SURF & SAND WORKING THE MEMBERSHIP RETENTION PROGRAM

The main purpose of the Councils of Higher Degrees is to help our lodges, chapters and legions retain our membership.

Take a look at what Surf & Sand Council is doing. Talk about a membership retention program that works . . . I would be jumping on the bandwagon to start a program like this for my own lodge.

Time to take the bull by the horns and become a winner! Involve your Council of higher Degrees.

One in Purpose and One in Commitment

It has come to my attention that a few of our higher degree members may be incapacitated in some manner (in a rest home, etc.). This is the perfect time to make a personal contact with the member or the family to offer aid or comfort. AND, some unit should pay the man's Lodge and Moose Legion or woman's Chapter dues to keep them in good standing and on the active rolls of their degree. This is brother helping a brother and co-worker helping a co-worker at its highest level. Remember we are the Moose and -- We are One in Spirit, One in Purpose and One in Commitment.

Thanks again for all your efforts and for being a piece of the solution!
Jim Fleminbg
