President's Message

Please Note: Due to the Lodge website not having an area for the Moose Legion chairman to write an article, this is from Anchorage Moose Legion chairman Terry McIntosh (who is also President of Mt. McKinley Moose Legion 51)
Hello Everybody,
I hope everyone had the best of holidays and I want to wish you all a Very Happy New Year!!!
Let me just start with a pat on the back, a hug and a high five for the great success of the $10,000 drawing. The volunteers, who helped make this event a glorious success, were many. I wanted to name each and everyone but knowing that I may forget one or misspell another I will just say to each and every one of you thank you. Also, if you were helped by a young person that night they were from Service High JROTC and they did a wonderful job.
If you still haven’t decided to take the next step in the fraternity, please, attend a Moose Legion meeting on the 2nd Sunday of each month, at 10:30am. I am looking forward to seeing all of you there.
Oyster feed is January 15 and we will be serving up all your favorite oyster recipes. So bring the family and join your friends that night (there will also be roast pork).
Well here is to another good year. We have many plans for the New Year and we hope you will be just as excited as I am. So keep reading your Nugget and the reader board for all the upcoming events.
At the Triple Play Conference I heard this poem, with this title, from a proud Moose Legionnaire that really hit home.
“Why didn't somebody tell me”?
I really wasn't aware
that I could join the Moose Legion
and be a Moose Legionnaire.
I have a lot of ideas that
would really help some others
and I know they could be accomplished
with help from the Moose Legion Brothers.
Why didn't somebody tell me?
I really wish I knew
that I could earn the Fellowship
and wear that Blazer of Blue!
It wouldn't have to stop at that
I could earn my Pilgrim Degree!!
Wouldn't it make my family proud
to see the Gold Blazer on me?
Why didn't somebody tell me?
It would have been just great,
but maybe there is still a chance,
maybe it's not too late!
Maybe I should join right now
and advance through each Degree.
Then I wouldn't have to ask,
Why didn't somebody tell me?

The Moose Legion currently has a couple of raffles going on and they are great items going for a great cause. There are 2 laptops we will be giving away on Superbowl Sunday with proceeds going towards the ballroom lighting project and a 58” plasma TV to be given away at the Kenai quarterly drawing and proceeds will go to Mount McKinley scholarship funds.
Thank you to all Moose Legionnaires who attended our meetings in November and December. A special thanks to Rich Hannah for filling in for me while I was at the Triple Play.
A few changes have been made to the Code of Rules for the Moose Legion and to the “Next Step In Fraternalism” agenda. Look for more information in the following months.
How are you doing with our current membership campaign? Are your next year’s Moose Legion dues being paid for you? Just as with your Lodge dues, sponsor two members into the Moose Legion, and your next year’s dues are paid.
Candidates eligible for membership must be conferred by April 30, 2011. So now is the time to ask Lodge members who qualify if they would like to be part of the Degree of Service. To be qualified for the Moose Legion membership, you must be a Moose member for one year and sponsored one member into the Lodge, or have been a member for six months and sponsored three members into the Lodge. The application fee is FREE this year and membership dues are only $15 per year. A part of the dues goes to Mooseheart and Moosehaven for their operating expense and for projects that are needed to be done. Is someone you know eligible to join the Moose Legion? You may be surprised that you know someone who is. (Check and see if your name is on the list published in this issue of the Nugget)

Moose Legion Elections for Mount McKinley 51 will be held in Kenai at the Quarterly on April 2nd and 3rd. The five (5) elected positions are President, Vice-President, Chaplain, Fraternal Director and Financial Director.
A Moose Legionnaire wishing to be considered for nomination shall submit his name in writing, designating the particular office he desires. The Nominating Committee shall consider all names submitted and select from these names, or other names approved by the committee, at least one (1) candidate for the offices of President, Vice-President, Chaplain, Fraternal Director, and Financial Director respectively. However, certain requirements and qualifications are necessary for nomination to the office of President.
The "Endowment Fund Competition" standings for the 2010/2011 Moose fiscal year through the month of October (does not reflect November and Decembers contributions, which may have put us in 2nd place, where we were last year) in the category of "CHARITY" which consists of Moose Legions with 201 to 300 Moose Legionnaires is as follows:

1. Cordell Hull Moose Legion #75 (TN) with total donations of $1,411.80 which breaks down to $6.79 per Moose Legionnaire.

2. Alaska Panhandle Moose Legion #215 (AK) with total donations of $1,519.34 which breaks down to $6.28 per Moose Legionnaire.

3. Mount McKinley Moose Legion #51 (AK) with total donations of $1,018.74 which breaks down to $3.53 per Moose Legionnaire.
My closing thoughts:
The wide and varied make up of the Moose membership is what really brings us all so close because even with those different backgrounds we have several similar interests. We believe in caring for others, especially children and those in their golden years of life. Both these groups depend on others for support and basic substance.
Best wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year and as always, remember to do some good thing for someone each day!
Terry McIntosh
Moose Legion Chairman
