Hi everyone. 

Attached is the current (4/23/2012)  Roof Project spreadsheet. For everyone's information we are about $75,000.00 shy of the Associations commitment of $275,000.00 toward this project.  We have until sometime after the CNMA Annual Convention in September of this year (ending date will be announced at the Convention) to raise the funds needed to meet this obligation. 

We still have a number of Lodges that have not donated anything to this project (original expectation was $1200.00 from each Lodge at $400.00 per year for three years) and we are now three and one-half years into the project. 

Please every one, get together, work together and raise the funs we need to finish this project.

Please keep in mind that there is never an amount that is too small.  Every donation brings us closer to the total needed and the completion of the Mission.  Don’t save it up, send it as you get it.  In the end it is the total that counts.

We thank all of you not only for you past efforts and support, but also for the additional effort and support that it will take to make all of this happen.
THE TIME IS NOW and THE END IS NEAR, so let’s CREATE SOME INTEREST and GIT’ER DUN!!!

It would amaze you how many times we have heard this when visiting Moose Homes.  The answer is, over three years ago the Association accepted, on behalf of the Lodges, a $275,000 project to bring the roof on the Mooseheart Education Administration Building up to standard.  The fundraising was scheduled for three years with the expectation that each Lodge would make a $1200 donation within that time period.  The time limit was extended for one year and as of January we still needed $100,000 to meet the goal.  Quite honestly we need everyone’s help to meet the goal and complete the Mission.  Hopefully you are asking “What can I do?  We suggest that you contact your Lodge Governor, find out where you stand donation wise, do some fundraising, and help meet the expectation.  There is also a program wherein if you want to donate as an individual you can.  Those that do, and donate $100 or more, will receive a Certificate of Membership in “MILTS 100 CLUB” signed by

Milt McGinnis.  Donations may be sent to either the CNMA Association Secretary or Moose Charities, if you wish to receive credit for Tax Donation purposes. REMEMBER, donations are never to small or to large, every dollar puts us closer to the Goal.   Please be sure and note CNMA Roof Project in the memo section of all checks.  We are trying, with your help to complete this program by the end of September 2012.  If you need further information you can find it on the Association Website under the Special Projects link at www.ca-nvmoose.org or at your Lodge, or e-mail me at  bobbb@bak.rr.com.  We thank you in advance for your help and support.  We know the Cal/Nev Members can and will make it happen.  So, THE TIME IS NOW, LET’S CREATE SOME INTEREST, AND GIT’ER DUN!!

Thank you, your CNMA Roof Committee.  Bob Bakman, Chairman
