| FROM THE GOVERNOR |
Its been an interesting couple of
months for your new Governor. First
off, I really appreciate the kind words
of support from many of our
members. I’ve got to say, being the
Governor is not what I thought it was
going to be. I hope the rest of the
board members will bear with me as I
try to settle into this new role.
A few good things we have
coming up...the outside seating
should be completed by the time you
read this. We also have a few
events coming up this summer
designed to get us outside and start
enjoying our new feature. So
remember to come down, relax and
enjoy your Moose lodge. Don't
forget to bring a friend or two.
Volunteers, we need more
volunteers!!! Unfortunately this
lodge is run by our members
willingness to help out. This is not
hard, we are not asking for much,
how about just helping out in the
kitchen once a month. Please if you
would like to get involved please ask
one of your board members or
fantastic bar staff. Remember this
lodge exists because we help each
other out. Enjoy the nice weather
and have a great summer.

| Hey you Mooses! Summer is here! Actually the weather arrived before the season this year... which ain’t at all like Washington. But I don’t think anyone is gonna complain! Hopefully the nice weather will stay with us, because we need to be able to try out our new addition. That’s right, we’ve been thinking “outside the lodge”, and decided that it was time to do more than just string some rubber fence once a year. Thanks to the hard work and generosity of many or our members, we now can enjoy a frosty beverage outside. There was a huge amount of enthusiasm and support for this project...as well as a few unknown hoops we had to jump through. But the fence is installed and the furniture is in. Thanks again to those who donated time, or money, or both to get this done. Come and try it out. Summer is also, probably the most difficult time of the year for the lodge financially. Attendance is usually low, and events are sparse. We do have the A/C running though, and the beer is cold, so if you’re feeling a little over heated from all that yard work, come down and cool off. We might even put a little umbrella in your drink! We do have a few events this summer that you won’t want to miss. Two outdoor parties that ought to be a lot of fun. And let’s not forget the golf tournament in September. Space is limited on that one, so get your teams together and get those apps in early. It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to one of our long time members, and someone I considered to be a close friend. Sonja Vineyard is gone, but her memory will be with our lodge forever. One of our core group of volunteers, Sonja has helped out in just about every volunteer position in the lodge. I will miss her, as I’m sure will everyone at Cowlitz Valley Moose. See you here, BJ |
