Take a breath, be present, be grateful🙏❤️🇺🇸
I see this everyday when I walk the dogs. For some reason this morning it seemed more magical.
As you go about your day remember to be grateful for everything…

Today is the Run for the Fallen plan accordingly and if you get caught in the traffic on 17 (3-5:30 coming through Gloucester) don’t get twisted just breath and be thankful for their sacrifice. The people on the sides of the road are loved ones of the fallen and today is a day for them to remember. If you don’t have anyone to remember, our family at Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW VFW Post 8252 Gloucester Virginia (private)
Will be at Precision Tune Auto remembering SGT Paul Dumont…say a prayer for him and his family🇺🇸🙏
Thank you for your sacrifice.

If you are looking for something to energize your soul…here it is! There are so many orgs out there that need members and support that are doing great things in our communities. Bottom line, get involved! If you need a push…I can say from the bottom of my heart that your local Moose lodge is a great place to start❤️🇺🇸🙏

Greetings Brothers and Sisters,

We are in the home stretch. This is the final month of our Moose year and that means the final push to reach our membership and retention goals. I know for some Lodges, the quota has been made and for others, they are still searching. Regardless of this, every Lodge can work on retention. Here are a couple of ideas to help your Lodge finish strong.

1- Make those calls! The administrator should be able to pull the list of members that are expired or are expiring this month. A simple phone call or text is all it takes to show that member that you care. Board members should be expected to help with this. For instance, if you have 50 people to call but 6 board members making the calls makes it so much easier. That only 8 or 9 contacts per person.

2- Use contact platforms. Write a Facebook post. Use the texting application to do a blast. Send a mass email. Let those members know that they need to renew. Be the “squeaky wheel”. The more you are on social media the more wide spread your reach.

3-Remember why we are here. The passion for this fraternity should be within all of us. Sharing that is a great way to let people know just how wonderful this organization is. Keep that in the forefront and the people will come.

As always, I am here for any questions you may have or support I can give. Stay Moose proud friends!
