Plainfield <strong>Moose</strong> Active in Community<br />
By Denise Baran-UnlanD<br />
For The heralD-news apr<br />
22, 2011: when a neighbor first<br />
invited Bob provo of plainfield to join<br />
the plainfield <strong>Moose</strong> in 2005, provo<br />
was attracted to the various social<br />
programs the lodge offered.<br />
“i was especially impressed with all<br />
the children’s activities,” provo said,<br />
“because i could enjoy them with my<br />
grandchildren.”<br />
But once provo witnessed the array of<br />
projects and events the <strong>Moose</strong> provided<br />
for its community, he couldn’t wait to<br />
become more involved. “service, that<br />
is the main thing we do,” provo, now<br />
the administrator of programs, said.<br />
Array of projects<br />
The list is extensive. some of the<br />
plainfield <strong>Moose</strong>’s larger projects<br />
include raising more than $10,000 for<br />
Joliet area Community hospice over<br />
five years, $11,000 for st. Baldricks<br />
and $6,000 of equipment ($2,000 for<br />
Bob Provo of the Plainfield <strong>Moose</strong> Lodge. Michael R. Schmidt~Sun-Times Media<br />
portable light towers) for the plainfield<br />
emergency Management agency<br />
(peMa).<br />
The plainfield <strong>Moose</strong> has also hosted<br />
blood drives, annual Cpr classes,<br />
collected cell phones for victims of<br />
domestic abuse, participated in the fall<br />
Dupage river cleanup and purchased<br />
golf holes for the community’s Frisbee<br />
golf course.<br />
it volunteers with and sponsors the<br />
homecoming parade and buys $25<br />
plots in the community garden for<br />
individuals and families that cannot<br />
afford the fee. They send supplies to<br />
overseas troops.<br />
“last year, one of the Gi’s wrote and<br />
said they’d like to have baseball gloves<br />
for recreation after being in the field<br />
all day,” provo said. “so we collected<br />
100 mitts and bats and shipped them<br />
to the troops. we received a very nice<br />
thank you note.”<br />

wow! i have just<br />
returned from a trip to<br />
<strong>Moose</strong>heart and had<br />
the wonderful privilege<br />
of attending the<br />
Graduation Ceremony<br />
for the graduating<br />
seniors of <strong>Moose</strong>heart!<br />
This is the third <strong>Moose</strong>heart graduation i have attended<br />
and each time i have gotten goose bumps during the<br />
ceremony. i always leave the graduation<br />
with a new charge of enthusiasm about<br />
my commitment to the children of<br />
<strong>Moose</strong>heart and the seniors at <strong>Moose</strong><br />
haven. let’s all remember, the kids at<br />
<strong>Moose</strong>heart and the seniors at <strong>Moose</strong><br />
haven are what the <strong>Moose</strong> is all about.<br />
i don’t want to step on the toes of the<br />
illinois Day Chairs, Joe albert and<br />
Barry litberg but i would encourage<br />
all members of the loyal order of<br />
<strong>Moose</strong> to make the trip to <strong>Moose</strong>heart<br />
on september 10th and see for yourself<br />
what the <strong>Moose</strong> is all about. i am<br />
sure once you see what you as <strong>Moose</strong><br />
Members help support you will be willing to kick it up a<br />
notch to promote the loyal order of <strong>Moose</strong> which means<br />
proMoTe MeMBership!!!<br />
For the first time in many years <strong>Moose</strong> international<br />

current membership campaigns when the campaign year<br />

before, i encourage each of you to attend illinois Day on<br />
september 10th! if you can’t make it on illinois Day, your<br />
family at <strong>Moose</strong>heart will be happy to see you anytime.<br />
The membership of District # 7 is putting together a bus<br />
trip for the members to attend illinois Day. This is the<br />
easiest and cheapest way for our membership to see their<br />
money and dedication in action. The kids at <strong>Moose</strong>heart<br />
love to see <strong>Moose</strong> Members on campus. Go and check it<br />
out!!<br />
see you st. louis!<br />

Regional Manager - Austin Howard<br />
“I would like to<br />
thank the Lodges and<br />
Members of the <strong>Illinois</strong><br />
<strong>Moose</strong> <strong>Association</strong><br />
for a Super end to<br />
the 2010/2011 <strong>Moose</strong><br />
Fiscal Year . ”<br />
while i have tried to avoid as many conflicts in pilgrim<br />
presentations, woTM activity Meetings, District<br />
Meetings, <strong>Moose</strong> legion Jurisdiction Meetings, Council<br />
of higher Degrees Meetings, etc. it is just impossible.<br />
i apologize if any of the pilgrim presentations conflict<br />
with another scheduled activity or Meeting, but with<br />
everything falling on weekends in september, october<br />
and november, it could not be helped. i intend to try<br />
to keep the pilgrim presentations within september and<br />
october when at all possible, so when you start planning<br />
your Meetings and activities in<br />
the future years, please keep this in<br />
mind.<br />
in closing i would like to thank the<br />
lodges and Members of the illinois<br />
<strong>Moose</strong> association for a super end<br />
to the 2010/2011 <strong>Moose</strong> Fiscal year.<br />
During april the lodges in illinois<br />
submitted 1,349 new or Former<br />
Member applications and all 93<br />
active lodges submitted at least one<br />
application. please take the time<br />
to look at the Membership reports elsewhere in this<br />
<strong>Magazine</strong>, there are Members and lodges listed in those<br />
reports that for the 2010/2011 Fiscal year produced<br />
results that were nothing short of superb. even with the<br />
increased Membership production, the illinois <strong>Moose</strong><br />
association still finished the Fiscal year 1,751 active<br />
Members below the total we ended the 2009/2010 Fiscal<br />
year with. This tells me that Member retention is being<br />
ignored. we are bringing new Members into our lodges,<br />
but they are going out the Back Door faster than we can<br />
bring new Members in the Front. if the illinois <strong>Moose</strong><br />
association is going to grow in numbers and strength,<br />
we must work hard on both Membership production and<br />
Member retention. it can be done, we just have to get the<br />
entire Membership involved.<br />

Congratulations to the <strong>Moose</strong>heart graduating class of<br />
2011 and to the illinois <strong>Moose</strong> association pilgrims for<br />
2011.<br />
The international Campaign is “Create some interest”.<br />
The Membership Committee should have a short-term<br />
campaign in place along with the international and iMa<br />
campaigns. it is so important that a lodge recognize their<br />
sponsors for their efforts. The lodge should begin now<br />
to advertise their preferred Members party for next year.<br />
proper orientation is mandatory for the new candidates.<br />
you must tell them of the activities of your lodge and tell<br />
them why they should join your lodge. Marketing and<br />
promotion of membership is more than the signing of a<br />
name on an application, it is satisfying a need of today’s<br />
society. The lodges must do a little cleaning and painting<br />
and the lodges must meet the needs of our members by<br />
offering activities for the entire family. They must provide<br />
an atmosphere that is friendly. our lodges must set the<br />
standard for leadership in community service. we can no<br />
longer afford to be the best-kept secret<br />
in town or just another neighborhood<br />
bar.<br />
The date for the 80th annual<br />
Convention of the illinois <strong>Moose</strong><br />
association is august 18-21, 2011.<br />
The headquarters hotel for both the<br />
loyal order of <strong>Moose</strong> and the women<br />

Tree lane. The special guest for the men is Bruce Berger,<br />
international <strong>Moose</strong> legion Jr. past president, from<br />
sellersville, pa lodge 1539. The special guest for the<br />
women is Mary Froning, past Member of the academy<br />
of Friendship Council, from Mitchell, sD Chapter 1167.<br />
The administrator and the Governor, by virtue of the<br />
General laws, are the representatives of your lodge at this<br />
convention and should be in attendance at all meetings. if<br />
unable to attend any lodge officer, past Governor, or good<br />
standing member may serve as an alternate representative;<br />
however, brother Governor, you are required to be in<br />
attendance to qualify for the Governor’s award and the<br />
life membership award. representatives to the convention<br />
are entitled to expense reimbursement pursuit to the<br />
General laws of our order.<br />
as set forth by the General Governor it is the policy<br />
that only “registered” good standing members and their<br />
qualified guests are entitled to be admitted into hospitality<br />
“We can no longer<br />
afford to be the<br />
best-kept secret in<br />
town or just another<br />

Team Activity Leader - Johnny Larison<br />
i hope that everyone that went to the 123rd annual<br />
international Convention, the 99th annual international<br />
Conference of the women of the <strong>Moose</strong>, and the 45th<br />
annual international <strong>Moose</strong> legion Conference took<br />
advantage of all of the good training that was offered.<br />
Make sure you share this information with your members.<br />
This will help in moving your lodge forward.<br />
Most lodges are on track with more activities and i know<br />
that this will help to bring in new members and at the<br />
same time help to keep the members they have. we know<br />
that sometimes it is harder to keep the members we have<br />
than to bring in new ones. we need to make sure to have<br />
something for all members and their kids to do.<br />
i would like to thank all of our association, District,<br />
and lodge Community service chairmen and special<br />
project Chairman for a job well done. our lodges<br />
throughout our Fraternity are doing a lot of good work<br />
for their communities<br />
along with special<br />
olympics, <strong>Moose</strong>heart/<br />
<strong>Moose</strong>haven Capital<br />
projects, safe surfin’,<br />
Flight 93 and the<br />
Gimme Five program.<br />
Make sure you promote<br />
the Tommy <strong>Moose</strong> program.<br />
Most lodges are also on track getting their community<br />
service reports in on time. There are a few lodges that<br />
don’t take the time to do so. we need to make sure our<br />

Plainfield <strong>Moose</strong> (continued from page 1)<br />
Fundraisers For Families<br />
The plainfield <strong>Moose</strong> offers $500 scholarships to<br />
plainfield high school students and hosts fundraisers to<br />
help needy plainfield families with medical expenses.<br />
Most recently, the plainfield <strong>Moose</strong> raised $5,000 for the<br />
Joshua Deland family.<br />
it recognizes plainfield’s firefighter and police officer of<br />
the year with a dinner and plaque. recently, the plainfield<br />
<strong>Moose</strong> supplied the police and fire departments with three<br />
cases of Tommy <strong>Moose</strong> dolls.<br />
“The first responders to an accident scene or house fire<br />
can pass the Tommy <strong>Moose</strong> dolls to the kids that might<br />
be traumatized or shook up to help settle them down,”<br />
provo said.<br />
on sundays during football season, members can watch<br />
the Chicago Bears play and enjoy food other members<br />
have prepared. a donation jar is also present. The plainfield<br />
<strong>Moose</strong> matches the donations and sends it to the “chef’s”<br />
charity of choice. “if i cook up a big pot of chili,” provo<br />
said, “i might want the money sent to juvenile diabetes.<br />
someone else might want to support breast cancer.”<br />
Food for needy<br />
This year, the plainfield <strong>Moose</strong> partnered with the Ford<br />
family in plainfield to collect and distribute 714 turkeys.<br />
For 10 years this family spearheaded a turkey collection<br />
from their home and offered a “thank you” buffet to<br />
donors when they dropped off turkeys.<br />
when donations hit 573 turkeys, the Fords were<br />
overwhelmed and asked if another group could accept the<br />
challenge. The plainfield <strong>Moose</strong> did and created the Ford-<br />
<strong>Moose</strong> Turkey Drop and expanded the buffet from chili,<br />
hot dogs, doughnuts and coffee to include barbecue beef,<br />
chicken and sandwiches.<br />
while most of the turkeys go to Morningstar Mission<br />
in Joliet, a portion of them are distributed to needy<br />
plainfield families and some were given to food pantries<br />
in plainfield and romeoville.<br />
The illinois <strong>Moose</strong> association n.e. Council of higher<br />
Degrees presented a set of luggage to every graduating<br />
<strong>Moose</strong>heart senior at the pJo Center on sunday, april<br />
10, 2011. on left is n.e. Vice president Johnny larison<br />
and scott hart. on right is Mike Bannwolf, Chaplain, in<br />
the Fellowship shirt, secretary amy weiss and president<br />
rob reining.<br />
in addition, each month members bring boxes of food<br />
for the plainfield Food pantry. The plainfield <strong>Moose</strong> also<br />
charters Boy scout Troop 91 and Cub scout pack 91 and<br />
allows the scouts to use the lodge for meetings and its<br />
fundraising pancake breakfast.<br />
Florida Connection<br />
The plainfield <strong>Moose</strong> also offers camping trips, fishing<br />
outings, family picnics, cooking programs, roller skating<br />
parties, bowling leagues, dart leagues, youth computer<br />
programs and family movie nights. They also contribute,<br />
as all lodges do, to <strong>Moose</strong>heart Child City and school<br />
inc., a residential childcare facility in <strong>Moose</strong>heart and<br />
<strong>Moose</strong>haven member retirement home in Florida.<br />
and they do it with only 420 men and 220 women.<br />
“we’re small compared to many <strong>Moose</strong> lodges. Most have<br />
1,000 or so members,” provo said. Much of the lodge’s<br />
enthusiasm, he added, is due to its founder, Jerry weiss<br />
of plainfield, who single-handedly has brought in at least<br />
80 members.<br />
weiss once belonged to the Berwyn <strong>Moose</strong>, but when<br />
he moved to plainfield, weiss wanted a lodge in his own<br />
community. so in six months weiss had collected the 100<br />
signatures necessary for a charter. once that was attained,<br />
they first met in members’ homes, gradually moving to<br />
other facilities as membership increased and the men<br />
outgrew them. The plainfield <strong>Moose</strong> never had its own<br />
building until 2009.<br />
so when a prospective member is simply looking for a<br />
place to drink, provo lets him know the plainfield <strong>Moose</strong><br />
is not the club for him.<br />
“we like when members get involved, but sometimes we<br />
do have to ask them,” provo said. “Maybe they’re scared<br />
or think we have enough help. But once they’re involved,<br />
they become friends and it keeps going on and on.”<br />
The plainfield <strong>Moose</strong> lodge is at 16310 s. lincoln<br />
highway in plainfield. From interstate 55, it’s just west on<br />
route 30 in the strip mall. For more information about<br />
the plainfield <strong>Moose</strong>, call the lodge at 815-254-1403.<br />
