Thank You for all you do. We conducted our Membership Retention starting with a day in the park with a petting zoo for the kids, lunch and a great band. During the week we welcomed several new members and many renewed their commitment to Mooseheart and Moosehaven. Great job!!!! I hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving.

Senior Regents Message The old saying seems to be true that "the older we are, the fast-er time goes". It is that way for me - it's hard to believe we are already in our twelfth month of 2016. December was the tenth month in the ancient Roman year. It was called DECEMBRIS by the Romans because DECEM is the Latin word for ten. SATURNALIA, the chief Ro-man festival, was held in December; it honored Saturn, father of Jupiter, and was accompanied by unbridled merrymaking. The Roman festival of the winter sol-stice, on December 25, celebrated the birthday of the Unconquered Sun. Until the reign of William the Conqueror (1066-87), the English began their year on Decem-ber 25. In ancient times, Druid priests preformed pagan rites during this sea-son. After their conversion to Christianity, the Saxons changed their name for the month, WINTER-MONATH, to HELIGH-MONATH, or HOLY-MONTH. Regardless of what it's called, December is a very busy month. As you are out and about during the month, why not take a break from going home to cook? Stop by the Social Quarters on Wednesday and Friday evenings for a 'home-cooked' meal without the work or cleanup. Chef Steve always has something special and deli-cious. Also, in the Ballroom we have Bingo on Sundays and Tuesdays. Doors open at 4:30 PM. On Monday evenings, try your luck with finding the Queen of Hearts and on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays, test your skill with Trivia. Drawing for the Scratch Raffle will be held on the 21st. Call or stop by the office for more information on this event. For an evening of celebration, make plans to attend the New Year's Eve dance in the Ballroom. Tickets are $30.00 each for this special night, including break-fast. Dance the night away with the music of Feature Attraction. Thanks to Marie Matlock and her Elves, you will be amazed when you see how beautiful the Ball-room is decorated. And now at this very special time of the year, I would like to be the first to wish each of you MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR. Madelyn W. Collier Senior Regent Train your heart to SMILE and your soul to sing and you will find a blessing in each and everything.

Congratulations to Don Readshaw! Moose of the Year ~ 2016 !!! Don Readshaw has led by exam-ple in many capacities throughout his moose history. His dedication and commitment are comparable to none. He has spent decades up-holding the Moose principles of giving his time and financial aid for the advancement of not only his community, but his fellow man & child in need. While he may not be much of talker....his lifelong actions and philanthropic nature speak vol-umes of his compassion for human welfare.

A New Moose Experience: Overview Written by Moose International Senior Reporter Published: 16 November 2016 Last Updated: 16 November 2016 Moose Experience: Overview

An Unmet Need that Moose Can Uniquely Fulfill The New Moose Experience has been con-ceived to address a dramatic sea change in the national workforce and the lives of today’s — and tomorrow’s — working fami-lies. We have identified an urgent, unfulfilled need in the lives of Millennial-led working families (people aged 20 to 36 with young children in the home) that Moose is uniquely qualified to fulfill. With more than 30 million unconventionally employed as “1099” employees — freelanc-ers, contractors, and independent small-business owners — Millennials dominate to-day’s shifting work environment. When we add those owning or working in small busi-nesses (companies with two to nine employees), we see that the majority of this 76.4-million-strong generation works in situations never even considered by their elders. The media portrays Millennials as hip, creative individuals living in major urban centers, untethered by marriage and parenthood. Yet that’s not a realistic picture of the genera-tion: 53% are already married or seriously partnered, and 44% are parents with children in the home. These family-oriented Millennials are increasingly drawn to small and medi-um-sized metro areas that offer a high quality of life at an affordable cost of living. They desire experiences and services that meet their needs like their urban counterparts do, but they remain under-served in these slower-to-evolve communities. In 1906, Moose Supreme Organizer James J. Davis identified a similar sea change in the workforce and sought a way to meet the needs of families who were struggling to navigate the new era. Today, Moose International seeks to do so once again as the na-tional economy grows rapidly toward this flexible, entrepreneurial, and on-demand em-ployment — and drastically shifts the composition of domestic life for the entire family in the process.

Designed for the Working Families of Today and Tomorrow The New Moose Experience is uniquely designed to give working families two things they value most without compromise: (1) time together as a family and (2) a genuine sense of community. To do so, the new concept fully integrates three revenue-generating lines of business that will be packaged, priced, marketed, and operated to be a place of daily habit, trust, delight, fulfillment, and tight-knit community for today’s work-ing families.

Coworking: Flexible, hospitable work environments to meet the needs of inde-pendently and small-business-employed working Millennial parents; the fastest growing and most under-served population in today’s national workforce.

Flexcare: Flexible, learning-oriented childcare for their kids — designed to accom-modate the variable schedules of today’s parents while delivering a high-quality ear-ly childhood education experience that instills the values that Moose cares about most: caring for others in need, social responsibility, and community contribution.

Best-in-class food-and-beverage: An accessible, appealing kitchen/market/cafe that welcomes the community (whether or not they participate in the co-working and childcare offerings) by serving a fresh, delicious, and healthy take on casual Americana cuisine at all parts of day and in all of the ways that modern families — and diners at large — want to eat.

The New Moose Experience will be a place of caring and contribution, positively impact-ing the surrounding community and supporting Mooseheart. To do so, the three core lines of business will be supplemented with community service activities and learning-oriented programming that engage and enrich the community at-large as well as our everyday community subscribers.

several local

Churches as they

opened up a

Homeless Shelter

during the winter

months on West

Broad Street in

down town Hopewell. For the

past three years the Lodge

participates each Wednesday

to feed the needy. Other area

churches fill the other days of

the week. The

Lodge expanded

the their support

by purchasing

cots, bedding

and other linen.

The Lodge also

voted to pay the gas and wa-

ter bill for six month to en-

sure a prompt opening on 13

Nov. Tommy Moose assisted

in the delivery

and maintenance

of the Shelter just

hours before the

first guests ar-

rived. Thanks to

Matt Kilbourn,

Moose Legionair, for fixing

the ceiling tiles and an up and

rising Junior Moose, Christian

King, for unloading and set-

ting up the cots. A special

thanks to Barbra Nester for

providing a healthy start up

supply of coffee for the cold

evenings. If you

PRELATES CORNER /

Darrell Johnson

Please contact the office to re-port illness or death of a Broth-er or Family member @ 804-458-1755 Passed: Larry Rhodes; Leslie Andrews; Art Seward's Mother passed; Ken Emerson’s Mother passed Sickness: James Keshaw's dad had leg am-putated & in rehab.

(Bell Tolls 9 Times) Repeat after me... Let the little chil-dren come to me. Do not keep them away. For they are like the kingdom of Heaven.

GOD BLESS Mooseheart!

Mooseheart Boosters Why Become a Mooseheart Booster?

Mooseheart Child City & School is a residential childcare facility, located on a 1,000-acre campus 38 miles west of Chicago. The Child City is a home for chil-dren and teens in need, from infancy through high school. Mooseheart cares for youth whose families are unable, for a wide variety of reasons, to care for them. Some have lost one or both parents; others are living in environments that are simply not conducive to healthy growth and development.

Children live in one of roughly thirty residences, each home for six to twelve chil-dren. The heart of the program are the Family Teachers, who provide a con-sistent, systematic method of care, with emphasis on social-skills development – skills essential for success in later life. It is Mooseheart’s policy to admit qualified children who have a need. The Admissions Committee considers all applications of children in need.

As a Mooseheart Booster you help provide a home and education to children in need from across the continent. Your generosity, along with that of the men and women of the Moose fraternity, ena-bles Mooseheart Child City & School to provide services to children who need, and de-serve, the opportunity to live a happy and successful life.

“Senior Nursing Home Christmas Party”

The Women of the Moose would

like to invite you to join us as we

celebrate a very special evening of

Christmas cheer with our local

seniors in the nursing home on

December 20th. The party starts

at 7 pm, and we will pass out

goodie bags, sing songs, have refreshments and bring a smile to

some faces. We would love to have some members join us for an

hour to celebrate. If you would like to help with the gifts, the Christ-

mas Tree’s on the stage in the Social Quarters has the names, siz-

es and when to return. Please take one, two or as many as you like.

Please help us make this holiday special for our seniors.

“Nursing Home Seniors Christmas

Wish List” The Christmas Holi-

days are fast approaching!

Mary Simmons (our sen-

ior health care coordina-

tor/co-worker) has already

begun plans for our sen-

iors Christmas. She has

been working alongside

the Hopewell Health Care

facility and has a

“Christmas Wish List”

that we would like to pro-

vide our seniors. We

would like to ask all of

you to help us make their

Christmas “Merry and

Bright”.

The outpouring of love

and generosity shown by

our Lodge last year was

simply amazing. I can not

think back upon it without

getting teary eyed. It went

beyond any expectation

we had. Can we do the

same this year?

If you would like to

participate, all the name’s

and sizes are on a Christ-

mas Tree in the Social

Quarters on the stage.

Please help us make their

Christmas special. Please

return the gift with a tag

addressed to that senior

recipient. You may drop

off the items under the

tree on the stage. We

kindly ask that items be

turned in by Wednesday,

December 16th.

With sincere apprecia-

tion, Co-worker Mary

Simmons & The Women

of the Moose #1180

"Volunteer of the Month” JULIE ANDREWS

Who is Julie you ask? Just look around the Social Quarters. She is everywhere. Each season she is in the Lodge decorating the Social Quarters at Easter, 4th of July, Christ-mas and her favorite holiday, Halloween. Julie is quick to jump in when the Lodge needs a helping hand. Like many Volunteer’s her support to the Lodge is never fully appreci-ated by those that benefit from her efforts. Those of us in-volved in the behind scene activities know the Lodge could not function without dedicated Volunteers like Julie. She continues to be a staple in the Lodge of which we all could not do without. From time to time you can find her at the Queen of Hearts in full outfit as the “QUEEN OF HEARTS”. We would be remiss if we did not mention the crowning jewel and her passion, the Annual Lodge Halloween Party. She pours her heart and soul into this event and it is the most anticipated dance of the year. Congratulations Julie.
