Triple Play Seminar
On behalf of the Director of Moose Legion and the International Moose Legion Council, I would like to thank everyone who attended the Moose Legion portion of the Triple Play Seminar. A lot of information was passed on and I am hoping those in attendance will go home and pass it on. We had a lot of interaction and I think the seminar went great. Many thanks for everyone’s input!!!!!
The Next Step in Fraternalism
We are completing the changes to the Next Step in Fraternalism. The biggest change to it is that we now have a different set up of how Celebrations are conducted. We will now have a Board of Directors meeting, which can be held at your discretion. We will then have a Business meeting to approve the Board of Directors decisions and for any other business that needs to be voted on by the Moose Legion membership. This Business meeting is for all active status Moose Legionnaires. We will then follow with the Conferral of candidates and reports from Committee Chairman. This part of the Celebration is open to all Active status Moose Legionnaires, their lady and invited guests. We are hoping this simplifies the meeting procedures. We hope to have the new printed version by the first of the year.
Code of Rules
We have also completed the amendments to the Code of Rules. In order to comply with the General Laws several changes needed to be made. You can find all the changes on the International website. This is the third change to the Code since its last printing. Copies will be available for purchase from the Catalog Sales Department by the middle of December.
Lodge Moose Legion Committees
I cannot express enough how important this Committee is not only to the Moose Legion Jurisdiction but also the Lodge. It is a fact that a Lodge with an active and strong Moose Legion Committee is a strong and prosperous Lodge. Remind your Lodge Governor he is now required to name a Chairman and have an active Moose Legion Committee. To the Chairman, let’s get them activities rolling not only for the Moose Legionnaires of the Lodge but also the Lodge itself. Let’s make it our goal to close that backdoor for good.
Donna and I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving Holiday!!! Let us not forget those who continue to ensure our freedom and to those who have done so in the past. Wishing you all Godspeed.
Sincerely & Fraternally
Bruce J Berger
Intl. Moose Legion
President

Hi everyone,

Just want to let you know that two more girls from Waterloo were accepted for admission to Mooseheart! They are in 4th and 8th grade. Their sister isn't in Iowa at this time, but will be admitted when she returns. They have a single father who is working full time nights, going to college full time and plans to be a police officer. He will be attending the Police Academy next spring, and is concerned that his daughters were left alone all night.

Iowa Falls is the sponsoring Lodge.

This brings a total of 27 sponsored students from Iowa Eastern Nebraska. We have two more applications that Mooseheart is beginning to evaluate.

thanks for all your support!

Lloyd and Rae

Upcoming events! Sunday Labor Day Weekend – Two person best ball golf tournament, signup sheet is in the social quarters. The tournament is open to all active members. This year we are able to have a shotgun start so we will all finish close to the same time. We will proceed to the lodge for a burger fest and prizes. We have three raffles on the way. The first is a wagon of booze. Tickets are $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00 and the booze (without the wagon) will be given away after the golf tournament at the lodge. Next, we have a one night stay with brunch at the Holiday Inn Coralville to be given away at half time of the Hawkeye Homecoming game. Also there is a raffle for a $500.00 tire credit at Dodge Street Tire. This also includes a car detailing by Hanson Auto Body. This will be given on October 30, maybe at a Halloween party. Congratulations!! T he next time you see Brian Sekafetz or Doug Green be sure to congratulate them. Brian has been elected State Prelate of IA.-E.NE. Moose Association. Doug Green is the latest Iowa City Moose Lodge 1096 member to be elevated to the Fellowship Degree of Honor.

What a tremendous concept! The Time is Now to sponsor 2 new or reenrolled Moose Legionnaires this year and every year for the foreseeable future. With close to 250,000 members qualified, every Member in active status should be able to accomplish this.

I feel we provide all the material needed. Your Moose Legion Secretary receives a list of the qualified members on a monthly basis. He is to then forward this list to either his Asst. Secretary, Lodge MLC Chairman or to the Lodge itself.

We are hoping that once received at the Lodge the list is shared with Moose Legionnaires and posted on the bulletin board for all to see. If this is not happening, please contact your Moose Legion Ambassador or Area Manager.
