GOVERNOR’S GAVEL
See you in July!
ADMINISTRATOR’S CORNER
Let’s go Up on the Roof!
Members— Our Lodge has a New Roof!!! Thank you Moose International, and most importantly thank you to our members for supporting your building fund and for the up-keep of our Lodge and it’s surroundings! We appreciate your continued volunteerism and financial support of dinner and bingo, special events, pop-up dinners, and special fundraisers to support our Lodge building and operations. We have just begun to renovate our Lodge. We will re-move and replace damaged ceiling tiles now that we can keep the wet weather outside where it belongs! We have repaired all lights in our parking lots.
Save the Dates of mid-May when we will be asking for vol-unteers to help paint the outside of our Lodge. The old will become new again! Also, watch for coming details of Corn-hole Nights and Tournaments!
Fraternally yours, Jimmy Burcham, Acting Administrator

Please take the time to ask someone to be a member of the Moose Legion.

A Message From Your Outgoing Senior Regent
A Chapter of Leaders,
Flashback to a year ago and, as your Senior Regent, I stated “it takes a village of volunteers to have a suc-cessful chapter year!” Our village, our volunteers, our chapter, came together as a Chapter of Leaders! Wow, what a SUCCESSFUL YEAR we have achieved! Each co-worker in our chapter became a leader of fundraisers and leaders of planning events, cooking, decorating, creating fun events, promoting financial transparency, accountability, respect, teaching, increasing member-ship, supporting the Mooseheart children, supporting the Moosehaven seniors, supporting our fraternal lodge and improving community service and outreach in Colonial Heights and Chesterfield County. Most importantly, you, my co-workers became individual Leaders of Vil-lage/Chapter Teamwork within our Chapter, our Lodge and with other Lodges!
Thank you very much for Being Your Own Chapter Leader!
I wish much success to our incoming Senior Regent, Carol Morton, and her leaders!
With gratitude and respect, Judy Crocker, Outgoing Senior Regent CHWOTM #131
