Dear Members;

As of the time of this newsletter, it’s snowing here in Lynchburg. I hope everyone stayed warm and safe.

The convention in Norfolk was very good, with lots of current information and general laws reviewed.

I am proud to announce that Moose Lodge 715 won the Tommy Moose Auction this year, and a VMA board member will present this honor to our lodge at an upcoming membership meeting.

As many of you know, I underwent another surgery recently and am a little exhausted currently.

We have had a couple events lately and have many more planned for the “Season”.

Thanks to all that helped and participated to make these events successful.

I look forward to sharing the holiday season with all of our members and family's.

If there are any needs that you feel the Fraternity can assist with, please put it in writing and submit to any board member or leave a letter behind the bar.

Have a great month and do something good for somebody every day !!

THAT’S NOT MY JOB!

This is a story about four people named: Everybody. Somebody. Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anyboby could have done.

I want to start by thanking the members that take time out of their schedules to attend our membership meetings; these meetings allow our members to stay informed of all the great things that our lodge has to offer and also gives you, the member, a chance to have a voice in activities at our lodge.

Remember that volunteers are always needed at the lodge.

Brothers and Sisters

There’s a lot of misinformation going around about the new meeting agendas. While there may be changes regarding the setup of the room there is still an opening and closing prayer as well as the 9 O’clock ceremony and endowment collection.

All of the usual business is still conducted. I wonder how many of those piping up actually attend meetings on a regular basis anyway? Maybe if more people would attend meetings they would be more informed to the actual facts instead of the gossip and word of mouth misinformation.

Our lodge is like a wagon. If too many people want a free ride and there’s no one left to pull it… we go nowhere.

Fraternally
