Legion Corner

Hello Legion Brothers, I thought I would share some information that maybe you didn’t know about the Moose Legion.

WHO BELONGS TO THE MOOSE LEGION?

Moose Legionnaires come from all walks of life and occupations. They are leaders in their communities and they prevail in positions of responsibility and leadership within the Moose fraternity. Each Moose Legionnaire be-lieves strongly in doing some good thing for someone each day.

WHAT IS THE MOOSE LEGION?

Dedicated members of the Loyal Order of Moose continually look for ways to provide even greater service to our children at Mooseheart and our senior members at Moosehaven. The Moose Legion provides a venue for these en-thusiastic members to direct and lead special programs that accomplish this fraternal mission.

WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER JOINING THE MOOSE LEGION?

That which we send into the lives of others comes back into our own in many ways. Lives change when we do this. Membership in the Degree of Service offers you additional opportunities to serve childhood and old age, and opens the door to you and your family for theme parties, sporting events, community service projects and other unique activities available only to members of the Moose Legion.

Also – the April 5th Legion Shuffleboard Tournament winners were Erin O’Brien Holden and Ben Souza! Look for another tournament announcement soon!

Fraternally,Jamie Curley, North Reading Lodge 1511 2-Year Trustee

Moose Legion Chairman
