Gimme 5

          “GIMME FIVE”---What is it? Nothing More or Less, Than a Simple pan to Help Ensure The Future of Mooseheart and Moosehaven. Five Cents—set aside from the change you pour into your pocket or purse in the morning. Five more cents set aside from the change you empty from your pocket or purse in the evening. Just that: a nickel in the morning, a nickel in the evening, set aside and sent to Moose Charities, for the kids at Mooseheart and the seniors of Mooseheaven. That’s the new “ GIMME FIVE” program—it’s really nothing more than that. It’s that simple—but participating in “Gimme Five” can be even simpler: Instead of trying to remember to physically set aside a nickel in the morning and a nickel in the evening from now through 2012, you can…--Mail Moose Charities a check for your annual “Gimme Five” contribution of $36.50 or all five years at once for $182.50, to Moose Charities, 155 S. International Dr., Mooseheart, IL 60539-110. Any questions, please phone Moose Charities at 630-966-2200

Please Note

The board of Officers is asking each and every member to help create a more cordial atmosphere. Please be careful of your language while socializing at the lodge and be courteous to those around you. Profanity will not be tolerated. The bartenders will be cracking down on this and will take appropriate action if warranted. At times the bartenders must take the responsibility of not serving a visibly intoxicated person any more alcohol. We ask you be understanding and courteous to their request: they are trying to keep you safe.

If you sign in a guest they are your responsibility. They are not allowed to purchase anything while at the lodge and they must leave when you do. The bartenders will be enforcing these rules. Please give them the respect and friendliness they deserve while performing their duties. It is difficult enough without being hassled about doing their jobs. Thank you all for your understanding in these matters. 

PA. CLEAN AIR ACT

 Effective Sept. 11, 2008 the officers have voted to make the Huntingdon Moose Family Center a designated smoking club at this time. Smoking will be permitted during all club sponsored events unless otherwise posted.

SHOW YOUR CARD WHEN ENTERING THE MOOSE

 It has been brought to our attention that a few months ago there was an agent from the Liquor Control Board in our Lodge and was allegedly served without being carded. This can NEVER happen. PLEASE be prepared to show your membership card when sitting down and please show it proudly. After all, you are a member of the world’s Greatest Fraternity. Why would you complain when asked to show your membership card? Show that card and be proud to do it!!

   Before you quit

Sometime, somewhere and somehow, someone will get you upset because you didn't get waited on fast enough, or they argued with you about something,

or you felt you got cheated out of something and you will tell the Moose to stick their membership card in their ear.  Remember this - it wasn't the

Moose, or the children, or the seniors that got you upset.  It was an individual and in most cases, someone that had nothing to do with the reasons

why you joined.  Before you quit, remember why you joined.  Before you quit, remember why you should continue to pay your dues.  Before you quit,

remember you are not hurting anyone but yourself because now you will no longer be able to enjoy the "benefits and blessings of both Mooseheart and

Moosehaven", as well as, the benefits of the lodge activities and fraternal events over the rest of your years.  Before you quit, think about why

you joined and why you paid dues all these years.
