Welcome to the Moose

We Are Mooseheart

This is Mooseheart

We Are Moosehaven

Welcome to our Moose Association Official Website

The mission of our organization is to strive for excellence in four areas: )1 A fraternal program of community service within our Lodge and Chapter system and Moose Legions; 2) To provide a family environment and education for our children in need and in residence at Mooseheart; 3) To provide the needs of senior members residing at  Moosehaven and 4) To promote membership growth and financial strength to our fraternity.  Our fraternity will flourish if we continue in our mission of informing everyone we meet about our great story and our ever present need to continue our good works.  In addition, we will work to coordinate the programs and directives of Moose International, Inc. and the Supreme Lodge.

Our International membership campaign theme is “CREATE  SOME INTEREST”.  Our goal is to ask each member to demonstrate fraternalism by inviting others to join our fraternity. When you sponsor and enroll two members by April 30, 2012, your next year’s dues are free. Last year more than 50,000 members sponsored at least one application and 23,000+ of those sponsored at least two. Our goal is to have each fraternal unit within this association to think ‘outside the box’ and create fun things for our membership to participate in.  If you CREATE SOME  INTEREST,  our membership will no doubt, demonstrate interest and participate. Moose International has provided all the tools needed to promote membership growth and retention.  It is now up to us to utilize these tools. The garden has been tilled, the seeds have been planted and now it is time to reap the harvest. Utilize the tools that have been provided to Create Some Interest and sign more members.

As a means of Creating Some Interest, a new membership campaign was introduced at the State Convention entitled  GO 12 for 12.   Our members are encouraged to sponsor one new or former member each month. To qualify, a member must sponsor one application each month for 12 consecutive months beginning September 1, 2011.  One application credited to the sponsor must be transmitted each month by 10:00 P.M. Central Time on August 31, 2012.  For each of our members that  do this, (that’s 12 new members!) your name will be entered into a drawing to be our GUEST  at the 2013 International Moose Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This campaign will include travel and accommodations for two.  The trip is not transferable and must be used to attend the 2013 International Moose Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

It is hoped that through this web site you will be able to learn more about our Association and keep abreast of all that is happening in our State, our Districts and our Lodges. As information is gathered it will be added regarding upcoming dates and events.

Thank you for visiting our web site and we invite you to return often.
Remember     “Effectiveness is Doing The Right Things”.

Fraternally,
Jim Hale
Regional Manager
