WHAT’S NEW!

Moose Legion Update Mark Klein Moose Legion Councilman

Here's the latest information regarding all 19 of our Moose Legion jurisdictions throughout California and Nevada. Please click on the above attachment containing 5 separate tabs at the bottom of the page to navigate each subject. These pages will look somewhat familiar to those that I handed out at the Mid-Year Conference; these are just the next update. Please refer to the date printed at the bottom of each report. We still have a few weeks remaining in this fiscal year to accomplish our goals. We may possibly have another Director's Key Club Moose Legion jurisdiction or 2, or 3 before years' end. Let's make the Key Club a priority in 2009-2010 with our Directors and International Moose Legion Ambassadors leading in membership production by example! 1) Membership Production: Kudos to Channel Islands #175 for completing 119.23% of its membership quote! West Coast Central #214 is in 2nd place. There are others that I am hopeful in reaching the 100%% mark of their membership quota. This should be another priority for each jurisdiction next year. 2) Endowment Fund: Holy cow!!! $9.67 per member!!! Nevada #168 is kicking butt again this year in Endowment Fund donations. I'm  certainly expecting an announcement regarding this Moose Legion at International Convention for competition in their category. Hats off also to Twin Rivers #207 for their great per capita donations! Third and fourth place go to Desert #205 and Sunshine #49 respectively. Always keep in mind where this money goes. 3) Mooseheart Powerhouse Project: Congratulations again to everybody. We are 100% in donating to this much needed program at Mooseheart. We will be having a new project announced at International Convention. Whether it's a 1-year or 2-year program, please try to accomplish your fair share as quickly as possible. Remember, it could mean a 20% reduction in financial outlay.  4) Accounts Payable Balances: I'm hopeful that some of you have sent in checks after our discussion regarding the growing balances that some Moose Legion jurisdictions are realizing

month after month. Please, please,  please try to mange these items by maintaining a balance well below $100.00 and as close to zero as possible. Thanks. It's not that difficult to manage if you stay on top of it. 5) Youth Awareness Scholarship: The green box at the end of your row indicates that you are paid in full for 2008-2009. For Yucca #167 and Twin Rivers #207, the dollar amount in that green box indicates that you've paid beyond your annual 50 cents per member quota. For those Moose Legion jurisdictions who have yet to comply, please send in your check as quickly as possible earmarked in the lower left hand corner with "Youth Awareness 2008-2009" to receive your proper credit in this annual ongoing project. Please discuss with your Directors a consideration of realigning and condensing our Moose Legion jurisdictions in California and Nevada. There is nothing official as to this request. However, if we take the initiative and devise an equitable plan, we could enhance our Moose Legion program throughout or region. The other consideration is the combining of our Moose Legion All-State program with the CNMA, Inc. Mid-Year Conference. We could have Thursday afternoon prior to the Conference opening on Friday Morning. We'd still have a meal or two, a Memorial Service, and less expenses due to less travel, etc. There'd be plenty of time for ritual competition and an proper awards presentation before the Conference concluded. I absolutely want everybody's input on this item!!! I know that this is a lot to read and a lot of information to digest. Please consider the time it took to put together vs. the time I'm asking you to invest. The fact of the matter is that I am as willing to work as hard, if not harder, at helping us all be what we deserve to be; #1. I truly thank you all for your involvement. Fraternally, Mark Klein

MOOSE LEGION INVOLVEMENT WITH ENDOWMENT FUND

Below is a chart showing our Moose Legion involvement in regard to Endowment Fund giving to our Fraternity during the entire 2008-2009 fiscal year. As you may realize, we have a total of 177 Moose Legion jurisdictions with a total of 67,389 Moose Legionnaires. All but one (1) jurisdiction donated to the Endowment Fund for an all-time high of $142, 213.43 in annual donations. If you do the math, this breaks down to $2.11 per Moose Legionnaire. Of course all of these numbers are in addition to what Moose Legionnaires regularly contribute to their Moose Lodges, their districts, their Councils of Higher Degrees, their State Associations, and Moose International.
Where would our Fraternity be without the loyal support of our Moose Legions and the Moose Legionnaires???
Special recognition goes out to the Nevada Moose Legion #168 for not only a second annual 1st place in its division, but for being the #1 per capita donating jurisdiction throughout our entire Fraternity. Congratulations also to Twin Rivers Moose Legion #207 for placing 3rd in the Hope division on the international level. These are just 2 of the stellar examples of "doing some good thing for someone each day" in which you all partake. More information on year-end totals will be forthcoming as received.

 In the meantime, keep up the great work in all areas and make sure that you are finalizing your plans for the annual All-State Conference to be hosted in Santa Maria, CA by West Coast Central #214.

Thanks for all that you do,
Mark
