MOOSE TALES
Administrator’s Message
Sometimes, it is
good to reflect.
Let’s take a minute
to think about
when and why you
may have become
a Moose member.
For a lot of people, it was because they wanted a place that
was not a bar. Others like the
fraternal aspect of the Moose.
Thinking about both of these reasons and every member’s pledge
to help grow the order by sponsoring others of good character, I
wonder if we think about how
we look to new people that visit
our lodge and are maybe thinking of joining. Are we open, in-
viting, and friendly? Do we
seem like a place that is
more than a bar? Just take a
minute to think about how
we could look if we are always
using profane language or flipping our ashes in an overflowing
ash tray instead of taking a minute to maybe clean an area of
your lodge that you enjoy using.
Please take a minute and think of
how you can make your lodge a
better place for your fellow
members and prospective members. How we may be able to be
more active in our community as
well.
Finally, I want to take a minute
to say congratulations to
Dawn Mackland who
will be receiving her Red
Stole. This is the highest
degree that can be bestowed on a
WOTM. The presentation will be
the Tallahassee Lodge on Thursday, November 13th at 7:00 pm for
her and Roberta Davis, who also is
a member of the Quincy WOTM.
It is open to all members, both
men and women, so come out and
show them how proud we all are.
Fraternally,
Roy Rawlings
Administrator

will be selling doggy treats.
That’s right, we don’t want to
forget our best pals. These will
be homemade treats for dogs and
will be 20 treats for $5.00. A
portion of the proceeds will also
benefit the Gadsden County Humane Society. This is a win-win
for everyone! Look for an order
form in the next newsletter or at
the lodge. You don’t want to
miss getting some for your furchild.
Last but certainly not least, our
meeting this month is early: to
Wednesday, November 5th at
7:00 pm. Please plan to attend
so that we can plan more fund-
raising events and community service activities.
See you around the lodge.

Fun Facts about Thanksgiving
1. The first Thanksgiving celebration lasted three days.
2. Mashed potatoes, pumpkin pies, corn on the cob, and cranberries were not foods present at the first
Thanksgiving’s table.
3. Lobster, rabbit, chicken, fish, squash, beans, hickory nuts, dried fruit, maple syrup, onions, leeks, honey,
radishes, cabbage, carrots, eggs, and goat cheese are thought to have made up the first Thanksgiving
feast.
4. The pilgrims did not use forks; they ate with spoons, knives and
their fingers.
5. The Pilgrim leader, Governor William Bradford, had organized the
first Thanksgiving feast in 1621. He invited the neighboring
Wampanoag Indians to the feast.
6. Abraham Lincoln issued a “Thanksgiving Proclamation” on October 3, 1863 and officially set aside the last Thursday in November
as the national day for Thanksgiving.
7. The annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade began in the 1920s.
8. The heaviest turkey ever raised was 86 pounds, about the size of a
large dog.
9. Male turkeys gobble. Hens do not. They make a clucking noise.
10. Turkeys have heart attacks. The US Air Force was doing test runs
and breaking the sound barrier. Nearby turkeys dropped dead with
heart attacks.
