A message from the Northeast Moose Association.
Preparing a lodge for the next fiscal year is so important, listed below are all the potential positions that can be filled by you by being a Moose Legion or WOTM Chapter member..

As you can see the importance of getting members involved is critical and it strengthens a lodge’s leadership. A core responsibility of an incoming president is to recruit members to chair committees and participate in helping to run a lodge.

As your nominating committees are working hard to bring together a strong lodge board that is excited about leading our lodge into the new fiscal year (May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2025) remember that we are a member/volunteer organization with full time working members, so be kind and mentor.

A forgotten benefit in our Moose organization is that you are provided an opportunity to learn leadership skills, and this element of membership as been lost and should be reinvigorated. An individual in their personal life may never have an opportunity to be part of a leadership position where you make decisions for an organization and our Moose organization gives EVERY member that opportunity!

Bringing a lodge back to its founding principles reminds us all that this concept is about working together and it takes the right mindset, mentorship, and leadership to make that happen.

Nominations are still being accepted for all board positions. The cut off date for nominations is 3/29.

"There’s a Reason We Do the Things We Do
By MIKE RIOS/Director, Membership
We have a lot of lodges doing great things and we are so proud of their accomplishments. They are essentially “carrying” those that are floating along using our beloved Moose name to further their own personal agendas. Sorry, but that’s the truth.

When we think about some of the biggest problems plaguing our
lodges, it can usually be traced back to leadership, or lack thereof. Sure, some of the complaints we hear are about smoking, lack of activities/entertainment, unfriendly bartenders (or members) and outdated/dirty lodge homes.

If you think about it, lodge leadership has everything to do with it. We have a tendency to get comfortable with our “year” as an officer and I’ve even been told not to “rock the boat” when I was an officer. Really? How do we expect to get anywhere just floating around doing the same thing every year?

In my opinion, the boat NEEDS to be rocked every once in a while. We need to step out of our comfort zone. When will the cycle be broken of just doing enough to get by until the next board takes our place? It’s disappointing to read a newsletter and the only thing that changes are the dates.

The same old thing at the same time every year promoted with no enthusiasm and no interest in whether or not it’s successful. Don’t accept“ we can’t do that” or “we tried that before and it didn’t work” or “nobody will participate” for an answer. We often hear “we can’t afford to do that.”

If the toilet was broken at home, we’d somehow find a way to fix it. Think about it; soap and water doesn’t cost a lot. Friendliness is free. Recycling of officers can be addressed if we’d just get qualified members to step up and rally like-minded people to support them.

I know it sometimes seems like a fight and it shouldn’t be. Think
about this – would you fight for your kids? Well, you have about 200 at Mooseheart depending on you right now. That’s enough to keep me motivated! If it says Moose on the outside, shouldn’t it be Moose on the inside?"
