Tommy Moose:
A Very Successful Community Service Program Gets Even
Better!
By SHAWN BAILE, Director/Fraternal Programs
If you happen to see a cuddly plush moose in a red sweater in the coming months that looks like the Tommy Moose--just more cuddly and lovable looking--don’t be shocked.
Tommy has gotten quite a makeover! With his updated appearance, we hope he’ll be even more welcome in police cars, fire trucks and ambulances than ever.
In February 2007, the Supreme Council began to seriously consider redesigning Tommy Moose. The opportunity existed to take a very successful community service program to the next level; to continue the initial concept of providing a plush Moose in emergency vehicles while expanding Tommy’s recognition into additional areas to create a more identifiable image.
Doing so enables the Moose the chance to trademark the Tommy Moose character to restrict use of the likeness only to programs approved by the Order.
A new design created by Chris Ecker of Moose International Communications & Public Affairs was submitted to a vendor and a prototype was composed. The design was approved, and production of the “new and improved” Tommy Moose has begun!
While it was extremely important to continue the success that Tommy Moose has spread throughout the fraternity, it was equally important to assure that the new design was flexible enough to be utilized in other arenas. Fraternal units will continue to be encouraged to purchase plush Tommy Moose through Catalog Sales and present the items to emergency services personnel in their respective communities. Units that have made an initial presentation should stay in contact with these personnel and replenish their stock when necessary.
The newly designed Tommy Moose will be available beginning in January 2008 and will be used to fill all orders placed from this point forward. The price remains at $75/dozen; the catalog item number is 130. To order, call 630-966-2250; fax 630-859-3505; or e-mail order details to catalogsales@mooseintl.org.

The Garden Grove Moose Lodge #620, joined the local school and church, by planting trees on the street in front of our lodge. The lodge donated funds, and two young trees were planted, with help from the school children. The local TV and newspaper recorded the event, and everyone agreed that this was a joint non-profit effort that was adding some "leafy greens to the area". This was one of the big Community Service projects that our lodge does on an annual basis.

The girls were collecting "color book bags, pop tops and pennies for Ronald McDonald House."
Also, supplies and cards for our "Troops overseas". These terrific girls and their adult helpers currently meet at the Garden Grove Methodist Church.
The Garden Grove Moose Lodge #620 members were more than happy to help by contributing to this fine organization.

These are the boxes of supplies the lodge is sending the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. This will be an on-going Community Service project. Lodge members should check with Jim or Leonard to see what is needed the most by our troops.

Thank You to all those who contributed to our Community Service program this last year. Remember, all lodge members who volunteer their time and resources can contact me, (Leonard) or the administrator, (Jimbo). This can be sending boxes to our troops, volunteering at hospitals, or taking supplies/meals to the needy. Please let us know!
Your lodge has always been one of the most highly rated in the nation, consistently receiving the “Superior Award”. Please help us to continue this great tradition!

Dear Leonard Chapman,
Thank you for your interest in the Adopt A US Soldier organization. Adoption can be as easy as writing letters or as involved as sending care packages. Your level of participation is entirely up to you.
Home State: Texas
Deployed From: Fort Campbell, TN
Gender: Male
Comments Here: Hello, I'm a soldier of the 101st Airborne Division currently deployed to the Zhari district of Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan. My platoon and I would greatly appreciate any hard candies(werthers/jolly ranchers, etc) and any school supplies such as pens/paper that you would care to send. We give these items out to the Afghan children while we are out on patrol. The only school that is left in this district is attacked almost daily by the Taliban which has driven all of the children to staying at home. They constantly ask us for pens and we give them all that we can, but there never seems to be enough. Afghanistan is a very poor country and the children here do not have many "niceties" at all. Also if you could send some soccer balls, it would be greatly appreciated. I am very grateful. Thank you for your kind support.
SSG David Bickley
Sgt. Bickley;
I sent a e-mail last week, and was hoping for a reply. I am ready
to send my first box with some of the items you requested. Would
like to know
if you are still available to receive it?? Am in the process of
finding some
"soccer balls", and hope to get them to you ASAP.
Thanks for your sevice to our country...

Hello Leonard Chapman,
Just received your package and already distributed it on a patrol. The children
lit up like candles. I must apologize for my tardiness in this letter, I just
got back for refit(shower, laundry and e-mail evry 12-16 days). Thank you for
your kind gift. It is greatly appreciated by all here. Thanks again, David
I
know that many of you have been saving the pull tabs from your cans at home. Now is the time to turn them in!Monte and I are going to make a trip to Ronald McDonalds House this month. If you have any tabs at home for this drive, PLEASE bring them to the lodge now. We need as many as we can get to make this donation bigger and better than last year. Help us and the children at CHOCS by bringing in your tabs.
Those of you that don’t know about this project, let me explain. We save all our pull tabs from all cans, drinks, etc. and we take them to our local Ronald McDonald House. They use them to help the parents of children in CHOCs to be close in their time of need.
HELP US HELP THEM … save those pull tabs !!!!
Thank You, Monte Shuput
