be given away and great food. There was fun for all. Seaford’s contestants were Jerry Taylor and Jesse Eskridge. At the time of this newsletter, we have no re-sults, but we wish them good luck. We don't know yet who is going to Ocean City for the Moose association contest. Brothers and Co-Workers, we are working on some family activities in the coming months, such as Easter Egg Hunt, work-ing on a trip to a ball game, spring/summer yard sales and an open house for the entire family. Be sure to check out the upcoming newsletters for details. Fraternally; Bill Trice III

Brothers & Co-Workers, we are coming to the end of our Moose Year by the end of this news-letter. Of course, the end of the year also means the beginning of the new year. Even though last year was a fairly good year, we are always look-ing to improve our programs and activities for everyone in the coming year. Brothers, this is also the time of the year when we are looking for the brothers who would like to help the lodge with the programs and activities that create a successful lodge. Brothers, if this is sounds like you, be sure to contact the Governor, Administrator, or any other officer on information on how you can become an officer, a committee chairman, or how you can serve on one of the committees of your interest. Be sure to check calendar for Nominating Committee meetings. Brothers also don't forget APRIL 3, 2019 at 8:00 pm. LODGE ELECTIONS. Brothers & Co-Workers, we have had a very good year in our membership promotions and we want to send a special THANK YOU to those brothers and co-workers who have taken the time to talk MOOSE and its programs. At pre-sent, we have enrolled or reenrolled 45 new or former members into our lodge this year. BUT…… Brothers & Co-Workers, we still need your help!!! We still need a few new applications or even bet-ter lets contact a member who hasn't renewed his or hers dues. Brothers & Co-Workers we need ONE MORE THING please…..CHECK YOUR DUES CARD TODAY to see if your card expires in March or April. March is the month we have the largest amount of our member dues expire, and April 30, 2019 is the last day of our year. THANK YOU. Seaford Lodge was again asked to host the 7th District Karaoke Contest. It was a fun filled even-ing with great entertainment and lots of money to

St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, will be big this year at our lodge! We will be having our Annual Chili Cook-Off on that day with reubens and patty melts….and maybe even green beer! We have some type of food specials all through the week. Thank you for everyone’s hard work that makes our lodge a success.

Women of the Moose News Co-workers, Our Moose Year has come to it’s final 2 months. Your chapter is in dire need of existing members to pay their expired, or soon to be expiring dues, in order to make our year. We are down quite a few members. Please check your membership card to be sure yours are not expired. Also, if you have someone that you think would love to join our fraternity, now’s the time to ‘talk Moose’ and sign them up! The officers this year have tried to keep the Chapter going with continuing to have the required meetings and by holding various events and dinners. WE REALLY NEED YOU! We have close to 300 members, but only have approximately 7-10 members (including us officers) at the meetings. We have another very few that help us with our events. If you think that you can help us get things back on track, now is the time! We need you! Our meet-ings are held on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month at 7:30. Hope to see you there! A new special project we are working on is the upcoming Dinner and Auction on March 16. I hope you can come out and enjoy a fun night! We are also collecting men’s travel sized toiletries to donate to the VA if you can help! In Faith, Hope, and Charity, Ellen Shaw, Senior Regent 301-325-8603

HELP US HELP OUR VETERANS!

The Seaford Women of the Moose are collecting travel sized men's toiletries to donate to the VA in Georgetown. They asked for help and that's what we do!

They will distribute packages to veterans as they leave the facility. If you'd like to help,

we'll gladly accept donations! A box will be placed by the women's restroom. At this time, they stated MEN's toiletries as they have more male veterans than female.

(shampoo, shaving cream, shavers, soap, deodorant, etc)
