Our new officers are in place, and I am looking forward to working with both the LOOM and the WOTM to have another successful year.

Governor’s Corner

Dear LOOM Brothers & Chapter Members,

It is hard to believe my term is coming to an end. It has been a pleasure to serve as Governor for the past 2 years. I would like to thank the Board of Of-ficers for their service and dedication to Lodge 376. I also want to thank the WOTM of Chapter 1329 and their Officers for all the help during the past two years. I want to wish both the incoming Boards all the best and continued success in the next Moose year. Lastly, a great big “THANK YOU” to Cathy N. for all her help with the kids functions and LOOM dinners. Her help was greatly appreciat-ed and she was truly the reason for making these events happen.

Thank You, Good Luck and God Bless,

Greetings Co-Workers

In my year as Sr. Regent, I have had the pleasure of getting to know many of you a little better, and have enjoyed meet-ing many more of you for the first time. Your encourage-ment, as well as your own dedication to the principles of the Moose has helped me to more fully understand our mission.

I would like to express my appreciation to our outgoing board for their tireless efforts which made this past year‘s events so successful. The hard work and dedication of the board, chairs, and the many volunteers have been instru-mental in the success our chapter experienced this past year.

As always, the chapter’s continued success is not because of the few who serve, but due to the many of you who come out and support us in our endeavors throughout the year. Your generous donations and contributions make it easy to serve such a worthy organization.

Chapter 1329 is once again blessed with a full new board of equally devoted individuals whom I am certain will have a very successful year. Please join me in welcoming our new board: Sr. Regent -Pam Foerch, Jr. Regent -Sharon Martin, Secretary-Treasurer -JoAnne Zeutschel, Recorder -Sharon Okrzesik, and Chaplin-Beth Naulty. It is truly an honor to have your continued service and dedication to our chapter.
