2015 A YEAR THAT WE NEED TO INCREASE OUR MEMBERSHIP
__________________________________________________________________________________________
BIG SIR MIKE JOHSON 877-7375
I’d like to start off this months article to spotlight our newest SIR’s - Dean Rice and Cy Morris, and
we have 3 others who submitted applications. A warm welcome to our Branch.
Overall our last SIR meeting went well, I did spend a few extra minutes covering the current
item for our Branch members - joining the Moose Lodge. I’ve had quite a bit of conversation with
many of you over these past few weeks and our leaders out side of the Branch, on the transition
we are experiencing. I felt it was important to try to answer as many of your questions and
hopefully supplied acceptable responses to those members with sticking points on joining the
Moose Lodge. 27 of our SIR’s applied for membership to the Moose Lodge at Wednesdays
meeting. I just learned each of them were approved, with the number of 27 and what we already had as Moose members,
approximately 65 of our Branch are now members of the Moose 2227 Lodge. I understand a few more plan to join at our next
meeting.
A question that many are wondering is how many members have we lost due to the transition, my last count shows
approximately 20 - Transferred to Branch’s 82 or 135; 1 applied for Inactive Status - prolonged travel was what I was informed; 5 Resigned, 3 - Personal reasons, 1 - Moving, 1 - Unknown. This brings the total to 25 of our friends decided to try another Branch
or move on. I know we all wish them the best and we’ll readily accept each of them if they decide to return to our branch,
because they’ll have more fun with us. I’m certain many are wondering what our new membership total is after the 25 or so
departures? I’m guessing we’ll settle around 75 or so with he new members who just join us. Dave Moore - Membership
Chairman will have more up to-date information at our next meeting as we receive the ‘Official’ transfer notices from the other
Branches.
Bowling; our Activity Chairman - Paul Plaskiewicz, has decided to transfer to Branch 135. Paul will continue to act as the
Bowling Chairman, representing each of the Branch’s on the Ridge and for those in Chico who wish to continue to join the good
times at the Tall Pines, in Paradise. There will be no changes other than Paul will be attending his SIR meetings at the Eagles. I
spoke to Paul and he is working on finding someone in our Branch to represent the bowling groups so we will have timely
information and to work with anyone wanting to join the league.
Branch 52 SIR’s - advertisement. The Moose Lodge Officers have approved the request for our Branch to place an advertising
sign with the Moose Lodge’s sign at the main entrance way on the Skyway. And, they said we can place our signage atop the
Moose Lodge sign for higher visibility. Randy Bullock came up with the idea. Our next step is for the Moose Officers approval of
the proposed signage and our BEC approval for the funding. Now that’ll be some great advertising on one of the busiest traveled
points in our area.
Thank you!! Bob McCormick. Bob donated 2 boxes of books to the Moose Lodge, They were delivered prior to the start of our
last meeting. He said he’s read all of them so it was best to find them a good home. With that information for those of you who
love to read a good book, check out the library at the Moose Lodge. They have what I understand is an exchange program, bring
one and take one home. I cruised through the shelves of books located in the Bar area between the main entrance and the
entrance to the dining room and found many soft and hard cover books I know I’ll be looking for as soon as I finish the one I have
now.
For our meeting in March, use the Members Main Entrance that takes you directly into the Bar area. As you enter the
Dining Room you’ll see to your right the tables and seating will be arranged appropriately for the Treasurer, Attendance, LunchOut, Golf, Raffle and other Activities.
Lastly, check out the newest button on our Web Site. The information, as you read through it provides good details on what is
and what is not covered by the SIR’s Insurance Policy.
