Moose Lodge 495 / WOTM Chapter 444 Home

Dear Brothers and Co-Workers
We are at the start of another Moose year. We were fortunate in making our membership quota last year. This year our quota is once again 124 . This is do-able. We need to bring our qualified friends in to see the benefits of membership in the Loyal Order of Moose. We have some of the best food around and the price is right. We have been having crabs on wed evenings for $25.00 a dozen. The same crabs are $35 to $40 any where else and still members drive past the lodge to go somewhere else to get crabs and pay twice as much for the beer to go with them. This makes it hard for us to continue to try to bring you a quality product .at an unbeatable price. That being said this is as good a time as any to announce we will be discontinuing crabs on Wed evenings. Please plan to attend our Crab feast on Aug 7 2010.
Please come out and support the Lodge. I know there are other things going on during the summer .We have to maintain this building whether it is in use or not, so please come out and support the lodge.
If there is another event or function you want to suggest Please do!
We now have a new Wii game in the Social Quarters so you may want to try your hand at bowling or any of the other games available.
As all of you know we are a not for profit Community Service Organization. We are always interested in a good cause. We don’t know where our help is needed if no-one tells us. We get our best publicity from those we help so let us know where and when we are needed and we will be glad to jump in and lend a hand.
Please check out our page at lodge495@moosepages.org. At this site you can see an up to date calendar with flyers posted to show upcoming events. Thank You
Charles Wilkerson
p.s. We will be stopping Bingo on Wed evenings until further notice.
This is a shame because several members really enjoy this. This is also a good time to introduce your friends to the Moose. Because the moose has a valid Bingo license.you don’t need to be a member to play. What a great time to show friends our facility. Keep this in mind when we start it back up this fall.

July/August

Hello Brothers and Co-Workers

Well here we are two months in the new Moose year. A new year means new officers both for the men and the women, I feel we are lucky to have almost the same board of officers as we did last year except for the addition of a new 3 year trustee Erik Williams, I believe he will bring some good ideas to the new board. I would like to thank Whitey for the great job he did last year as our Governor.
I would also like to thank every member who signed up a new member last year, with your hard work you helped us to meet or membership quota for 2009-2010 and with everybody’s help we raised a good amount of money for Moose charities and other local charities. When the Officers of this Lodge go to the MD-DE-DC conference in Ocean City and the MD Moose Association convention in Hagerstown, Mechanicsville Family Center is always one of the top lodges in the Association for donations, this is something for everybody to be proud of; it also shows our commitment to support the children and seniors of Moose Heart and Moose Haven.
Summer time is here and this is notoriously our slowest time of the year at the Lodge, with people going on vacations and other outdoor activates going on, however we still have lots of things here at the Lodge for you to do. If you would like to come join us, we have members Texas holdem on Sundays, Pitch league and Horseshoes on Mondays, Shrimp by the ½ lb. on Wednesdays, members Texas holdem on Thursdays and Dinner and Dance every Friday. If there are other activities you would like to have at the Lodge just write a note to the Board of Officers and give it to the bartender they will make sure it gets to us and I assure you the board will entertain all suggestions. We all joined this Lodge for a reason; we must have things that keep members coming back and also new activities that attract new members to come and join, we also need members to step up and help out with both old and new activities at the Lodge.
In closing I would like to thank our Social Quarters manager and all of the bartenders who work so hard to please our costumers, our bartenders are the very first person most people who come threw the front door will talk to, and we all know what first impressions can mean to people, When we go to other Lodges or talk to people at district meetings they have nothing but good things to say about our bartenders. Most of our members will tell you this is the friendliest place in town to come socialize, and the food is always excellent, you will not get more for your money at any other establishment in town. So until next time please keep supporting your Lodge.

Fraternally yours,
Jack Lafon

Dear Co-Workers,
I would like to thank our new Board Members for doing such a great job. Michelle Hughes is doing an awesome job with the children of the Lodge. She has started a program called Minnie Moose that is designed to get our children involved in the Moose Lodge and also in the community. The Minnie mouse meetings are on Thursdays; the children love it and if you would like your child to participate please give Michelle a call at: 301-641-5000.
Our dinners have been a great success many thanks to Steve Morgan , Saundra Liberto and Dolores Slack. We could not do it without you.
I would like to thank everyone who helped at the benefit for the Special Olympics. It was a huge success. Dave and Joanne Alexander did an outstanding job planning and organizing this event. Three Day Ride “Rocked the House”.
Be sure to read your bimonthly bulletins for up coming events, and again we thank everyone for their continued support.

Sincerely Susan Hunt
