1 La Habra Moose Lodge No MOOSE TALK The Friendly Little Lodge Website: lahabramoose.com April 2010 Volume 796 Issue No. 216 Governor's Message As my term as Governor comes to its end I am going to take this moment here to thank those who have supported me throughout. I want to say how much I have enjoyed the opportunity to serve. It has been a challenging and rewarding experience participating in the growth of our lodge. Last month, we had a fantastic turnout for St. Patrick s Day. I must thank those who volunteered..frances Casey, Debbie Balthazar and Roger Jones. I could not have done it without them. In other news, Rick Balthazar and I just returned from Reno attending a mandatory Moose Convention. We both learned much as we participated in the day-long meetings. Thank-you once again. Sincerely - RPD.. With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us finish the work; we are in.abraham Lincoln Administrator s Corner Four years ago on February 10 th our Lodge had posted on the front door a 72 hour notice to vacate the premises. We owed $18,500 in back rent, over $5,000 in current bills and $26,000 to Moose International. We had a diminishing membership of around 80 members. I asked Shabbir Saifee if he would consider giving us two weeks to come up with a business plan which would outline a possible solution to start making a real effort to get out of the mess before he foreclosed on the La Habra Moose Lodge. He granted us two weeks to the day to start paying him for the current rent on a two week basis along with a small payment to the past debt. The business plan I proposed to Shabbir stated that we would try with all of our effort to start a WOTM Charter. It took two years to get the WOTM their Charter. The WOTM now have over 140 members along with 210 LOOM members making our Lodge over 350 strong. Our back rent is completely paid off and we have been current with Shabbir for the past two years. Our current rent with our property tax is $2, every two weeks or 14 days. Our Moose International dept is under $15,000 and going down every month. The LOOM started a $10 per day savings account a couple of years ago and have not missed one day adding to the savings account. We pay all of our bills on time. The WOTM have showed an increase in their account every year of their existence. Aloong with the financial success of the Lodge, we have made many improvements to make the La Habra Moose Lodge one of the nicest Lodges anywhere. I would like to thank each and every person who has been a Board of Officer over the last 6 years, and each and every WOTM who has been an officer of the WOTM. These are people who truly are concerned about what Moose is all about. I would like to thank all of our members who come and participate in Lodge dinners and functions. I would like to thank each and every member who signs new and qualified members to our Lodge. I would especially like to thank our bartenders who without them we would not be so successful. To the few who come to complain, I d like to say get involved and enjoy all of the nice people and functions we have to offer. We listen to corrective criticism at the General Meetings. Thank you all. I am personally proud of the La Habra Moose Lodge and all of its fine members.
