March News 2022
March is upon us!
March means a few different things. First, it's time for nominations for the upcoming Board of Officers elections. If you are interested, please contact any of the officers for more information.
The Moose Legion Celebration will be held at the NW Tucson Moose Lodge during the weekend of the 11th - 13th.
Mid-Year conference is being held in Albuquerque the 3rd through the 6th.
The One Moose concept has left a few of our ladies confused. Lodges with chapters had the female members automatically transferred into the Lodge membership system as of May 1st last year if they were current with their dues at that time. Unfortunately, in our situation with no chapter, many of the women found themselves members of the virtual Lodge or another Lodge in our district based on where they held their chapter membership. We've gone a long way to get everyone transferred to our Lodge as we come across the information. Concerns about the difference between chapter and Lodge membership have arisen a few times. Please reach out to me via the email or phone if you have further questions or need additional help in taking care of your membership records.
I've said it before, and I'll say again. I couldn't be more thrilled with all of the members who've held on as we go through all the speedbumps to rebuild. It really is important that everyone remember what our membership dues really go toward. Our support for Mooseheart and Moosehaven has been phenomenal despite the lack of a building....and it shows.
As of right now, we are the only Lodge in the District potentially set to achieve the Premier Lodge award for this year. How's that for an accomplishment? We must be doing something right even as we sit around waiting on county and contractors.
Speaking of contractors, we expect to have some bids back by the first week of March for our March 7th General Meeting at the Church on Tacna again. We are very grateful that they allow us to use that facility in addition to the Fire Department allowing us to hold Board meetings at their location.
I'm still working on finalizing the details and nuances of this new site, so let me know if you have any thoughts and stay postive and Be Moose Strong.
Fraternally yours,
Robert Mathis
Administrator
As promised.....here's some additional information. There may yet be more on the way, but some great things are heading our way. First, congratulations to our newly installed officers. A huge thank you to those who've returned to help us get back to going in the right direction and to Becky Jolly for officially stepping up to President. Considering we started off behind the eight-ball struggling to even fill the Board completely, this turn around has proven that there are those who have the best interests of the Moose and our community in mind and that we are going to do our best to keep the momentum going. A few bits of information: For the first time in over five years, Arizona City will be hosting the District Meeting. Tap Inn has graciously agreed to allow us to use their facility for the meeting and will be providing breakfast burritos for $8 starting at 8 am. In addition to the meeting (which will include the installation of the newly elected officers for the District, there is an open invitation for a $25 for 18 holes and a cart for any individual who wishes to play. We would like advance notice so that we can let Ryan know what to plan for, but we will accommodate any who show and wish to play. If there are enough, we may look to do a mini-tournament with enough advance notice. We will also have a bake sale and raffle baskets available before, during and after the meeting.
