Dear
Co-Workers, Congratulations
to all of our new Star Recorders! You are part of the 252 co-workers who
received the Star Recorder Degree in June in Las
Vegas, and we're
very proud of you. I'm sure each of you had a wonderful Chapter Activity
night or afternoon in honor of your accomplishments. I know that your
chapter appreciates all of the many hours you have devoted to keeping the
Chapter's finances and records. Thanks, and again, congratulations.
A special thank you to all of the Past and Present Dignitaries who conducted the
numerous RTT, RATT, and Executive Sessions and the make-up sessions to teach the
Recorders, Audit Committees and Co-Workers the latest information from Moose
International
about the operation of our Chapters. We appreciate all of the time and
effort you have given to these sessions! Please
remember to support the "Gimme 5" program - a nickel in the morning
and a nickel in the evening to support our children at Mooseheart. Other
ideas: (1) some chapters have co-workers sign a ticket (or small slip of
paper) as they enter the Chapter meeting. After the Endowment Fund, a
special collection is taken, and co-workers put in their name ticket along with
their contribution. When $36.50 has been collected, all of the tickets are
put in a container, and one ticket is drawn. The $36.50 (representing a
one-year donation) is then sent to Moose Charities, earmarked for the "Gimme
5" program in that Co-Workers name. This continues again and again
throughout the chapter year. (2) In some Chapters, co-workers have held a
special fund-raising activity/project for "Gimme 5" and have raised as
much as the $182.50 for the full 5 -year donation. Be creative and help us
help our children. Please
support the Box Top and Campbell's Labels for Education programs, also to
benefit the schools and children at Mooseheart. These two websites, as
well as other Moose Charities Partnership Programs websites, which give
informatioon about how we can help our children at Mooseheart, are listed below:
www.boxtops4education.com:
www.labelsforeducation.com;
www.target.com/tcoe; www.cartridgesforkids.com;
www.goodsearch.com; www.goodsearch.com/goodshop.aspx;
www.goplaylabels.com; www.mycokerewards.com; and www.tyson.com/projectaplus.com.
Please check out these sites as they don't cost you anything (other than what
you normally purchase, and the time to clip the labels, boxtops, etc.), but will
help out tremendously. Another
important website to visit is our own N.Y.S. Moose Association website which is
being kept current by Dan Saikkonen. He enters information and events for
lodges and chapters on an almost daily basis. He's doing an excellent job,
so send your chapter events to him at dsaikkonen@yahoo.com
and he will put them on the website: www.nysma.info.
Thanks, Dan! I
will be in Myrtle Beach, S.C. during Jan., Feb. and half of March, but I will
only be an e-mail (janetchaffee@gmail.com) or a cell phone call (607-661-6071)
away. Please contact me if you need anything. Remember
to mark April
2-5, 2009 on your
calendar for the Mid-Year Conference at the Holiday
Inn in Grand
Island. Gowanda is the Hostess Chapter, and Jan Fregulia, Executive
Director of Moose Charities at Moose International will be our Official
Visitor. It's always a great pleasure and a wonderful learning experience
to have Jan with us in N.Y. S. Please see the registration form included
in this bulletin, which you may use. Also, more information will be
included in the Feb./March issue of "The
Bulletin". Co-Workers
and Brothers, Elliott and I wish each and every one of you a very Happy Holiday
Season! Whether you celebrate Christmas,
Hanukkah,
or Kwanzaa,
we hope you enjoy this time together with your family and friends. Best
wishes for a healthy and Happy New Year. May
2009 be a year
that is "Beyond Belief!" Fraternally, Janet
Chaffee, DGR
