MOOSEHEART FILLERS

Mooseheart was one of the pioneers in the field of vocational training
at the high school level.
Mooseheart High School students today have more than a dozen
occupations from which to choose,
including individually tailored co-op programs with either campus work
functions or area businesses.
The Mooseheart schools are under the supervision of the Department
of Public Instruction, State of Illinois, and are members of the
North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Students graduating from Mooseheart High School receive not only the
regular academic diploma, but also a vocational training certificate.
Mooseheart students are trained in the religious faith which prevailed
in their original home or in which they were baptized, prior to coming to
the "Child City."
Mooseheart has a total acreage of 1,000 acres. Of this total, about
400 acres are occupied by campus buildings, mown athletic and play
fields, and the 23-acre lake. The remainder constitutes Mooseheart
Farm, consisting of the petting zoo, pasture, and cropland.
Mooseheart is a complete community, having its own residences,
schools, church, health center, utilities, and post office. There are more
than 100 buildings and more than 12 miles of paved roads.
Mooseheart Lake has 23 acres of water, with an average depth of
eight feet. It provides boating and fishing facilities for Mooseheart children.
The Mooseheart Student Bank was established in 1928 by a Mooseheart
graduate, the late John C. Meikle, Class of 1920. In 1996, it was
reorganized as the Mooseheart branch of Merchants Bank
(subsequently acquired by Old Kent and then Fifth Third Bank), and now
provides all modern banking
services--in addition to offering a vocational training opportunity to high
school students.
Mooseheart Camp Ross is a 150-acre woodland which provides yearround
camping facilities for
Mooseheart children. It is located near Mount Morris, Ill., which is about
60 miles west of Mooseheart.
The Moose Legion funds the ongoing maintenance and improvements to
this fine facility.

I want to thank everyone for cooperating with the servers and showing your membership card each time you enter the Lodge. The checking of membership cards has always been a General Law of the Moose and we are trying to comply with the Moose and Florida State regulations.
I know there have been some questions that have come up since we have instituted the new procedures so I will try to give eve-ryone a quick explanation of the regulations concerning quali-fied guest and who are qualified to be a guest. An active mem-ber is defined as a member in good standing with a current membership card. First, all Guest must be signed into the Guest Book by the door by an active member of the Moose or Women of the Moose. The term guest includes non-member spouses.
An Active Members immediate family- No limit to the num-ber of times they can be signed in.
A Lady friend or Gentleman friend of An Active Member- No limit to the number of times they can be signed in.
Prospective Member with a Sponsor- Limited to Two visits
A member in arrears on payment of dues- Shall not enter any Lodge except to pay dues and does not qualify to be admitted as a guest. If a member comes into the Lodge to pay his or her dues it may be paid to the server who will give them a receipt which can be used until they receive there new card from Moose International.
All of the above comes from Chapter 50 section
50.2 of the General Laws of Moose International
Ok you did it again, we had a great turn out for the District meeting at Largo and we took home awards for number of Lodge Members Attending, and Lodge Officers Present. This month, the District Meeting is at our Lodge on the 11th so I sure expect a great turn out. Andy has a great menu planned so come and enjoy the fellowship, fun, and food. I don’t know if Lorie is going to make her Moose Poop again for the cake walk but please remember to bring your cake, cookies, or whatever, lets make our cake walk a super success.
Don’t forget the Lodge members meet on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:30 PM right after The Moose Legion Meet-ing, and the fourth Tuesday at 6:30 PM. Come have a voice in your Lodge. This month we will be having a vote on moving the time of the meeting on the second Tuesday to 6:30 like the meeting on the fourth Tuesday. I’ll be there will you ?????

Glad to be your Governor, Mike Barry

Independence Day is July 4.
Independence Day is celebrated on July 4 because that is the day when the Continental Congress adopted the final draft of the dec-laration of Independence. From July 8, 1776, until the next month, the document was read publicly and people celebrated whenever they heard it. The next year, in Philadelphia, bells rang and ships fired guns, candles and firecrackers were lighted. But the War of Independence dragged on until 1783, and in that year, Independence Day was made an official holiday. 1941 Congress declared 4th of July a federal holiday.
Wishing you all a very safe and happy holiday.
Parents Day is July 25.
The ?Hobo Party? held on May 22 and hosted By Lana Toth, chairperson for Membership/Retention, and her committee was a huge success. There were many prizes and gifts. Some of the lucky winners were, Prize for King of the Road – Eric Ramquist, Best Bag Lady-Nancy Guier, Boobie Prize-Rose Patterson, and Hat Trick Prize- Lee Tarbutton. There was a silent auction with many wonderful gifts donated from our local merchants. This was all for such a worthy cause. A percentage of the proceeds are going to The Multiple Sclerosis Society. Many thanks to Lana and her committee for doing a superb job.
I would like to give a special thank you to Deb Farr and Roseanne Wilson who hosted the ?Support Our Troops? which was held on June 5. This was a joint effort put on by the men. All proceeds went to the troops.
Our next WOTM function will be held on July 17 at 4:00 PM. Donna Kosfszewski, chairperson for Youth Involvement, and her committee will be hosting it. The theme will be ?Country Ho-Down?. There will be outdoors activities, as well as, indoors. Live music, food-pulled pork, barbeque chicken, and sides, etc. Tickets will be $6.00. Please join us for a fun filled afternoon and evening. There is a rumor going around that there may be some surprises that our men officers will be involved in. Children are more than welcome for the early activities.
A little food for thought, "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world".
Reminder: District Meeting is at our Lodge, North Bay, on July 11, at 12:30, PM. Please bring a baked good for the cakewalk. If you have never been to a District Meeting, please come out and meet the wonderful members from the other lodges in our district. It is not all just business at these meetings we have a lot of fun too.
Moose International Convention in Nashville, July 2-7.

Happy to be your Senior Regent Rosemary Belisle
