The Courier MOOSE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION Join us in one of America’s fastest-growing cities from Thursday, May 21st – Tuesday, May 26th, 2020 for the 2020 International Moose Convention, taking place at the Wisconsin Convention Center. Please note that this year’s convention takes place earlier in the year to line up with the Pilgrim Con- ferral and the Mooseheart Commencement Ceremony. The Brew City. The City of Festivals. Whether you know it as America’s Third Coast or the Bloody Mary Me- tropolis, Milwaukee is a friendly, vibrant city filled with things to explore. Visit the flying art museum, discover the birthplace of Harley-Davidson, sip a locally-brewed cup of coffee – it’s totally random, totally wonderful, and totally Milwaukee. Two opportunities in one! If you have always wanted to go to an International Convention, but also have dreamed of visiting Mooseheart, this is the perfect opportunity to do both. Milwaukee convention attendees will take a break on Saturday, May 23rd to travel by bus or car to the Mooseheart campus, and participate in commencement and Pilgrim conferral ceremonies. See you in Milwaukee! Vol. 2020 No. 1 6 Jan/Feb 2019

Big turnout for Regional Membership Workshop session
some of the changes being made. One coworker made us
chuckle by sharing an example that she had referenced when
conversing with a fellow coworker who was upset. It was
regarding how things have changed over the years and will
continue for years to come. So, we should all work together
on progression.
The example shared was that years ago women didn’t come
out in public or attend meetings without having a girdle, gar-
ter and hose on, but nowadays that’s not the case. And on
that specific day the upset coworker had no hose on and has
made changes herself without realizing it.
It was shared that - NO REASON TO STAY, IS A REA-
SON TO GO — This meaning that members do not come
into the social quarters to be ignored or sit alone. They
come in to enjoy a cold beverage, a good
conversation, a nice meal, fun events. What happens in the
social quarters is a huge part of why we are members. Be
The regional membership workshop in Florida was held
at Winterhaven Lodge on November 3, 2019. The
speakers were Director of Membership Mike Rios and
Territory Manager Bob Saindon. There were 97 mem-
bers in attendance. We were joined by a few members
from: Windsor, Canada; Erie, Pennsylvania; and Warren-
ton, Virginia; all of whom stayed locally after the Town-
hall Meeting.
Some of the goals of the workshop were to help us:
with understanding our members
how to recruit and retain
examine issues that prevent us from reaching our
goals
with ideas to achieve our membership goals
re-energize everyone in attendance friendly and treat members as family - a hello, handshake or
Some say we are lost in the 50’s and we need to adapt to hug and simple conversation goes along way.
If you see the decline in participation at your events, maybe,
it’s time to consider making some changes. Maybe try some
interactive game nights, some different entertainers, ask for
the members suggestions and give them a try.
Communication is key. Share info in lodge newsletters,
weekly group texting programs, bulletin boards and even
door to door direct mailing in local zip code of lodge. There
is a difference between soliciting and promoting. We can
promote all day long.
Thanks for a great workshop.

Some of the goals of the workshop were to help us: Submitted by Rhonda Shockley, West Boca 2273
understand our members; recruit and retain; examine is- .
sues that prevent us from reaching our goals and develop
ideas to achieve our membership goals; and re-energize
everyone in attendance
Some say we are lost in the 50s and we need to adapt to
some of the changes being made. One coworker made us
chuckle by sharing an example that she had conversing
with a fellow coworker who was upset how things have
changed over the years and will continue for years to
come. The example shared was that years ago women did-
n’t come out in public or attend meetings without having a
girdle, garter and hose on but nowadays that’s not the
case. And on that specific day the upset coworker had no
hose on and has made changes herself without realizing it.
It was shared that - NO REASON TO STAY, IS A REA-
SON TO GO, meaning that members do not come into
the social quarters to be ignored or sit alone. They come
in to enjoy a cold beverage, a good conversation, a nice
meal, or enjoy fun events. What happens in the social
quarters is a huge part of why we are members. Be friend-
ly and treat members as family - a hello, handshake or hug
and simple conversation goes along way.
If you see the decline in participation at your events, may-
be, it’s time to consider making some changes. Maybe try
some interactive game nights, some different entertain-

Moosehaven residents went to the Jacksonville
Memorial Cemetery for “Wreaths Across Amer-
ica” in December. There was a large turnout
from the City. Things started with a ‘fly over”
and a program and then it was time to place the
wreaths.. Moosehaven residents were glad to
help. Moosehaven’s “Gold Star Mother” Rena
Croft was with us to help place a wreath.

Polar Plunges
Brothers and Sisters, A new year has started and we have two chances to increase our com-
mitment to Special Olympics and have fun.
We have the Polar Plunge at Tampa’s Ad-
venture Island on Saturday March 21, and
at the Mid-year Conference Lunar Plunge at
Orlando’s Rosen. If you’ve been planning for
one or the other, now is the time to start
hustling up some bucks. Of course the Tam-
pa venue will be a greater challenge with
cooled down water, but with incentives. The
Orlando venue the evening of March 30 will
be in a more pleasant temp with our Broth-
ers and Sisters rooting us on. Don’t forget
the theme this year is Hippies—wear your
bell bottoms, tie-dyed shirts and a flower in
your hair.
You can register for the Tampa Plunge on-
line now at www.plungefl.org team name,
“FMA Heard of Moose,” raise your bucks
send them in or bring them with you. Time
will be forth coming on gate opening and
time of the Plunge.
May the Moose be with you,
Carl S. Toth, FMA Special Olympics Chairman, ctfbma@brighthouse.com
