Message from the Governor

My Brothers & Sisters,

WOW!!! My first month as your “Governor” has

been great. I still remember when I first walked into this

lodge just 4 years ago, and all I can say is I’m glad I did.

I’ve met so many wonderful people and hope to continue

meeting more in the years to come.

I want to first thank everyone for all of your support, and hope I

can continue to lead our lodge to great expectations. Joe, you left me with

some pretty big shoes to fill, but I think with the help of my fellow Brothers

& Sisters I will continue on with the success that you had.

In Closing I am very excited about the upcoming year and the

many new things we can do to help out Mooseheart and Mooseheaven,

as well as our very own community.

See you at the Lodge

BEYOND THE SOCIAL QUARTER

WHAT YOU MAY HAVE MISSED

What a May!!! We started off this month strong with a great “Cinco de

Mayo” party. It was hosted by Louie and Virginia. Also lending a hand

was the 2nd half of the Cantina Girl’s -- Terri. Special thanks to Ella for

working the Margarita station. The dance floor was packed as well as the

lodge as everyone enjoyed the sounds of Two Dogs. ‘Great job guys! The

night was a huge success. Thank you.

Kudos to Debi and all her Ladies for their monthly breakfast and bake sale.

Also, Irene (twice), Susan with Doni & Terri and Marion made “dining at

the lodge on Thursday nights,” the thing to do.

(continued on page 3)

Message from the Senior RegentWhat a great month! May was full of fun events &

meals. Thank you so much to Irene, Doni & Terri, and

Marion for the Thursday night dinners. You are all so

appreciated! Thank you to Debi and her crew for the

bake sale & breakfast -- always a great time! So much

fun was had at Terri's Membership/Retention function.

Meatball sandwiches & karaoke...always a great

combo! Thank you to Terri & her crew and to Danae & Lisa for the

karaoke! Big thanks to the men for a wonderful Mother's Day breakfast.

I personally enjoyed being a part of the Moose Rider's "Blessing of the

Bikes". It was such a positive experience. So much more...always great

dinners and breakfasts by the men & Moose Riders.

June is set to be as busy as May! I am looking forward to the Moose

Riders trip to Calico Ghost Town on the 2nd, Sally's Publicity function

on the 9th and the Sweetheart ball on the 16th. Check the calendar for all

the breakfasts & dinners. The women will be hosting a breakfast for

Father's Day. Come celebrate with your families. Lots of delicious food

coming this month! Check out the basket of great items donated by Teena

Marie. It will be raffled off on Father's Day. Get your tickets now!! The

women will be hosting a memorial for Barbara Pina on the 24th in

Glendale. Hope to see many of you there. I wish a safe and successful

trip to all who plan to attend the International Moose Convention in Tampa.

Thank you in advance for representing Reseda!

Congratulations to Van Nuys High School student, Kenji Kang, for

receiving the R. Robert Dale Scholarship from Moose International.

Christie and I were honored to present the award, at the school's Senior

Awards Night, to this deserving young man . Proud mom Eileen is a new

member of the WOTM. Congrats Eileen!

Please attend our meetings on the 5th & 19th. ‘Would love to see you

there!

Message From the Moose Riders PresidentGreetings to all Moose Riders and Non-Riders,

Wow, another great month. The dinner on May 11thwas a great success. Thank you to all who participated.Also, a Big Thanks to Pastor Gordon for leading us in ourfirst annual International Blessing of the Bikes on May

19th. This is a nationwide event and it’s the 8th year that MooseInternational has sponsored the ocassion. The Moose Riders followedthe Blessing of the Bikes with a Porker Run that raised money forthe Children’s Charities.

The Moose Riders want to invite everyone to our Calico Ghost Townride on Saturday June 2nd (see flyer on page 14). Eddie is looking into therental of a passenger van to transport those of you who either do notride bikes or simply want to leave the driving to someone else. It’s ourway of making everyone feel welcome! Look for a sign-up sheet postedin the lodge. Those opting for the van, we’re asking for a $25.00 perperson contribution. This will cover the cost of the renta l as we l l asthe expense for gasoline. Plan to join us for this day of “Fe l lowship& Western Adventure.” Also, look forward to more Moose Riderevents in the future.

Special Announcement: We’ve changed our monthly meeting day to thefourth Tuesday of every month. So, mark your calendar for Tuesday,June 26th.

Ride to Live, live to Ride.

Sincerely,Steve Harrison

LOCAL STUDENT EARNS

MOOSE SCHOLARSHIP

Kenji Kang, a graduating senior at Van Nuys High School, is the 2012

Representing our Lodge at the presentation ceremony are Sr. Regent, Susan

Soules (left) and Jr. Regent, Christie Steele (right). We congratuate this fine

young man and wish him the best as he pursues his college education.

This Month’s Questions:

1. What is your favorite main course for dinner?

2. Should sports teams be banned from using Native

American nicknames? (yes or no)

Moose Poll is a new addition to the Moose Call. Its purpose is to survey the

membership on various topics and issues. The results are sure to be inform-

ative. Most important, your response will be anonymous -- I promise!

Those of you who have an e-mail account should send your response to:

phi179@sbcglobal.net. If you do not have an internet connection. submit

your answer to one of the bartenders in the Social Quarters. They will place

your opinion in a box behind the counter. Please limit your participation

to one response only for each question. Results will be published in the

following month’s Moose Call.

Thank you in advance for participating. This promises to be interesting.

A Message from the Editor

The lodge needs an “Assistant” Editor for the Moose Call.

Are there any volunteers? My free time is not as flexible

as it used to be. My folks live in Las Vegas, Nevada and

both are struggling with heath issues. As a result, I find

myself attending to family matters that require increased

responsibilities with each passing week and month.

I consider editing the Moose Call a “labor of love” and the the last thing

I want to do is miss a deadline and disappoint fellow members.

Last month, my message centered on transitions. In order for our lodge

to have continuity, we need people to be ready to step in when needed.

Without back-up plans, we risk losing momentum.

If you have a computer and enjoy writing, your lodge needs you. Contact me

at 818-353-5349 and we can discuss the publishing process.

For those of you who wish to submit articles for the July issue, the deadline

is Monday, June 18th. Send material to: phi179@sbcglobal.net. Also, all

changes made to the calendar after the planning meeting must be approved

by either the Governor or Sr. Regent and immediately communicated to me.

Looking forward,

Mitch “5-17” Lane
