LOOM Special Meeting

All LOOM Members are hereby notified of a special meeting to be

held at 7:30 PM on Tuesday February 14th. The following topics will

be on the agenda. Any member who has an interest in any or all of

these topics is encouraged to attend.

1. Discussion and vote on a proposal by the Board of Officers to

add an additional 20 years to the length of our current cell tower

which expires in 11 years. This would effectively increase the

lease period to 31 years from today.

2. Discussion and vote on a proposal by the Board of Officers to

donate our 2 unused big screen TVs to the Quincy Lodge and to

donate our 4 unused small screen TVs to the Sr. Center.

LOOM Board of Officers

Greetings from your Governor

The New Year began with a great New Year’s Eve party that was well attended.

Lew Pinson prepared some great food, and from all reports everyone had a great

time.

As I write this article the new dance floor and the new carpet in the adjoining

area are essentially complete with only a few small items needing to be completed.

These should be finished by the time you read this report. Also, as I write this

report, two of the three new TVs have been installed and the third one will be

installed in the game room by the time you read this Newsletter. From all reports I

have heard these improvements are appreciated by our members. A special

thanks to Tommy Long for his work in conjunction with the new floors and Wayne

Bryan for installing the new Televisions. Personally I want thank Richard

Williamson for putting these projects together and making them happen.

On Saturday February 18th we will have a short ceremony to dedicate the new

large flat screen television in the Social Quarters to Michael Kuhn who gave the

funds to the Lodge for this purchase in his Will. The ceremony will be at 4:00

followed by free snacks and drinks until 6:00 as requested by Michael in his Will.

Please join us as we remember and honor Michael.

A Special Meeting will be held by the Lodge on February 14th to address a

couple of issues. Please see the ad in this newsletter.

We have many maintenance chores that need to be done periodically to keep

the Lodge operating smoothly. One of these tasks is to clean the filter over the

stove in the kitchen. It takes quite a bit of time and is messy. Thanks to Fred

Osbourne for doing this essential task. While on this topic, we desperately need

someone or some group to volunteer to give the kitchen a good cleaning on a

designated schedule. Please volunteer and help your Lodge.

This is the time of year we begin the process to elect a new Board of Officers.

If you want to run for an office, sign up with Richard Williamson by February 21st.

The Nominating Committee made up of the current Board of Officers, Past

Governors, and Pilgrims will meet following the Business Meetings on February

21st, March 6th and March 20th. The election of the new officers will be held on April

3rd. Step forward and sign up to serve your Lodge.

Fraternally, Bob Greer, Governor

TALLAHASSEE MOOSE LODGE #1075 -MOOSE LEGION COMMITTEE

Our next Moose Legion meeting will be on February 6th at 6:30 pm. The meat

will be provided so please bring a covered dish or dessert. We had a real good

time at the Moose Legion Celebration in Quincy and if you missed it you should

not have. The next District meeting will be on February 12th at the Moose Lodge

in Wakulla. Please plan to attend if you can and support our Moose Legion. One

of our legion members, Ray Walke, has died on Friday January 20th. Please

keep his family in your prayers. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Phone book listing change…

Attention all members… we have changed our listing in the phone

book to “Moose Lodge 1075”… In case you need to look us up…

How can I get my Moose Prints faster?

And in FULL COLOR? That’s easy! We can email you a copy of your Moose Prints as soon

as it’s completed, and you’ll receive it about a week faster than your

friends who receive their paper copy in the mail. The added bonus is

that you are saving your Lodge and Chapter money in paper and

mailing costs. The more money we make the more we can help our

charities! And you might just save a few trees in the process. Just

send your email address and the name your newsletter is currently

mailed to, to bluedachsund78@gmail.com, and ask to be added to

the email list for Moose Prints!

Two Memorial Services in February

Sunday, February 5 at 3:00 pm

Memorial Service for

Charles R. McKinney

This will be a very casual

memorial, in full Charles fashion.

We’re going to have beer and

snacks and tell our favorite

Charles stories.

Charles wasn’t much for pomp

and circumstance, but he is

missed!

Saturday, February 18 at 4:00 pm

Memorial Service for

Michael Kuhn

At Michael’s request, the lodge

bought the new large flat screen

TV in the social quarters with the

gift that he left us in his will. We

are going to dedicate this TV to

his memory with a short

ceremony at 4:00 followed by free

snacks and drinks until 6:00 pm.

Please help us to honor both of our lost brothers

From the Desk of the Senior Regent

I would like to thank all those that participated in the Youth Involvement Committee’s chili cook-off

and a special thanks to Jerry Monk, Lynn Lease and Alma Henley for serving as our judges. You did

an outstanding job even if I did not win. A good time was had by all. Another special thanks to

Ronald Murphy, Joe Wyrick and Wade Bennett for helping with the setting up and taking down of the

tables.

Alma Henley sends a big thanks to all that participated in the College of Regent’s blanket drive. We

collected a huge box of blankets and they were donated to the Chelsea House. Good job coworkers.

February is going to be another busy and fun month. The Academy of Friendship is sponsoring the

Valentine Dinner/Dance on February 11th. Tickets will be on sale starting January 27th for $25.00

per couple or $15.00 each and may be purchased from Donna in the Social Quarters, or any member

of the Academy of Friendship. We will also be selling roses at the dinner for your favorite sweetheart.

Please bring your donations for the Valentine basket to the lodge before February 11th. A special

dinner is planned consisting of steamboat round roast beef, garlic roasted potatoes, vegetables and

cake.

The College of Regents will be sponsoring the Supper Club dinner and entertainment to be held

March 10th. The tickets will be $12.00 each and will be on sale after the Valentine dinner. If you are

interested in being in the show please see Alma Henley or one of the College of Regents members

for information and to be added to the program. The first practice will be on Thursday, February 9th

at 7:00 p.m. and each Thursday night until the week of the event.

The Community Services Committee will be having a spring garden basket raffle on February 24th at

the 10:30 drawing. We are in need of donations for the raffle basket. Please bring any donations for

the spring garden basket to the lodge or get them to Pat Browder. Tickets for this basket will go on

sale on February 10th. Also don’t forget about the Craft Fair to be held on March 24th and get your

applications into WOTM by March 19th.

The Women of the Moose will be having our special Ways and Means meeting February 16th at 7:00

p.m. and this will be an open meeting. Both men and women are welcome and we look forward to

having a good crowd. Any guest you may want to invite is also welcome. The practice for the Supper

Club for this week will be immediately after the meeting.

Nominations are now being collected for officers in WOTM. If you are interested in serving your

Chapter as an officer, please complete the form located on the bulletin board in the foyer at the lodge

and place it in the nomination box or give it to any of the WOTM officers. The Nominating Committee

will meet on February 13th, 20th and 27th at 6:00 P.M.

Help us to create some interest by letting all your family and friends know that they may now join by

only paying the $30.00 annual membership dues through April and that if they sponsor 2 members

before the end of April their dues will be paid for the coming year.

Hope everyone has a good spring!

Greeting From Your Administrator,

What makes our Lodge and all Lodges successful are its volunteers. Without them our success would

be minimal. Our volunteers in Bingo are the life blood of the financial success of our Lodge. Without a

successful Bingo Program, our Lodge would be a totally different place. Anyone who thinks otherwise is

flat out wrong. I, for one, truly appreciate our Bingo volunteers as I know you are the ones, even if you

do not realize it, which makes our Lodge financially secure and allows us to have the outstanding facility

that we have and enables us to support the activities that we have all come to enjoy. The problem is that

the same few dedicated volunteers continue to pull the entire load. We have to same problem with the

Wednesday and Friday night Dinners. The same few dedicated volunteers pull the entire load in our

kitchen which enables all our members to have a nice place to come and enjoy a fine meal at a very

modest price. I would venture to say that 95% of our members, which is approximately 900 people, have

not set foot in our kitchen to help out in the past year. We also have the same problem with the repair

and maintenance work that has to be done around our Lodge. This Lodge belongs to all the members

and it is the responsibility of each and every one of you to do your fair share to keep us successful.

Then there are those of you who, for whatever reason I do not understand, believe that it is the members

of the Board of Officers responsibility to do all this volunteer work. I wish those of you who believe this

would show me in the Moose International by Laws, which list the duties and responsibilities of each

officer position, that it is the duty of the Board of Officers cook, clean, repair, etc. Yes, they should do

their fair share but it is just as much the responsibility each member to volunteer their time as it is a

member of the Board of Officers. I have no doubt this is one of the main reasons no one wants to run for

office. Getting members to volunteer and help out around our Lodge is getting to the critical stage. If

you do not think so, you are wrong. I can assure you that if things do not change by the time our next

fiscal year begins on May 1st, some of the activities that we have all come to enjoy and take for granted,

such as the Wednesday and Friday night dinners, may become a thing of the past. Generally speaking,

the new Governor who takes office on May 1st recruits kitchen crews to volunteer and commit to a

specific Wednesday or Friday night each month during the New Year. If we cannot get volunteers, there

will be no meals. This is a problem we all need to take seriously if we want to continue to have the best

place in town to go and have fun.

The Board of Officers are proud to announce the distribution of 4th Quarter (Oct., Nov., & Dec.) Bingo

profits in the amount of $26,000. The Distributions are as follows:

$5,500 – Endowment Fund

$9,000 – LOOM picked Charities ($2,000 Big Bend Hospice; $2,000 MDA; $1,000 Ronald McDonald

House; $1,000 Leon Co. Humane Society; $1,000 Teen Challenge; $1,000 St. Jude
