  Hello Brothers and Sisters.

I hope everyone is doing well. March is here and we still have NO SNOW. Will March bring us some of the white stuff? We will be watching the temperature very closely, if it gets warm enough, we will have a band outside at the pavilion to kick off the warmer weather. Let’s hope the good weather stays with us. I encourage all members to join our text blast system to get the latest information about what is going on in your Lodge. 

We are entering the time of the year to focus on electing new officers for the coming year. I encourage all members to stop by and visit your Lodge to fill out the form to submit your name to be considered by the Nominating Committee and turn it into the Administrator or the bartender on duty. 

Let’s not forget Mardi Gras Time at the Lodge, March 4th, 5 PM-12 AM. Look for the flyers displayed around the Social Quarters and purchase your tickets soon from the bartender on duty. After March 1st, the price goes up! 

Brothers/Sisters of Moose Lodge 1655, we have a nice collection of coats, shirts, and crockpots left behind in the Lodge. Please check to see if they are yours. The coats will be in the hall hanging on the coat rack.

Thanks to all Brothers and Sisters of Moose Lodge 1655. I will close for now. 

Your President, Norm 

  We would like to start out with saying Congratulations to Judy Stiles, who recently received the Chapter Member of the Year award for our chapter. Judy has always been there for us and for the Lodge. Judy is a true friend and mentor. Our chapter has been lucky to have a sister like her!

Thank you to everyone who helped with the Sweetheart Dinner and Dance on Feb 11th. The dinner was amazing, the band was great and everyone who attended it had a great time. Thank you for all of the support as all proceeds raised will be donated to Moose Charities Rocker Fund.

  As we are closing in on the end of the Moose year, it's time to start looking forward to the next year and think about what we can each do to help our Lodge continue to be successful. Could you take the next step in the Fraternity and join the Moose Legion or WOTM? Could you volunteer some time to help with a dinner or other event at the Lodge? These small things will help you fill the obligation you agreed to when you signed your membership application, and help your Lodgestay successful. Remember, "a job heavy to one is borne lightly by many".

MLC steak night is Mar 3rd, breakfast is Mar 19th, prime rib night is Mar 24th, and our meeting is Mar 25th.
