Andy Higgins Pilgrim Presentation Was Fantastic. It was heartwarming

to see All the Pilgrims there to Congratulate our newest Pilgrim Andy. I want thank Mike and his crew for a really great dinner he prepared, I know it took a Great deal of work and effort. Mike, we are really grateful for everything you do for Tracy Moose Lodge.

Schools are open now or soon will be, So be careful on the roads and

Watch out for the little ones, they “for the most part” don’t watch out For themselves. The election for the Governor will be held on the General Meeting in September. Come on down and enjoy your Moose Lodge. W. C. Burt

From the Sr. Regent

Hello all. Thank you all for your support of

our WOTM activities in August. Our August

12th dinner was a big hit with roasted chicken,

stuffing, roasted potatoes, Gert’s famous gra-

vy, veggies, salad and dessert. People were

raving that this was the best meal we’ve done

so far! Special thanks to Gert, Donna L.,

Kristal, and all the wonderful helpers!

Our August 28th breakfast featured eggs,

meats, hashbrowns, Danette’s famous waffles, and various fruit

toppings. Thank you to guest chef John Airrington for manning

the egg pans! We always welcome help from our friends, to

paraphrase the Beatles.

In September our dinner will be Chile Colorado, rice, beans,

tortillas and salsa. Please note the date change to September

16th and bring your appetite! Sign up with the bartenders to

make sure we have enough for everyone. I’m sure the bar will

have plenty of Coronas and Tequila to celebrate! Happy Inde-

pendence Day to Mexico!

Also in September, we will have the Second Annual Tracy

WOTM Anniversary luncheon on Saturday, Sept. 24th starting

at 1 pm. We will be reprising our new tradition of celebrating 5

year, 10 year, 15 year, 20 year, 25 year, 30 year, 35 year and 40

year anniversaries with pins of the appropriate year.

Calling all children under age 12 who love Halloween! The

sign up sheet for the Oct. 30th Children’s Halloween party is up

on the bulletin board in the Social Quarters. The deadline to

sign up is SEPT. 26TH! Last year we had a very small but fun

group at the party. However, this year we need to have at

least 15 signed up by the deadline or we will be forced to

cancel the party.

In October, our dinner will be Oct. 14th and by popular demand,

we will repeat the Roasted Chicken dinner with all the fixings.

Sign up early in October to get in on the delicious meal.

Also in October, we are planning a repeat of our famous Luau.

On Saturday, October 29th, dust off your hula skirts and Ha-

waiian shirts and join us for Kenny’s famous Luau food. More

menu details to follow and tickets will be available early Octo-

ber.

Since, the notification regarding the resigning of the Governor was made in June. Alex Zamora submitted his name

for governor and he was running unopposed as of 8/23, so a white ballot

was cast and he has been elected as our new Governor. Please welcome Alex

Zamora as our new Governor for 2016/2017. Any questions or issues,

please talk to your active officers.
