President’s Message

I would like to start my message with sincere gratitude to everyone on the condolences for the loss of my mother Florence Gurrieri-Pardini. The outpouring of care was amazing. Then I remember this is why we are Moose. It’s not only that we do great things for Mooseheart, Moosehaven and the community but it’s that additional family that we have formed. You are all my Moose family, and I appreciate your love and support.

We just completed our first CNMA Committee Chair, District President and Secretary Seminar of the year in Buena Park. I would like to thank Buena Park Moose Lodge they did a fabulous job. We had a nice turnout, and a lot of great information was shared. I was part of the committee chair breakout session with Robert and Earl and some great ideas were shared amongst the group. When I visited the District President and Secretary breakout led by Bill and Cheryl it was very informative, and everyone was very engaged. Our next seminar will be held on January 4th in Ranch Cordova. While I know the focus is on CNMA Committee Chairs, District Presidents and Secretaries everyone is welcome. Find out how you can help the association.

Before we know it the March conference in Costa Mesa will be here. Be sure not to miss out on what is sure to be a great conference. We will have some new fun things planned. I also plan to add some fun to our meetings, so you don’t want to miss out.

In March we will also have the honor of hosting the Director of the Board Bob Funkey on a road trip to CNMA lodges. So, keep an eye for the schedule to come to see the lodges him and his wife Cathy will be visiting.

I have already been out to see multiple lodges and I will continue to do so. You never know when I’ll show up! Earl, Michael and I have had some great adventures. Check out our adventures on Facebook at The Adventures of Michael Moose.

Until Next time! Stay safe and have a wonderful holiday season!
