center for the Christmas holiday

season. You did a truly outstanding job. Your help would be greatly

appreciated in January (date to be announced ) to take the decorations down. You’re the best!

TRUNK OR TREAT

Our 2nd Trunk or Treat was a success this year. We had about 150 kid’s that came by. Thank you to all the volunteers that helped.

The Supreme Governor was on hand to see the food collected for

the Boy Scouts Scouting for Food program. The boy scouts drop

off the food at the Greeneville-Greene County Community

Ministries Food Bank. “The week counts as one of the largest

donations of the year and provides assistance to hundreds of

families during the hardest months of the year,” said Brandon

Chapman of Troop 92. Annually, this food collection drive collects

more than 200,000 cans of food

for people in need. “Citizenship

is something we strongly teach in

the scouting program. We teach

our youth the importance of

taking pride and giving back to

their communities,” said Lashea

Rhodes of Troop 95. This is

another reminder to our local

communities that the Scouts are

here, doing good turns.
