Retention Message
What a great convention! Dina Munday, our first woman President, did a wonderful job.
Our Official Visitor Brian Toseki and his sweet wife Pam were a lot of FUN also. Then came Danielle Baile what a great job Danielle, you are always so informative. Our breakfast for the Council was really great!
Now for Retention we must get started on working the expired list at our Lodges. New members are great but first let’s work on bringing back some of the members that have not come back. Please be welcoming to these members. Let them know how we work. Tell them about Mooseheart and Moosehaven. Get them involved.
Please be kind and make them feel like they are one of the team. Lots of hugs to all my Moose members.
