At our June Chapter Night, a certificate recognizing Gail Garrison’s efforts as “2005-2006 Volunteer of the Year” was read on the floor (Gail had surgery at this time and was not in attendance). She was chosen from among the recipients of the “Volunteer of the Month” candidates for her outstanding commitment and dedication for her many years as the WOTM Wedding Coordinator. I would also like to congratulate our Second Ritual Team for an excellent performance at this meeting.

At last, we have installed all of our chapter development committee chairs. Chairmen are as follows: Community Service, Jennifer Fuhrer; Education Advancement, Peggy Foster; Health Awareness, Kaye Whitson; Membership, Sue Spainhour; Moosehaven, Elaine Souders; Mooseheart, Pat Ball; Publicity, Virginia Remington and Youth Involvement, Brenda LaRoche.

Every year our Health Awareness Committee awards a $1000 Scholarship to a second-year Nursing Student. This scholarship is available to anyone who meets the criteria and they do not have to be a member of the Moose Fraternity. The Scholarship Award can be used toward tuition, fees and books for either first or second semester terms and is not limited to Brevard Community College. However, the Committee prefers to keep the scholarship Award to a Brevard County Resident or Family member. If you know of anyone who might qualify for this scholarship please contact the Health Awareness Committee Chairman, Kaye Whitson, or any other WOTM Board member, or just leave a message on the WOTM office telephone at 454-3744. Applications will be available soon through BCC and the WOTM office. The deadline for submitting an application is August 30.

Once again I would like to thank all of you for your continued support in furnishing pies and cakes for our bake sales. This helps each committee earn hundreds of dollars as part of their fundraising efforts.

Fraternally,

Pat Moore
