The Moose Honors our Community Heroes!

From January 1st through April 30th, 2017, Moose International and the Upper Rogue Lodge will waive all first year’s fees and dues for active military personnel AND first responders. If you know someone who is serving our country or provides first responder services for our community, now is a great time to offer them a membership in the Moose! There is absolutely NO CHARGE to them for the first year. It is our hope that they will learn about the great things we do for children, seniors, and our communities. Bring them in and sign them up!

Texas Hold ‘em every Monday and

Thursday at 6pm! We have house

dealers so you don’t have worry

about knowing how to play…just

come on down and join the fun!

Special Dinners every Friday Night!

The Rocker Fund contest is on! The Women have

challenged the men for this Moosehaven fundraiser. Look

for the rockers in the dining room. Put your name and

amount on the card and take it to the bartender. Let’s see

who has the biggest heart for Moosehaven!

Governor’s Corner

Dale has been restructuring the bar and kitchen personnel and

seems to have gotten the final link in place. Welcome our new

bartenders Kathleen, Kenneth, Monica, Jaime, Augenaet, and

Sue ~ by stopping in for a drink and pleasant conversation.

All the broken and leaking parts are now repaired, doors are

working on card lock, credit card machine is in and working,

(come on down Roger) we even have a Valentine’s Day dance

coming up with the Diamonds and Denim combo playing

everyone’s favorites, and our monthly “Steak Night” and

Friday night meals to write home about.

Our hard-working Events Committee is working on putting

together some real exciting stuff. Some possible events

include a weekly Farmer’s Market and a return of the Queen

of Hearts raffle.

There is always something fun happening at the Lodge so

drop in a couple of times a week, see old friends, try your

luck at liar’s dice, Keno, Lottery or meeting new folks. In the

words of Bob Barkers announcer Rod Roddy ~ “Come on

Down!”

I want to thank all the folks that kicked in to make our District

Meeting a success. We didn’t win much but the

accommodations (Bar, Food, Setup) were tops.

Pam is busy with tax season and we thank her for all the work

she put in for us.

Fraternally,

Nick Barbato

Please consider nominating or volunteering for office…we

NEED you! We promise it’s a very worthy and rewarding

experience and we will support, encourage, and help you along

the way. Our Chapter and Lodge are depending on you for your

help and input to keep this little train chugging along.

Hello Everyone –

As we head into 2017, we need to think

about where we are going and how we

can improve things at our Lodge.

Most of the housework has been done (Many thanks to Dale,

Jerry and Nick) so now we need to increase our

membership. If we don’t get more people involved, we will

slowly sink into the sunset!

For the next 3 months, there is a campaign going on that

waives all fees and dues for first responders and active

military. These are EXACTLY the people we need to get

involved! Let’s all try to think of someone we can bring in. I

know we all want to keep this Lodge open. Please consider

filling a Board position and pitching in to help. Our elections

are coming up in April and we NEED YOU!

We need an Administrator and Governor, along with several

other officers. If you have any questions, please talk to me.

Sincerely,

Lonnie Allison mailto:talknbear1@yahoo.com

So, happy am I to have our bartenders pretty

much in line. They’re being delivered their

marching orders (schedules) as this is written.

A Special Thank you from Judy Barbato

I just want to send out my personal thanks to Kim and Dennis

Martin AND Jerry and Georgia Zieman for stepping up at the

drop of a hat and coming in to help cook on more than one

occasion in the last month. You guys are lifesavers! Thanks for

being GREAT Moose members!

Spring Conference March 9th~ 12

th

Klamath Falls

It’s time to nominate our new board! Please submit your name and any position that you would like to hold. Our nominating committee will meet after each regular monthly meeting. The elections will be held on March 15th and Installations will be April 22nd. We are planning a High Tea luncheon on April 8th so mark your calendar! Our Fourth Annual Easter Egg hunt will be April 15th this year. We need lots of candy, quarters, and baskets. Alicia Bingham donated bags full of plastic eggs so we’re good there. Please put donations in the Blue Barrel. Thank you poker players for being so generous during our January fundraiser! Patty Stoerlle was our chairperson and the money goes toward Activities and Sports therapy at Mooseheart. The Rocker fundraiser is on! Please place your money in the box and your name on the Rocker form and tape it on the dining room door. All proceeds go directly to Moosehaven for Christmas. This year we donated $358.05 to 10 families for food and we spent a total of $1,469.49 for gifts for 32 children, $154 for gift cards for our sunshine grandparents and children making the total amount of $1,988.25. Thank you, thank you! I love all those who helped shop, wrap, deliver, and support us from the bottom of my heart! Also, another big thank you to Lucky's and the Dollar General store who donated to the Christmas Family Project. Our theme for the OMA conference this year is flower power. We need to make a centerpiece for one of the tables. If you have any ideas let me know. We are still collecting box tops and dimes in the bar and we will turn all this stuff in it at the conference in March. One more thank you and bless you as we donated $576, drove 175 miles, and worked 30 hours for our community. Also an additional $200 was donated to the Upper Rogue Community Center! Thank you for all your service and time! Please come to our meetings and give us new ideas and insights as to what you want to happen in our Lodge. Men and women both! We're here to work together and help our community.

Fraternally,

Co-worker of the Month Marla Allison

Marla’s name comes up a lot around here and there are plenty of good reasons for that! Between the newsletters, web updates, facebook postings, email blasts, Event Committee duties, and the Administrator’s office, she has a lot to do. Marla has been a vital cog in the wheel and we just want her to know that we really appreciate her and everything she does! Thank You Marla!

Volunteers of the Month

Jerry and Georgia Zieman

Jerry is our Go-To Guy whenever we have an issue or a problem here at the Lodge and he is quick to show up and lend a hand whenever we call! He has served on the LOOM Board in many capacities over the years and he really cares about this organization! Georgia has also been a part of the Upper Rogue Lodge for a long time and we are so happy that she is stepping up to make sure things run as smoothly as possible. It’s people like Jerry and Georgia that are keeping this ship afloat. Many thanks to you both for always being there for us!
