THE GOVERNOR |
Dear Brothers and Co-Workers
Well I do hope that the snow is
gone completely now. During the month of February
we had to close our Lodge for a few days. The reason
behind this was for your safety as members and the
safety of our employees. If you ever need to find
out if the Lodge is closed please visit http://www.fredericksburg.com
and click on closing. We will be posting our closings
and cancellations on this site.
During these hard times, if any
member has problems with paying their dues, please
see our administrator or one of your Board of Officers
and we can work something out.
This month we will be holding nominations
for our Board Of Officers, if you are interested
in holding a position on the Board, fill out an
application (located behind the bar) and attend
1 of the 3 meeting that are being held the first
3 Wednesday of this month(3/3, 3/10/and 3/17).
I will have a summary of how the
lodge is doing on the Premiere Award in my next
newsletter
Until
then
Thank you,
Kim Denniston
Governor

Brothers,
February is history
and hopefully so is the snow. How’s that “Global
Warming” working for you? Naturally, I broke
my favorite snow shovel and there was no way you
could buy another one. Soon the mountains of ice
that remain will be gone and the storms just a memory.
The
Moose year is getting short and soon we will elect
new officers to our board. Before the elections
we have the nominating process. Now is your chance
to become more involved with your Lodge. If you
would like to be considered for election to the
board you need to submit your name to the Nominating
Committee. Forms are available behind the bar in
the Social Quarters. Just complete the form and
hand it back in an envelope to the bartender on
duty. Expect to be interviewed by the committee.
The committee will meet on the first three Wednesdays
this month. You only need to be available for one
of the meetings. Think about it.
Keeping the “F” in Moose

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!
Mark
your calendars for the annual WOTM St. Patrick’s
Day Dance on March 13, 2010. Music played by Borrowed
Time. See enclosed flyer for more information.
If
your membership dues are expiring at the end of
the month you may want to pay in the early part
of the month because it does take a little time
to get your new card. If you are having difficulty
with paying your dues and do not want to drop your
membership please contact the WOTM Board of Officers
for assistance. We may be able to help. Please understand
that once your dues are expired and you do not renew
your membership you cannot be signed in as a guest
at anytime or by anyone for two years. Please consider
renewing your dues so that this does not happen.

| FELLOWS
& PILGRIMS |
This month’s message will pretty much
echo my article last month. Hopefully, you
Fellows and Pilgrims will have received an
invitation to join us on Friday night, March
5th for Steak Night in the rear of the Hall.
This event is intended to get us all together
(as many as possible) due to the fact we weren’t
able to do so around the Christmas holidays.
We will have a social hour beginning at 5:00
p.m. with dinner to start at 6:00 p.m. The
committee will supply the Moose Milk and drinks
of choice. However, please be advised that
we will all pay for our own dinners. Our committee
is somewhat short of funds this year just
like most others are. I hope you will be understanding
and join us in some fun anyway. We will pick
up the tab for the drinks and the tip for
the waiting staff. When you receive your invitation
from Bob Guest, please RSVP so that he will
know how much food to order. I look forward
to seeing as many of you there as possible.
Thank you to those that helped
with the ragtag breakfast on Valentine’s
Day. Your help is always most appreciated.
Until next month, have fun, be careful, and
God bless everyone.

| MEMBERSHIP |
Brothers,
Thanks to your efforts we are still #1 in
the state and are #14 internationally! At
this writing we are 12 members short of achieving
our 1st membership quota of the year. I know
that each of you has this someone in mind
to sign up, so please take this opportunity
to sign them up and help us to surpass the
first quota and to help the lodge attain our
annual achievement awards from the state and
international level. Only twice has the lodge
not been awarded the merit award since its
inception and now has been renamed as the
lodge achievement awards just two years ago.
So please help our Governor and our lodge
by continuing to sign members. Just because
we reach a quota doesn't mean you stop signing
members. We need as many members as we can
get.
I
would like to express my extreme displeasure
at whoever stole our membership status board.
There is no reason for you to remove it from
the wall or the premises. If you have a discrepancy
with the totals, then see either Bob Guest
or myself and hopefully we can resolve the
issue. You have now created hours of work
for us to create a new board and retrace our
records. Some records may have to be sent
from Chicago. The board had not been updated
for January yet and now we have to recreate
the entire past year. Whoever removed this
board should be ashamed of themselves.
Hope all of you are being safe during our
snow emergencies. Please remember as you leave
the lodge at night to be careful as that melting
snow during the day becomes black ice at night;
treacherous to walk on and even more dangerous
to drive on. Don't know about you but I've
had my fill of snow for the year. Come on
spring so we can ride without getting crud
all over the bike or sandblasted from the
sand and salt!
Thanks
for all you do.
God
bless Mooseheart and Moosehaven,
Sam Thomas
Membership Chairman

BOX DERBY NEWS |
Brothers and Co-workers,
Well it’s almost that time again for
the Local Race here in Fredericksburg, so
the crunch is on. We as a Committee has to
thank all who have been Loyal Supporters to
our endeavors with there support of our dinners
and raffles. Also we have to thank Don and
Ally Nails for their donation last month to
us. It will be put to good use. We will be
continuing doing our Steak and Shrimp on the
4th Friday of every other month, also our
Shrimp and Crab Leg night on the last Wednesday
of each month. We will be adding a Dinner
starting the 3rd Saturday of March and it
will run every month. The Dinner will be an
All You Can Eat Spaghetti Dinner. It will
be Eddies World Famous Spaghetti. So those
of you that really enjoyed the Wednesday night
Spaghetti dinners it will be the same, SO
COME ON OUT!!!
Just
to let you all know where the money goes we
raise from our dinners and raffles, it cost
us about $600.00 a year in entry fee's to
just race in the Local race, when we rally
it cost us right at $1000.00 a weekend if
all the kids race. We run in about 5 rally
races a year. Myself and the parents pay for
our own hotel rooms and meals. We spend on
an average of $1500.00 a year in parts. It
cost us in paint when we repaint a car and
letter it right at $500.00 a car. We also
have to pay the up keep on the trailer and
the taxes and that about $200.00 a year. That’s
why we do all the dinners and raffles at the
lodge that we do; it all goes for the kids.
Last
year we had a good turn out of Lodge members
at the Local Race in Fredericksburg, However
I would like to see that number grow for 2010.
The race is on June 12 down town on William
St. Fredericksburg should be the largest Race
in the Country again this year. Last year
we lost out to Culpepper by 2 cars but those
2 cars will be back in Fredericksburg this
year. How do I know that? It’s because
we had 3 cars race in Culpeper Local last
year and 2 of the 3 will be in Fredericksburg
this year. Believe me I have not lived it
down from the Fredericksburg Race Director
yet!!!
Ok
Guys and Ladies I'm putting out the challenge
to all of you members to help us make this
year we will never forget! We need your Help
Please Support our committee Dinners and raffles,
just like you always have!!! We are working
hard to make this year the best that we have
had.
I
just hope we can send several kids and cars
to Akron this year to the World Championships!!!
Thank You,
Kyle Danielson
