Governor’s Message

GRASS VALLEY MOOSE NEWS NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2011

Jay Jacobsen Governor

The Home Legion meeting was moved up a week in November due to another schedule conflict. And don’t forget our eggnog special on Christmas Eve and the New Years Eve dinner and party serving a prime rib dinner.

There have been a few administrative changes that went into effect. First, the House Committee has established a new RV policy so look for the details in the newsletter. Moose International has raised the per capita charge for membership to the point where we have no other choice but to raise the LOOM dues by $10. The proposal was made at the General meeting in October and the vote carried. The effective date of the increase will be February 1, 2012.

On a brighter note, by the time the newsletter reaches your mailbox, the Lodge and Chapter will have a website. On this site you can get the most current information about events going on at the Lodge, plus a copy of the calendars, the current newsletters and more. Check it out at: www.grassvalleymoose.org

In closing, I would like to wish all a very happy holiday season. And as always I would like to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me with your ideas, complaints, or suggestions. I can be reached at (530) 477-5003, or by email at [email protected].

Jay Jacobsen Governor

September and October are now behind us. We had a lot of great activi-ties, with the fish fry, the Labor Day potluck, Oktoberfest, the Moose Riders 4th annual fundraiser, the Mystery Dinner and the Halloween parties. These events could not be accomplished without the many volunteers that donated their time, food and funds.

I would like to personally thank the following people for their efforts: for Labor Day -Walt and Illa Meek for donating the 40 pounds of chicken for Labor Day; for Oktoberfest - Kathy McCammon for the German Potato Salad, Nita Jacobsen for the Apple Strudel, Candy Elliott for the Bakery Goods, Bev Freeman for cooking, Dan Wiles for his donation of the Beer tents and bounce house, and our German Beer maiden, Gretchen, aka Joni Cadwallader. Additionally, thanks also to Mike Elliott who always pitches in even when he is not feeling well. I realize that I may have missed a few and I am sorry for that. We all know who the real volunteers are and we really appreciate everything you do.

We have a lot of events coming up in November and December so be sure to check the calendars and happenings pages for details. In October we started serving spaghetti dinners on Thursday from 5-7 p.m., and they will continue through the end of the year. Our Thanksgiving dinner has been moved to Friday this year due to a conflict with the Legion’s Golden Ball.

Let’s increase membership ladies, we’ll have more; People to play with, Lifelong friends, second homes for our extended family in this great family fraternity! And of course, more farkle players and someone else to do the dishes and decorate! (ha, ha)

With all the fundraisers this holiday season, don’t forget we need and want your help. We have Thanksgiving and Christmas bas-kets to fill (donation box for food in Social Quarters).

We are looking for volunteers for our:

I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am to all of the women who continue to support me and the Lodge. What was seen at L. O. P. on October 10th was truly an inspira-tion of what we are about (TEAM WORK). I am proud to be a WOTM. Thank you Cindi Hermosa for your generous donation.

At the time of this publication, the date for the WOTM annual Christmas Party and $10 gift exchange is still being “firmed” up. Please watch for flyers at the Lodge or contact the Chapter for the actual date.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving, Christmas and Happy New Year.

that we welcome new members with open arms. If you see someone that you don’t know introduce your-self to them. Just think about it. Have you ever gone to new place where you didn’t know anyone and no one spoke to you? Did you feel out of place and want to get out of that place at the first opportunity? Don’t allow our new members to have that same feeling. Make them welcomed; and, they will stay!

From the Administrator

words, it’s time to get involved!

We are doing great on recruiting so far this year. Bobby Anderson, Walt Meek, David Dean, Ted Bivert, Rick Dandridge, and Jim Abbott have had their dues paid for next year by just recruiting two new members into our Great Fraternity. While we are doing great on recruiting, we are not doing so great at membership retention. It is sad to see new members join our Moose Fraternity, and then not renew their membership. It is up to us

Where has this

year gone? It is alarming to me that we are already coming into the Holiday Season. Yep, our Turkey dinner, our gift baskets, our Eggnog Party, our Christmas Parties; and, then our New Year’s Celebration. This is also the time of year when we need your help more than ever. It really takes a lot of time and effort to put on all these functions. We will need your help in cooking, dish-washing, serving, cleaning (our Lodge and grounds), setting tables, maintenance, and perhaps, Chairing these functions and events. In other

We are not always one big happy family but we need to keep striving to be our best for the good of our Lodge. For a burden heavy to one is born lightly by many.

These are not just words but an ideal we must live by. We all have our special talents and we must figure out how to use all of them. This year can be the best ever if

we all put our hearts and souls into our Lodge. What can you do for our Lodge and what would you like to put your mark on?

To the many members we see at the Lodge throughout the year, Thank You for your

invaluable support. To members who don't make it out as often, maybe you would

make a simple resolution to stop at the Lodge on one more occasion. Come out for our

breakfast, hit one of Friday Night Dinners or stop in one night for a drink in the social

quarters. Your extra visit means so much to our success.
