CHARITY
Charity Begins at Home—But It Should Not End There
By JANET FREGULIA/ Executive Director, Moose Charities

Conrad Hilton said, “The practice of charity will bind us...will bind all men in one great brotherhood”.

For those of us in the Moose fraternity, it is indeed the tie that binds us together, in service to one another and to the two great communities established so many years ago. The wisdom and foresight of James J. Davis and Rodney Brandon, the founders of Mooseheart and Moosehaven respectively, gave our fraternity a purpose - one that makes it much more than simply a social club. These two communities validate our existence.

What is really important to a child in need of help - or a senior in need of a safe shelter? A roof over his/her head? Good food to eat? Knowing that someone cares? All of these?

Since their founding, Mooseheart and Moosehaven have provided these essential items that most of us are able to take for granted. This has been accomplished because of the caring and generosity of members like you. And their continued operations rely on your continued generosity. As Mother Theresa said “To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it”.

It is said that “charity begins at home”. Sir Francis Bacon said, “Charity begins at home but should not end there”. Please- take care of your family- and then, help take care of your “extended family” the children of Mooseheart and our senior members at Moosehaven.

Moose Charities offers many avenues and ways in which you can help. Please learn more by visiting our website at www.moosecharities.org.
*****************************************************

On a personal note, after having visited only Mooseheart many times, I can confidently say that if you were to visit either community and see what we support, you would never let your dues expire. Rich Sloane

Thanks to all those who helped at our functions and work parties last month. We had great meals thanks to the hard work of our members. Thanks to the “Save Your Bacon Crew” who stepped up to put on the great dinner on January 27. We have lots of delicious menus this month as well. Come down and enjoy a good meal and the fellowship of other members. If there is a member new to you, go over and make their acquaintance. -------------------- This month is the time for appointing a nominating committee to select officers for the coming year starting May 1. The committee consists of the eight elected officers, five Past Governors in order of juniority and 5 members appointed by the Governor, each of whom must be a committee chairman. If you have the time to help as an officer or on one of our committees, please contact any member of this committee. We have many talented members who have the time and whose expertise we could use. Please see the Director General’s message in the February-March issue of Moose Magazine. -------------------- Thanks to our sponsors who signed up new members last month. The orientation for new members will be on Friday February 3 following dinner. -------------------- We still need volunteers in all areas of the Lodge. We are all busy but the more people we have available, the less any one person has to work. Most of us could put in a few hours once a month or every other month. Those not able to do physical work can help organize an event. There is a signup sheet in the hallway by the office. -------------------- We could also use a few more attendees at our activities. If you have an opinion of any of our meals or any other activity or suggestion to improve our Lodge operation, please use the comment cards available in the dining room and place them in the locked box there. The officers do review these cards and do their best to make any improvements suggested. PG&E has recently replaced our old mercury vapor outdoor lights with new sodium vapor lights at no cost to us. They are much brighter and will save a significant amount of electricity. -------------------- The State Association Mid-Winter Conference will be at the Atlantis Hotel Casino March 22-25. -------------------- One of our ovens had to be repaired and any donations to help defray the cost would be greatly appreciated.
