ABERDEEN MOOSE 590

WOTM Membership

We want to welcome recent Women of the Moose members Deb Beckler, Maureen Cantwell,

Sylvia Hieb and Jamie Bruckner. If you have not received your new Moose membership card you

should receive it soon. We are glad to have you join us and help children in need, support our

community and take care of our seniors. Be sure you take advantage of your Moose Member

benefits. There are many hotel and insurance discounts, your free dinner the month of your

Birthday and more. Ask your family and friends to share your compassion for others and have a

great time at the Moose Lodge enjoying meals and events. From now until April 30th there is no

enrollment fee when you join the Women of the Moose. With annual dues of only $30 what you

save in Moose benefits will more than pay the dues. For joining you receive a free dinner up to

$8.50 for the month of your birthday, free appreciation dinner in January is a good start.

We also want those who continue their membership by paying their dues each year to know you

are helping many people in many ways. First you help the chapter to be able to continue the

medical scholarship program, funeral benefits, children's holiday parties, funds to donate to many

programs such as SADD, Aspire, Safe Harbor, Humane Society, the Children at Mooseheart and

our Seniors at Moosehaven.

In June Betty Hansen who was a member of the Women of the Moose for over 60 years passed

away. Our condolences to her family.

Just want to remind co-workers who are on Membership committee that our committee serves

bingo lunches in August. If you have a Thursday in August that you can make a dessert, provide

sandwich filling or help serve the lunch and want to call me before I call you call me at 229-1374.

Thanks

Mary Ann Schlosser , WOTM Membership Chairman

WOTM News

Hello! It’s hard to believe it’s already July! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. It’s

time for vacations, picnics, and just relaxing outside.

We’ve got our board installed and only need one more committee chair. Once again,

I’m asking for a volunteer for this committee. I understand we all have busy lives, but

the children at Mooseheart, and the seniors at Moosehaven need us. If anyone has

some extra time, please contact me or one of the other officers to volunteer. Thank

you. The Lodge is having a town hall meeting at 7pm on July 12. Therefore, our WOTM

meeting will be moved to 6pm instead of the usual time of 7. I would love to see a

large group of women attend the meeting. I’m making this a short article this month. I want to get outside and enjoy the beautiful

weather!

Jan Kearns, Sr Regent

Bingo continues every Thursday night at 6 PM. Doors open at 5:00 and at 5:30 we start selling

packets. For Moose Members who show their Moose card you will receive $2 off your packet.

There are two games for warm-up, two special games that pay $30, two 50/50 games that the

payout is determined by how many sheets are sold for those games. Let's Make a Deal game

each week where the one who bingos gets to choose $15 in Moose Bucks or what in the box.

Should there be more than one winner for the game they get Moose bucks. The box recently

has had a lounge chair, hanging plant, $30- $40 gift cards, it varies each week. Payout for the 20

regular session games is determined by the count of players when games #1 starts, which has

been from $25 to $30. The progressive pickle jar continues, bingo on the pickle jar number

during a regular game you also win the pickle jar in addition to the bingo amount. At the writing

of this article the pickle jar is at $259. In April and May bingo players could bring items for Safe Harbor in exchange for extra game

sheets. In July and August we are collecting school supplies for the Aberdeen School System.

Again, bingo players can receive extra games sheets for items they donate. Suggested items are: two pocket folders, wide line spiral notebooks, Elmer's glue, glue sticks, school boxes for pen-

cils etc. Moose members should also feel free to donate such items and even backpacks for the

schools. The membership special also continues, where if someone joins the Moose they will receive a

free bingo 4 pack and the sponsor will receive a free packet. Each month one of our bingo volunteers is picked to receive $10 in Moose Bucks. For May

Shirley Syhre is the volunteer of the month. Thank you Shirley and all the other bingo volun-

teers. If anyone else would like to help with bingo just let me know.

Hello fellow Lodge Brothers and Women of the Moose

Since I’ll be leaving by the end of the month, I thought I would start a little earlier putting my article together. So here

goes!

First off the Lodge is still very busy with all of our activities going on. The few Wednesday nights that I have been there

it sure seems like the horseshoe players have had great weather and are having lots of fun. I’m not sure who is leading

the way in the standings, but I’m sure everyone is competing hard and having a great time. Bingo is going great as we are

getting anywhere from 30-35 players a week. Mary Ann and her group are doing a super job in organizing the even-

ing. Every week they even get donations together for some worthwhile charity. Last month they collected items for

Safe Harbor and helped with items for the Salvation Army the two previous months. Thank you one and all for giving

and playing. Friday nights have slowed down some with the nice weather and all, but we are still getting a good crowd in

for a good meal cooked by Stacy or Tony and to play the Queen of Hearts. As of this writing the Queen of Hearts is

over $4,000.00! Let’s try and get that up over $10,000 again.

The second item I would like to bring up is helping out around the lodge. We are scheduling another “town hall meet-

ing” with the Men and Women on the 12th of July. I will not be present for that meeting, but I would like to just let you

know how I feel about these issues. I do realize that it is summer and everyone is so busy these days that a lot of times

family members just pass each other coming and going. We all have another family though and that’s our Moose fami-

ly. In the last few months since the last town hall meeting, the board of officers was given the task of turning our financ-

es around and getting us pointed in the right direction financially. We have done just that and I am proud to say that

Lodge 590 is doing a whole lot better in the pocket book now than we were just a few short months ago. We’re actual-

ly running in the “black” for the last 4-5 months. What a turnaround! A lot of people helped get us back on firm

ground, but the work isn’t done. We need help, whether it’s helping us clean up around the lodge, serving meals, or just

coming in and doing any odd jobs that come up. We need more help! I think I can speak for the other board members

in saying that we need a break and could sure use some help. Again, everyone is busy with summer activities, but the

board of officers would like a break also. So, please consider where you can help and let the board know you’re willing

to pitch in. As our past governor said in previous articles, “a burden heavy to one is borne lightly by many”. Please help

where you can.

Sometimes we get so busy with the day to day operations we forget to thank those that work so hard around the lodge.

So, please allow me this opportunity to pass out some much deserved thanks. Thank you to my fellow board members,

you guys have gone far above and beyond and truly deserve the gratitude of every member of the Aberdeen Moose

Family. So thank you Tim, Kelly, Doug, Bryan, George, Ron, Barry and Mike…you guys were the key to our success.

The Board of Officers does a lot, but there were many others that helped. So, thank you Mary Ann, Cindy, Deb, Amy,

Sharon and all the other ladies that help each Thursday evening with bingo; thank you Cindy and Moe for cleaning up the

jungle outside our front door; thank you Fran and George for cooking burritos and sharing your recipe with the lodge;

thank you Stacy and Tony for all your help in the kitchen; thank you to the Tuesday morning Coffee Club for your dona-

tions and help around the lodge; thank you to Mark for keeping our lawn mowed and looking good; thank you to those

that help with the legion breakfast; thank you to those that contribute by joining us for meals on Wednesday and Fri-

days; thank you to Shirley, Jimmy, Martina and all the others who provide moral support, advice, and anything else they

can do to help and thank you to the WOTM Officers and all the WOTM for your help and support. I’m sure there are

others I’ve forgotten to mention, so thank you to all that contributed to our success. Finally, I’d be remiss without

thanking my wife Tammy for putting up with me being at the lodge so often and for the times you helped waitress, clean,

and decorate…you truly are my Supergirl!

Last item that I would like to bring up is this will most likely be my last article that I write for the Booster. As I sit here

trying to keep my thoughts straight I can’t help but think about all of the great people that I have been so fortunate to

have met in my brief time here at the Lodge. I am truly blessed to have had such a fantastic opportunity to be part of a

great organization that has so many wonderful people. I wish I could personally thank each and every one of

you. Please give your next governor all the help you can and be sure to continue your great support to Mooseheart and

Moosehaven.
