Hello Co-Workers -- 

It’s me again!!  As we start into November – our month of Thanksgiving I would just like to say --  “My heart is so full and I have so many of you wonderful Co-Workers to thank for that.”  Whenever we have asked for help – so many of you have come through 150%.  October was one great thing after another.  We had a very successful wedding the first weekend thanks to all of you who came out and volunteered.  We had a super Luau on the 11^th.  Thanks to our Moosehaven and Mooseheart Chairmen, Helen Hope and Bea Feducia – a great time was had by all.  And of course the food was fantastic, thanks to our special kitchen Co-Worker Tracy Singleton.  Also, thanks to all of you Co-Workers who are out there inviting your friends and family to join our wonderful “fraternity”, we had another great enrollment in October – 17 new Co-workers.  Welcome to each and every one of you.  We want each of you to become involved and be a part of the greatest Chapter anywhere.  We have been having such good times at our meetings.  That is because more of our co-workers are coming out and getting involved.  Like I have said before in my letters – this Chapter is what we make it.  And thanks to each of you we are making it a great and fun year.  But wait --  We had another fun event in October.   Our ever present Youth Involvement Chairman (Tracy Singleton again) worked with her committee to prepare the most fantastic children’s Halloween party we have ever had.  There was something for all the age groups.  But I think the planning committee had just as much fun as the kids.  That is what made it so great for everyone.  Again, thanks to all!!! 

            Now it is time to start all of the fun stuff for November.  Beginning November 1^st, we are planning a Pancake Breakfast.  But believe me, knowing Tracy, it won’t just be pancakes.  Come on out and enjoy a feast.   Then we are really planning a very special night for everyone.  The two Ritual Teams are hosting the “Starlight Ballroom” dinner dance for Saturday, Nov. 15^th.  We hope it will be one of the highlights of the year.  Tickets are available from any Ritual Team Member, the office, or at the bar.  Come step back in time and enjoy the big band sound of the Richard Flutey Orchestra at our very special “gala” evening.   Come on out and join in the fun.  Then the last Monday in November our fun “Card Party” luncheon will be held.  You don’t want to miss that.

            We hope that we are planning activities that will include all of our members.  If you have something you would like to see us participate in that you don’t see happening.  Ask one of our Board of Officers.  That is what we are here for – to serve you.  If you would like to volunteer, please just let us know.  If we don’t ask you, it isn’t because we don’t want you.  It is because we don’t know you are interested.  Also, I want to ask each of you to take the time to “thank” a volunteer.  Remember, they are the “special” people who hold our fraternity together – “appreciate them”.

            In closing, I would like to say “I am thankful for my wonderful family, my special friends, and all of the many wonderful people that have become my extended family within the Moose fraternity”.  I hope you all enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

 

Yours in Faith, Hope and Charity,

Jan Richardson,  Sr. Regent
