GOVERNORS PLEASE READ AT YOUR NEXT OFFICERS MEETING OR HAVE
YOUR MEMBERSHIP CHAIRMAN READ AT YOUR MEMBERSHIP MEETING:
Officers,
Let’s pump up the membership!
We have many membership drives currently in place to aid in
the recruitment of new members, retention of members in
arrear, and re-enroll dropped members. The responsibility of
each of you is to get the word out about these promotions.
They are the Moose International’s “Create Some Interest”
and “Mission Three”, the Association’s “Go 12 for 12”, the
Lodge level “Bull Moose” and “3 for 2”.
All the Lodges have the posters for the Moose International
and Association drives. Make sure they our included in your
membership communications and announced at your dinners,
dances, and other events. Have your administrators check on
those who have sponsored a new member each month since
September and remind them that if they keep sponsoring one
new member each month they could win a trip to Milwaukee in
2013.
Many Lodges are using the Bull Moose Membership Campaign in
which your most recent sponsor’s name is place on the wall
for recognition and he receives one free drink every time he
enters the Lodge. Other Lodges are offering $20 off
membership dues for the year. A few Lodges are entering
sponsors into a monthly drawing for every new member they
sign to win steaks or a $50 gas card. These examples are
working to sponsor new members! Please use one of them if
your Lodge does not currently have an internal Membership
Drive or the one you are using is not working.
We also need to call those members in arrears. The
popular campaign for bringing in members in arrears is the
“3 for 2” Campaign: Tell your members in arrears that if
they pay for two years the Lodge will pay their third year.
Another deviation from this same campaign is “1 for 1”:
members in arrears pay for one year the Lodge pays for the
second year. This may seem like the Arrears Campaign costs
the Lodge money but think of all the money that member will
bring in every time he comes in, brings a family member in
with him, or brings in a qualified guest. Once you show your
members in arrears that you are willing to help them out and
value their membership you may even get a few new members
from the guest they bring in.
We as officers and members need to show each other that
we care and value their membership. Make sure your offices
and employees are showing the members that the Moose is the
friendliest place in town.
If you do nothing to grow our membership then you may as
well lock the doors and put a closed sign on the door of
your Lodge. I know you care and you can make these
membership campaigns work in your Lodge.
Please keep me up to date on the Membership drives you
are using in your Lodge.
Thank you for all you do to make the Moose grow.

Membership Chairman
