COMMUNITY SERVICE
By the time you receive this, our Annual Conference will be over. First I would love to say THANK YOU to all of the Chapters and Lodges who have donated so many Tommy Moose plush, Tommy Moose Coloring Books, Blankets, etc. Your generosity is amazing. This would not have happened without you. Last time I checked, there is no letter I in the word team. We did this as a team. All of us working together to support our communities.
Our Heart of the Community program remains strong. We continue to help in any way we can. We need to keep providing these items to our police departments, fire departments, and nursing homes. Children and adults are so happy when they receive them.
Always remember that we are the best kept secret out there. We are the MOOSE, so be proud and help, where you can by donating, working with charities to provide what they need whether it’s donating money or your time.
As you have generously done before, keep making those blankets and cancer caps to be distributed at our conference in March Start collecting Rosie Moose, Tommy Moose, Tommy Moose coloring books, Tommy Moose bookmarks, Tommy Moose bags, crayons, etc.
REMEMBER, EVERYONE has superpowers. Your talents, your strengths, and your passions – those are your superpowers! No matter who you are, where you live or what your job is, YOU have a superpower. We need to challenge our members to look inside themselves and discover their superpowers and determine how they can use them to benefit Mooseheart, Moosehaven, Moose Charities and our Communities.
We should be MOOSE PROUD at what we have done and continue to accomplish!!!
THE MOOSE AND COMMUNITY SERVICE
A Program Helping Children, Seniors And Making Our Communities A Better Place To Live!
The Moose Community Service Program of today and for the century challenges people to become volunteers through membership in the Moose. It calls for capable and inspired leadership and for a generous giving of thought, effort and time according to the Moose Six-Point Community Service Program. Counting hours worked, miles driven and dollars donated, the Moose contribute $70 – $80 million worth of service every year to communities throughout the U.S., Canada and Great Britain. Community Service has been an ever-growing portion of the overall Moose fraternal program ever since its inception under the name Civic Affairs by then Director General Malcolm Giles in the late 1940’s
The kaleidoscope of all that is Community Service was organized into a Five-Point Program in the early 1990’s, then expanded in the mid-dacade to the Six-Point Program with its familiar logo above.
Can teenagers persuade younger children to make the right choices in life? Yes say the teens and the adults who work together in the Moose Youth Awareness Program. For more than a decade, the Moose has organized high-school-age leaders into a highly effective speaker’s bureau to persuade preschool and elementary-age youngsters against drug use. The program, founded in 1986, has now expanded to bring awareness to 4-to-9 year olds on other subjects such as child abuse, gangs and other elements that have an adverse effect on the youth of today. Women of the Moose are actively participating in many community projects.
Tommy Moose was developed to continue the initial concept of providing a plush Moose as a Community Service Program. Since 2002, the men and women of the Moose have donated more than 75,000 TOMMY MOOSE plush dolls to police, fire and ambulance units all across America.
With two or three Tommy’s always on hand in their vehicles, public safety workers have a way to help soothe and calm small children in moments of trauma and crisis.
