FYI

Just a reminder to have your articles for the newsletter to the Lodge by the 15th of the month. You can email your information to the

Lodge (lodge705@mooseunits.org or becky.keech@yahoo.com), or leave a message at the lodge 231-832-2561.

Due to incorrect information being posted regarding events, I will not be putting anything in the newsletter unless I hear from the chair person. Thank you for your understanding. Becky

We are going paperless! How many times have you heard that lately? Well, we would also like to go pa-

perless with our newsletter. This will save the lodge about $250.00 a month and in these times who

doesn't need save money. We are finding many Lodges are not sending newsletters at all or only sending

them every other month, with the members who want to receive them paying per year. With all the social

media and so many of us using Facebook it just makes sense. The newsletter can also be viewed on the

Michigan Moose website (mimoose.org/lodge/newsletters). We are not seeing an increase in participation

to events by sending out a newsletter, it just doesn't seem very cost effective anymore.

We would like your feed back please.

And while you are at it please update your information! We have many incorrect addresses, phone num-

bers and email addresses in our system. If your not getting your news letter check with the Lodge to up-

date your information. You can call and leave a message – 231-832-2561 or email us at

lodge705@mooseunits.org

Our newsletter is also available at the Michigan Moose website as well.
