GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE SENIOR REGENT’S

MESSAGE

At the Moose International Convention in Tampa, our Lodge was fortunate to receive the Premier Lodge

Award, one of the two lodges in our District to do so. Thank you all for making it possible and congratulations

to all who support our lodge. The no smoking proposal did not pass, so there is no change in the smoking policy,

at this time. We were also awarded the 2nd place award for Journalism (Moose Call), congratulations Tara!

For those of you who would rather have your Moose Call received via e-mail rather than snail mail,

please let the office know.

While in Florida we did have an opportunity to visit Moosehaven where we got to meet our Moosehaven

Grandparents. They were extremely happy being there and showed us their apartment and the new Centennial

project. The walls are ready to be raised and put together. It will be a big improvement for the

residents that will occupy the new facility upon completion.

Fraternally yours,

Joe Zenkus

Administrators Report

This is being written July 13th, nearly half way

through a very busy month. Already past is Moose In-

ternational Convention, Tampa, Florida, 4th of July (a

successful fireworks sale thanks to Travis and all his

volunteers). Up coming at our lodge is a meeting of the

Higher Degree, a Moose Legion Conferral, a District

Meeting and a party for our new Collegian and Star Re-

corder. And as you read this that is all history. And

even though it was hot and humid at convention it was

as always informative.

One of the interesting things we learned was that

our Director General Scott Hart went out like the TV

series Under Cover Boss, to see for himself what the

average lodge was like. He was in Oregon, Washing-

ton, Tennessee, West Virginia, and many other places.

Some were good, some not so, and some really bad. So

I ask that each of you, all lodge and chapter members, if

you meet someone new in the lodge, man or woman,

young or old treat them with respect and make a friend.

Bartenders and door people keep checking those cards.

And please folks be proud to show your card. If

Brother Hart should come here I want our lodge to be at

the top of his good list.

One last thing, Sunday August 6 is Brother Joe

Zenkus’s Pilgrim Presentation at 1pm. The Pilgrim Rit-

ual Team Will preside.

Till next month,

Gary Gildemeister Gov

ALOHA! Yes, it’s almost luau time

again. Tickets are on sale now for the August

12th luau with the Catfish Hunter Band. Look

for the decorated table in the lobby to get your

tickets early. Tickets are $25 each and will fea-

ture roasted pig, turkey, and a lot of other great

food! There will not be reserved seating this

year so make sure you get here early!

I want to congratulate Donna Martinez

who earned the title “Star Recorder” while at

the Tampa convention. Bobbie Olivar also be-

came our newest Collegiate. Great job ladies,

you make us proud!

I have chosen Pat Vasquez as this

month’s “Special Moosette.” Pat helped cover

the WOTM office, she is always working in the

kitchen, and willing to fill in whenever and

wherever she is needed. Thank you, Pat for all

you do!
