Loyal Order of the Moose Aurora Lodge 400 and Chapter 83

GOV’S NOTES
There’s good news and bad news. The good
news is that we had a packed house for our
Roast Beef Dinner and entertainment on June
20th. The bad news is the air conditioner quit.
In the last newsletter I said we need Officers,
Committeemen and volunteers to succeed, and
no one has stepped forward. The few people
we have can’t continue doing this forever.
Please consider what you could do for the
lodge to help it survive.
IT’S NOT WHAT THE LODGE CAN DO
FOR YOU. IT’S WHAT YOU CAN DO
FOR THE LODGE AND TO HELP
SUPPORT MOOSEHEART AND
MOOSEHAVEN.
Fraternally,
Walt Hoehne
Governor

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“I don’t know what your destiny will be; but
one thing I know: the only ones among you
who will be really happy are those who will
have sought and found how to serve.”

COMMUNITY SERVICE
Dee Walker, our Sunshine Chairman, came to
us after she received the last newsletter to say
she has done lots of community service this
year. We have added her volunteer hours to
our monthly report. Please, PLEASE if you
volunteer in the community, our hospitals,
schools, or give private assistance to a needy
person, let us know. We would like to include
your hours.
To that end, co-workers voted at the June 29 th
meeting to encourage each chairman and her
committee members to select a local charity
they would like to give some of their monthly
income to. It is our goal to recognize the
important work done in the Aurora area by so
many valuable organizations such as Wayside
Cross, the Salvation Army, Pregnancy
Information Center and so many others.
BRING MITTENS AND HATS
TO THE CHRISTMAS TREE
In September you are invited to decorate
the Christmas tree in the lobby with new
hats, gloves, mittens, and scarves. On the
last day of September these items will be
donated to a local agency. Mutual Ground,
is now closed, but there are other
organizations that need warm clothing for
little people. Thank you in advance for
your donations.
SUNDAY SNACKS
We have provided free snacks on Sunday
afternoons for a lengthy period of time. We are
sorry to say that our members have not come
out and participated in this time of Fraternalism
with others. So we have decided to discontinue
the snacks after Sunday July 19 th . We will miss
the few that have been there.
