Caroline Moose Lodge 2610 / WOTM Chapter 2316 Home

Thank You All!

It has been a great first month for me as the new Administrator! We have had a number of successful funtions throughout the month. The "Men" had a fish fry in conjunction with the yard sale and it was a huge success! The Poker Run was rained out, but the Ladies pulled off a great night with the band "Wild Fire"! Ladysmith Day was also a success and many thanks to Ed Jones, Carolyn and Fred Coutts, Regina Thomas, Gloria Davis and many others who stepped up to help the lodge!

A special thanks to some of our visiting Moose Members working at Fort AP Hill! They have been dedicated customers and supportive members while working in our area and visiting our lodge. We will miss you guys!

Amazingly enough, with all of this work going on, we still managed to mix a little fun in there too. Now that May is coming to a close, we need to look forward to future months and events and ensure our continue successes. To do this we DESPERATELY need all of your help. Currently, we need volunteers to assist in the Social Quarters, help with BINGO on Tuesday Nights and we are looking for a Chairman for the upcoming Agricultural Fair that will take place the 13th thru the 16th of July. If you are interested in helping out PLEASE let the Social Quarters Managers or any of the Board Members know. Again, I thank all of you who have been working so hard this past month to make our events positive, fun and successful!
I would also like to extend a special "Thank You" to George McBride! He comes to the lodge at least once a week and cuts the grass for us. On that note, we will be hosting several functions outside in the coming months, and we need some volunteers to "spruce" up Antler Alley and make it presentable for members and guest. Please see me if you are willing to help us tackle this task.

Sincerely,

Mac

Co-Workers,

Hello Ladies! Here we are in June already! To recap, May was a very busy and successful month. The yard sale and bake sale went great. Thanks to Annette Ganrude for getting the ball rolling on a fantastic fundraising idea. This event went so well, that we are planning on holding another sale in the fall. Be sure to set aside your gently used treasures. You can either donate your items to the WOTM, or you can rent a table/space and sell them for a little extra holiday spending money. A special thanks to those who helped set up, man the tables, baked tasty treats and offered their support in general. Although, Moosapalooza Poker Run was postponed until June 11th, Wild Fire still played, and despite the rain, the night was successful! Everyone in attendance had an awesome time and we are eager to have the band back again in July for our WOTM/LOOM Independance Celebration and Membership Appreciation Day!
Although, summer is a time to relax and travel, we have manyh events planned, so your help, even if only limited, will be greatly appreciated. June 11th we will have our Moosapalooza Poker Run, so we will need helpers to serve, sell raffles and assist in our endeavors. Don't forget cars are welcome too!
Mark your calender, as our monthly meetings have been moved to Wednesdays starting in June. Your attendance at the membership meetings allow you to be abreast of the latest events and fundraisers being conducted and also enables you to build relationships with co-workers. There are many benefits to being a member of the Women of the Moose and you are missing some fantastic opportunities if you do not attend or if you are not involved. Again, one person doesn't have to do everything if everyone does something.
If you have any questions, please contact a co-worker or a board member for details! I hope to see you this Month!

Sincerely,
Karri

Ladies,
As this Moose year comes to close, it's time to reflect on this past year. We had some bumps along the way, but we have come out pretty much unscathed. We have been able to get to know some of our co-workers in ways that we didn't know we would. We have had so many successful events and we are looking forward now to the future! This past year, our Chapter earned it's first ever "Award of Acheivement". We have had our First Academy of Friendship recipients as well as our First Green Cap. These are great successes.
We would like for each of you to be part of that future. We are really in need of our Co-workers to step up and help us along the way this year. So many of you we haven't seen in forever. If there is a reason, we need to know. If it's because of something you didn't agree with, well lets talk about it. Let's build our foundation and make this year a year that counts! We don't know if something is wrong if we never hear from you. Since we are a small chapter we know we need to do something to receive more participation but we need your help to figure out what exactly we need.

Some of you may have stopped coming or participating for so many different reason, the "Time is Now" to come back, see what great things are happening and see if you'd like to give it another Shot! We will welcome you with open arms.

For those who would like to get involved but you don't know how, come to our next Chapter Meeting on May 2nd at 7pm. Please don't feel that we didn't ask you, so we don't help, sometimes we are so use to doing everything, we don't know how to not do everything. We can use help from cooking Friday Night dinners, donating desserts for Friday Night dinners, to Bingo workers, to cooks during the week, bartending, selling 50/50's at events, serving at events. When we say help we don't mean help for the entire event. Even if it's just an hour it's help and we will be appreciative.

Coming up: May 7th from 7:30 until 1:00 WOTM Yard Sale and LOOM Salt Fish Breakfast (7:30 until 10:30) The WOTM needs baked goods donated for our baked goods table. If you have items you would like to donate to be sold, please drop them off at the lodge and we'll happy to take them. We need volunteers that day to man tables. The normal group of volunteers, won't be able to handle this on their own. An hour is all we need from at least 20 women. We will also sell tables for $10 if you would like to sell your own items. Please pass the word. May 14th Moosapalooza, please see the attached flier. We could use donations for gift cards, etc. If you know any local businesses that may be interested, please let us know. This is a Poker Run as well. We are also here to support the community. If you have ideas or benefit needs, write them up and send it to your board members. If you have something to share, we want to hear it. Please!!!!
