Hello From John! What a busy schedule we have here at the Moose Lodge over the next couple of months so be sure to check the bulletins for upcoming events! There will be Christmas parties, Thanksgiving meals to cook, and News Years Eve Celebrations. And there are always all of our regular daily activities, so when you are tired and don’t want to cook and

clean during these busy months – COME ON DOWN AND LET US DO THE COOKING AND CLEANING FOR YOU! November 3rd began our Membership Retention Week and together with the Women of the Moose we Thank You! For renewing. We hope you enjoyed the daily GIVE-A-WAYS. This weeklong campaign concluded on Saturday, November 9th with our own MOOSE APPRECIATION DAY!FREE – hamburgers and fries were given to any member showing a paid dues receipt. That all being said, I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to all of you who come down and support YOUR Lodge. However, there are a few special people who deserve special thanks. First, let me extend a HUGE THANK YOU to the Women of the Moose! They always seem to be around to lend a helping hand whenever and wherever there seems to be a need for anything – from cooking to cleaning and everything in between. Secondly, let me thank the Moose Legion members for all they do. Have you come through the NEW backdoor? Did you notice the NEW sewer line? If you did – thank a Moose Legion member.

There are also a few individuals I would like to individually thank: Ron Pop & Genise Gonzalez - it seems if there is a need for a cook or hostess they can always be counted on! Cameron & Donna MacNair – Need I say more about those two! Thank you to Jim & Corky Haws too, they have been cooking the Legion dinners for the last couple years and Corky was inspirational in organizing our Membership Retention Week drive. There are too many people to thank individually so to all of you – please accept my sincerest appreciation for all you do for your lodge. Celebrate the Holidays at out Social Quarters. Thanks to Marimichael and Her UNMATCHED Social Quarters Crew: Janine, Caroline, and Runa.All of our volunteers and members are THE BEST! Well hope to see you all soon. Fraternally,

John Garcia, Governor
