HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!! A new year has begun. Lets try to make this the best year ever. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I can hardly believe 2014 has come and gone. We have welcomed new members and lost very dear members. We've had our good Ɵmes, our bad Ɵmes, disagreements, agreements... but through it all we have persevered and sƟll stand united as one. December was a very busy month for everyone and now we can get back to basics. There will be a lot of things going on the next few months. Keep an eye on your calendar for upcoming events. We want to give a shout out to Gary Brenner for all the help he has given us the last few months. I also want to thank all of our volunteers. Without you our lodge would not be as great as it is. We would like to thank Karla's Kapa Kids for performing at our children's Christmas Party. It was thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. Thank you to all the women who worked to make the party a great success! Make sure you make it down to the lodge oŌen for some old fashioned visiƟng .HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE! Bye for now... see you soon. December 17th was the WOTM 2nd meeƟng of the month and aŌer our meeƟng we had our Christmas party which was lots of fun. We laughed, we ate, we stole each others giŌs and had a great Ɵme. December 20th was the kid's Christmas party and it was a huge success. Thanks to all that helped make it fun for all our kids as they all had a great Ɵme topped off by a special visit from Santa who presented each child with a present. Be sure to check your February newsleƩer as I will have informaƟon regarding the upcoming spring conference which will be held in Klamath Falls the laƩer part of March. As I close I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year. Thanks to all our volunteers that make our Lodge/ Chapter successful. You really are appreciated.

A new year is dawning and I am sending best wishes for a great one to all my Brothers and their families. As we set out seeking a successful new year, let’s take a moment to look back on successes of 2014. One of our best has to be community service. We have already thanked those who parƟcipated in the annual Relay for Life. We also provided aid to the Adult Center, two scholarships to local Seniors, and various donaƟons to local children’s projects. However, our shining star must be the annual Children’s Christmas party. Thanks to Winnie Anderson and Don Phillips (who has a real in with Santa!). A job well done!! Through generous donaƟons and a six month pop can drive $2040 was raised. Each of the 51 children in aƩendance received a giŌ listed in his or her leƩer to Santa, delivered by the jolly old man himself. Of course he had a couple of lively elves along to keep things organized. The Kapa Dancers were on hand to inspire and delight us. On Christmas Eve we delivered food and toy boxes to 3 needy families. In addiƟon, each child in each family received a new bicycle. When I ask “Why are you a Moose?” this has to be one of the top reasons. We are so proud of all our members who are so generous to support the fundraisers that help us be a part of Mooseheart/Moosehaven and our local community. Keep up the good work Brothers! Oh yes, by the way, keep those applicaƟons rolling in. Fraternally, Ron Grace Membership Chairman hƩp://www.mooseintl.org/members/index.php/2015-nashville-housing/ Administrator’s Rambling 2015! We are off and running. December proved to be a month chock full of acƟvity. Food boxes, Santa Clause, Christmas Party for the kids, Lodge Christmas dinner, New Years Eve, cake walks and wonderful raffle baskets. What a month! We have a great bunch of volunteers in our lodge. We have so many caring and generous people that offer their Ɵme and talents to making our Lodge warm and welcoming! Thanks to all who lent a hand with the many acƟviƟes last month… The raffle baskets, once again, were filled with tasty fruit and goodies, well worth the price of a Ɵcket for a chance to win one. Did you win a cake at the cake walk? Remember, someone probably spent some Ɵme preparing that cake to donate to the event. The Lodge Christmas meal was mighty tasty. Hope you were able to stop by. Our cooks spent many hours in the kitchen preparing and serving the tasty ham meal. Did you stop in and catch a glimpse of the fun the kids were having at the Christmas Party, hosted by the Women of the Moose? Did you know that the fund-raising for that event spanned several months. Some long hours were spent by organizer Winnie Anderson and Don , overseeing garage sales and turning in donated cans. Remember… VOLUNTEER OPPOURTUNINTIES ABOUND! Please help us out whenever you can. Come join the fun! Please share any ideas you may have for an event or acƟvity. We are always open to your suggesƟons. Support your Lodge and aƩend our scheduled funcƟons, It'll be worth your Ɵme! Wishing you a very happy and fulfilling New Year 2015.
