Loyal Order of Moose Lodge cares
about children, seniors, our community
The Loyal Order of
Moose Lodge #89, located
at 296 Lake Shore Drive
West in Dunkirk is a beautiful
facility in the heart of
our community. The
organization itself has
been in existence for 102
years and is completely
driven toward the benefit
of three entities. The first
is the Mooseheart, located
west of Chicago. Their #1
priority is the care of children
who may be less fortunate.
The second would
be Moosehaven, the City of
Contentment, in
Jacksonville, Fla., which
focuses on care for the
Senior members of the
Moose. Last but not least,
the Moose’s surrounding
community is also of top
priority.
This philosophy is born
out of a saying by James J.
Davis, Director General.
He said that only the
church and the school have
the right to exist. All others
should have to prove
their right. Moose members
prove their worth by
being in support of
Mooseheart, Moosehaven
and the community in
which they live. And they
take pride in doing so
every day.
Since community service
events are a top priority,
one way that Moose
helps is by offering their
facilities to many non-profit
organizations throughout
the year. In this way,
100 percent of the net profits
can be donated toward
the purpose of the event.
The extensive Phoenix
Room holds over 300 people
and the fully-staffed
and stocked kitchen is prepared
to cater any function
including Monte Carlo
nights and spaghetti dinners.
The Moose Lodge and
its facilities are also open
to private special occasions,
such as wedding
receptions, showers, parties
and much more! The
lodge offers the finest food
and expertly trained staff
to attend to your every
need.
You’ll want to come by
on March 31 for Musicians
Against Cancer. This is
going to be one wild party,
all to benefit Cancer
Research, which, unfortunately,
affects us all in
some way. Live Music will
be provided by Local
Legends from 7-10 p.m.
and there will be a buffet
dinner to enjoy starting at
