Good Morning, I hope this email finds you doing well. I wanted to say thank you again for the Easter egg donation. We really appreciate the support! I have at-tached a formal thank you letter for the Moose Lodge. I would greatly ap-preciate you sharing our deepest thanks to your organization. Thank you again! Tabitha R. Martinez, M.Ed.

Hopewell, had an incident at the plant that caused
low or no water pressure, water restrictions and lat-
er, boil water notices. This incident occurred on the
day of our Friday night dinner, which happened to
be the highly desired Prime Rib night. After speak-
ing with sources close to the water authority and
board officers, the decision was made to close the
lodge entirely. This decision was made in interest
of food safety and handling and the welfare of our
members. Our new electronic sign was immediately
filled with emergency notification messages regard-
ing our status. The lodge voicemail was updated
daily. Our dedicated volunteer communications
staff, immediately went to work sending out Face-
book posts not only on the status of the lodge but
on the status of the water authority and the city of
Hopewell. After closing the lodge, along with other
establishments in the city, we received a notice
from the Health Dept., advising of precautions and
steps to take regarding serving and sanitary require-
ments.
Based on this information, we made the difficult
decision to cancel the Easter Egg party and Valued
Veterans meeting on Saturday. Saturday morning,
after receiving updates from the water authority, the
decision was made to reopen at 4pm. Precautions
were put in place and all staff were briefed on prop-
er and safe serving and preparation of foods. The
lodge returned to full service on Sunday Apr 2.
The board of officers has been tasked with writing
an Emergency Action Plan for the lodge, something
never undertaken before. The board currently has
evacuation plans for the lodge written and are
awaiting finalization. We are formatting the re-
sponse to this water incident, for the EAP. The
door to the Social Quarters will remain closed AT
ALL TIMES, as a step in our EAP,
. Brad Ozmore, Administrator
Governors Message
As we enter the new year of our LOOM Board
of Officers, there is much work to do but aid-
ed by the years of work of those before us. It
is the duty of this Board of Officers, these vol-
unteers that work hard, to do the best and most
that they can do to benefit: our Lodge, mem-
bers, community and our Moose charities.
These gentlemen are dedicated to doing what
they can to make our Moose, the best it can
be. However, this is made easier when we
have the support and involvement of our
members. Please don't set back and watch,
get involved. You can do this by volunteer-
ing, participating and attending meetings and
events. A task for one is made far easier with
the power of many.
As we move forward through the next year,
this LOOM Board of Officers is dedicated to
making our Lodge a better, safer and more
enjoyable home for all. We have already be-
gun this with the upgrade to the Kid's Room
with at 16 FT TV, (yep, 192 inches), the paint-
ing and new floor of our entrance way, the
addition of the electronic signage near our
property entrance, the addition of more VTab
machines, addition of Friday Night Live enter-
tainment and more future updates consisting
of the repaving of our parking lot and possibly
more updates to come.
Your Lodge, My Lodge, Our Lodge, it is what
we make of it. Don't just bring a complaint,
bring a suggestion & be prepared to contribute
to the fix.
Fraternally,
Brian Carpenter, Governor

Thank you to
EVERYONE who
helped with the
“Quarter Auction”
fundraiser. With your
help, we were able to
raise over $1,200.00
of much needed funds.
The auction required
A LOT of manpower
to get it off the
ground, and for the actual event itself. Thank you to all who donated items, helped make paddles,
helped set-up & organize (all that loading & lifting!!!), to those of you who helped share the event on
social media, helped work all the stations (14 volunteers that night), and prepare baked goods and food
for concessions. Lastly, thank you to everyone that attended and help support this fundraiser, and to the
Men’s Board of Officers for allowing us to use the ballroom and provide the storage of the items for
several weeks prior. I would also like to personally thank Marvin & Barbara Nester for sharing this
unique idea for fundraising with me. Together, we all made it happen!
With Much Appreciation,
Dawn Ozmore

ward a common goal. The ability to direct indi-

“Volunteer of the Quarter”
Congratulations to TANJU SONUPARLAK, for being named “Volunteer of the Quarter”. For over four years,
Tanju has assisted the lodge kitchen with Bingo sessions; running food orders, assisting with food preparations, and lending a helping hand wherever she is needed. She
always arrives with a smile and makes an effort to greet everyone in her path with a kind word. Our lodge is open seven days a week, and we have activities and events al-
most daily. We depend on volunteers like her, in order to function seamlessly. Thank you Tanju, for your time that you have generously given to our lodge. We appreciate
you.
