FROM THE GOVERNOR

TROY KING

October was a very busy month. I would like to thank Brian Carpenter for

bring in a Comedy Show, Julie and Darrel Johnson for chairing the Annual

Hopewell Moose Halloween party, Oktoberfest thanks to the Kitchen crew

and the VMA Pool Tournament thanks to all our members who helped

make this a success. Our lodge only succeeds with the support of all its

members. I cannot say that enough for making my first six month such a success.The first week of November is dedicated to Membership Retention. To celebrate the

Moose Legion is sponsoring a “Get Acquainted” gather in the Ballroom on the 6th immediately

following the LOOM meeting. This will take the place of the normal Moose Legion meeting for

all LOOM members. Each new Moose Legionnaire will go through their conferral followed by a

small buffet. I am inviting all Fellow’s and Pilgrim’s to attend dress in their appropriate Fraternal

Jacket. This is open to all LOOM member and I encourage you all to stop by. Each member

that signs up a LOOM member on the 5th and/or 7th dinner from 5:30-8:00pm will receive a

free dinner and two drink chips from the bar. On the 8th at 1200 in the office I am asking each

Fellow and Pilgrim to join me in contacting the entire expired membership list for the month of

October and encourage them to renew their membership.

Let’s make November a banner month for Membership. If you want to get involved and make a

change in the Lodge, please join me on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month at 7pm in the ball-

room. Volunteers are always welcome with plenty to do around the lodge.

Entertainment Committee

Autumn is upon us and we have the frosty morn-

ings, fall colors and falling leaves to prove it. Don’t

forget the shorter days and long, long nights. No

need to stay home wishing there was something to

do on those long nights, because there is. We are

having fun at the Hopewell Moose Lodge every night of the week! Sunday and Tuesday nights are

Bingo nights. On Mondays, don’t forget the Queen

of Hearts drawing. The jackpot is growing and you

may as well be the winner! Wednesday and Friday

nights we offer fine meals and DJ entertainment for

your dancing and listening pleasure. The second

and fourth Thursday nights we have Trivia Night in

the Social Quarters to test your knowledge as well

as entertain and compete against your friends for

prizes. Check the calendar to find out which Sat-

urdays we are having “All Karaoke Night.”

There is never a cover charge for any of our Social

Quarters Events!

We also have Ballroom events planned for the up-

coming months. Advanced tickets are available for

ballroom events by calling the office and you can

reserve your favorite seats and tables at no addi-

tional cost. The ballroom seating chart is on our

website www.hopewellmooselodge.com, on the

entertainment page. Everyone come out for lots of

fun, great food, dancing and listening pleasure with

all your best friends.

Any last minute additions or corrections to the

calendar that miss the deadline for the newsletter

or www.hopewellmooselodge.com posting will be

posted on our Hopewell Moose Facebook page.

ENTERTAINMENT Upcoming Events

Nov 8- Karaoke night will be held in the social

quarters from 7-10. David Allen will be the DJ

and he will give all our talented singers a chance

to “show their stuff.” The bar will be open and

food will be available. There is no cover charge

for this event.

Nov 21- Jim Quick and the “COASTLINE

BAND” will return to the ballroom. Jim has

won the “Entertainer of the Year Award” for

the past 12 consecutive years, and guess what?

He is nominated for the “Entertainer of the

Year Award” again this year. He and his band

members are nominated for 7 other prestigious

awards. They play a blend of Beach, Country and Southern Soul music. We may get the treat

of hearing a couple of “King Tyrone and the

Graveyard Ramblers” songs. BYOB. Come join

the Coastline Crazies for a night of FUN!!!

Dec 5- THE JANITORS from Virginia Beach will

take the stage. THE JANITORS emit an energy

level and sonic fullness that rivals larger bands.

Their tight blend of Rhythm and Blues, 60’s Soul,

70’s Funk, Country, and current Top 40 Dance

keeps people of all ages dancing from the first

note ‘til the last. BYOB.

Dec 20- The Women of the Moose will host a

special Christmas Dance featuring “THE AN-

TIQUES.” They are a local favorite that plays

the best of old time Country Music. This is sure

to be a special evening of dancing and listening

to the music we have loved for many years.

BYOB.

Dec 31- We will ring out 2014 and the new

year in with the sounds of our own Darrell

Johnson and his “VERTIGO BAND.” They per-

form a big variety of music that is sure to please

everyone. This special evening will begin with

the band starting the party at 8, and a cham-

pagne toast and a buffet breakfast that will fol-

low shortly after the New Year has been rung

in.

Veterans’ Day November 11, 2014

Tuesday, November 11th, is Veterans’

Day; a day we honor all veterans of all branches

of the armed services.

Please take a moment to stop and thank the

veterans for all they have done for the United

States of America and for the freedom we some-

times take for granted. The men and women who

have given so much and asked so little in return.

On November 11th thank all the veterans of

all the past wars and conflicts they served in and all

the young men and women serving their country

today.

Keep in mind – Real heroes do not wear a

cape and mask, They wear combat boots and

dog tags!

From the Officers and Staff of Hopewell Moose

Family Center

THANK YOU VETERANS!!!

Senior Luncheon On October 16th we had a total of 22 seniors who

enjoyed delicious barbecue sandwiches with potato

chips, baked beans, cole slaw, and banana pudding at

our luncheon. And you cannot beat the price!

Come out and join us for fun, good food, and fel-

lowship the third Thursday of each month at

12noon. A door prize is drawn during each event;

the winner for October was Charlie Kemp. Our

next luncheon will be held on Thursday, November

20th. Hope to see you then.

God Bless All –
