Recently, we have had the pleasure of doing a couple
of different things at the Lodge. We were asked by
Governor Wayne (via George Moore) about doing the
Friday night Fish Dinner. We were happy to oblige
and appreciated the opportunity to become active.
So, we got together, put on our aprons, pulled up
our sleeves and started cooking. The Friday night
Fish Dinner went off without a hitch. Then Bob Tally
asked us if we would be interested in doing the Sunday,
August 1st, breakfast (all of the usual workers were
at the convention in Richmond). Again, we agreed.
That too, went very well. (We are just such a talented
bunch. Personally, I‘ve never had so much fun
in the kitchen.)
We are growing quickly in size and are currently
in the process of having an official election to fill
the positions necessary to be an efficient and beneficial
committee. That meeting will be held on September
5 at 11:00 am at the Lodge. If anyone is interested
in filling any of the positions or would like to nominate
someone for a position, please attend. Currently,
we are looking for three trustees, two treasurers
(not within the same household), and a secretary.
Elected officials will be posted on the MOB bulletin
board in the Lodge along with contact information.
For the time being, points of contact for the MOB
are:
Krista Breuninger - 540-455-3922 or pinky1@adelphia.net
Tad Bliss - 540-379-9243 or foghorn058@aol.com
Janie Mason - 540-455-6558 or perfectx2@aol.com
Consecutive MOB meetings are held the first Sunday
of every month at 11:00 a.m. We would like to see
more of our registered members attend the meetings.
Interesting and great things are happening and changes
are coming quickly.
The MOB would like to take this opportunity to thank
some folks for giving us so much guidance and assistance
through these beginning stages. (That does not mean
that we would not appreciate further assistance in
the future.) George & Shelia Moore for advice
on structuring, the Bingo Committee for the great
donations for our raffles, Terry & Marie and Don
& Maggie for advice on the “Do‘s and
Don’ts” and Ned & Brenda Macbryde
for all of the “plugs” and the endless
hours of entertainment. Also, we want to thank all
of the members of the Lodge that have supported our
endeavors, small and large. All of you guys are great
and we really appreciate you all. May God bless you
and keep you safe. For all of our fellow bikers, “Keep
the shiny side up and keep it between the lines.”
The
MOB is here and in full force at Fredericksburg Moose
Lodge 1655. The idea for starting the group originated
with George & Krista Breuninger a couple of local
Moose members that went to Daytona Beach, FL on vacation.
When they visited the local Moose Lodge there, they
discovered a new entity of the Moose, “Moose on
Bikes” aka “The MOB”. It consisted
of Moose members that own and enjoy riding motorcycles
(no matter what the make or model). After purchasing
a couple of MOB t-shirts and other miscellaneous paraphernalia,
they not only brought their purchases home with them,
but also the idea that perhaps the members of their
home lodge might be interested in starting their own
“MOB”. The idea was tossed around a bit
among members of the Lodge that rode motorcycles and
before we knew it, people were asking to sign up. Sam
Thomas sent the required documentation to the State
and we were approved to start our group. But before
we could actually start functioning as a recognized
committee, we had to become a committee. We met with
the Board of Officers in July and made our request;
we walked into open arms. So, here we are - “THE
MOB”.
