 Bedford Family Center #480 delivers another load of Tommy Moose's to the Emergency Room at the Bedford Memorial Hospital. What made this delivery more entertaining and exciting as usual to the staff is that the "Real Tommy Moose" helped with the delivery. The Emergency Room staff really like having the Tommy Moose's around to help calm the small children that come in. | ||

Last evening I had the pleasure to attend the "Preferred Members" Dinner at Steelton # 382. I had been invited by the Board of Officers to speak on membership production and retention. I estimate 50 members were in attendance , ( somewhat short of their goal ) but a huge success and many happy members in attendance. I spoke with every member one on one and they all said they hope that the lodge continues to do things like this because they enjoyed it so much. The food was outstanding, with stuffed chicken breast , roast beef, crab legs, giant shrimp and all of the other goodies. I couldn't eat dessert I was so full. Karaoke/ DJ was the entertainment and that was fun (Larry Keefe needs to let his wife be the singer in the family)and should stick to being Governor, but that was part of the fun and fellowship we all shared. I wanted to let everyone know of this on behalf of the Steelton group because I saw a tremendous amount of effort put into this dinner so everyone could feel fraternal and be proud to sponsor members. WAY TO GO #382 and where are my leftovers you promised? Fraternally, Michael Henry D5 President | ||
