Home-Made Ice Cream Social Open to the Public

Saturday, August 15th

Join us at from 1:00 to 3:00 on Saturday the 15th

for some

delicious home-made ice cream! We will be serving sundaes,

cones, bowls, and banana splits. This event is for everyone and

is a fundraiser for the WOTM. Bring the kids and grandkids and

treat yourselves too!

Friday Night Dinner and Sunday Morning Breakfast

Our Friday night dinners are in jeopardy! Please sign up to cook

a meal on a Friday so we can keep this tradition going. This can

be anything at all. Come and share your favorite recipe!

Our Sunday Breakfasts are still happening thanks to some of

our wonderful volunteers. Please consider being a part of a

Sunday morning crew. Come down and fry an egg, make an

omelet, or prepare your favorite breakfast casserole as a treat to

your fellow members. We need a few more people to dedicate a

Sunday morning now and then. If you can’t cook, come on

down and EAT!

The Sunday Bingo game is on hold for the summer. Stay

tuned for updates as to when that will resume.

Upper Rogue Members are invited to an Ice Cream

Social prepared by the OMA as a reward for turning in the

most box tops and soup labels. Come on down at 1pm on

Sunday, August 9th

. We are considering having a bingo game

too since we will already be here. An email will be sent out to

let you know if we decide to do bingo and it will also be

announced on our facebook page.

Texas Hold em

Our Hold em games are going strong. We play every Monday

and Thursday at 6pm. We are all there to have a good time so

come on down and have some fun playing cards. Who knows,

you might even win something!

Burgers and Bingo every Tuesday Night!

The Upper Rogue Lodge is the place to be on Tuesdays! The

action starts at 6:00 so come early to order your burgers!

LODGE HOURS

It is our intention to keep the Lodge hours consistent with what

they have been for the past several years. We are now actively

seeking volunteer bartenders for Wednesdays and Fridays.

Many of you are probably aware that Judy Chaney was injured a

few months ago and is still trying to recover. She wants everyone

to know that she misses being there and seeing all of your smiling

faces. It looks like it will be a while before she will be able to

return but she does want to stay on the roster. In the meantime,

please let our bar and kitchen manager, Mike Hansen, know if

there is anyone out there who would like to fill in. The position

requires an Oregon Food Handlers Permit and an OLCC license.

The Lodge will be happy to assist you in obtaining these

credentials if you would like to give it a shot.

The attempted Lodge hours are:

Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri….3:00pm to at least 8:00pm

Sunday…8:30AM to 12:00 Noon

Open Saturdays for Special Events Only

Casino Fundraiser July 25th

a ROARING Success!

Our Lodge was able to raise over $3500 for our beloved friend

and co-worker, Judy Hull and her family. We are sure that it will

relieve a great deal of stress and worry that she has been going

through. THANK-YOU SO MUCH to all of you priceless

volunteers! Without you, it would NOT have been possible.

AND THANK-YOU to all of you who so generously donated

and came to this event! Love and Hugggzzz to you from Marla Allison!

Upper Rogue Lodge Newsletter * August 2015 * page 2

From the Jr. Regent - Cynthia Oliver

Hello everyone- I am writing this column because, sadly, the WOTM Board has had to

accept two resignations in the past month- one from Gianna Sewell-our

Sr. Regent, and the other from Judy Hull-our Recorder. Ladies, we are

thankful for the service you were able to give. By the time this newsletter

is printed, the WOTM hope to have these positions filled.

It seems as if this summer has already flashed by and it’s almost time for

the kids to go back to school! We will be collecting school supplies from

August 1st to September 16th. Please look for the lists of needed supplies

in the dining room and put your donations in the barrel. Your donations

are important and make lasting impressions on the kids.

There will be a training session for the WOTM in Gold Hill on Saturday,

August 29th from 9am to 4pm. Please mark your calendars and make

plans to attend.

The Bunco games will be resuming this month! We will be playing on

the last Saturday of each month from 1pm to 3pm.

Our volunteers are so important to us! If you see someone helping,

please fill out a nomination form and put it in the red polka-dot box by

the lollipop tree. This is one of the ways we keep track and can honor our

volunteers and co-workers. Thanks to all of you!

CO-WORKER OF THE MONTH

Patti Stoerlle is our honoree this month. Patti has been a faithful helper

at our Tuesday Night Bingo games. Not only is she collecting for the

50/50, she and her husband Mike have also been helping clean up and

setting things right after everyone else has left – even though she has

been battling a bad back for years! She has also stepped up to chair the

Activities Committee! Thanks so much for your dedication Patti!

VOLUNTEERS OF THE MONTH

Debi Hale, Judy Barbato and Joe Sewell are our volunteers of the

month. Debi and Judy jumped into the Sunday Morning Breakfast fray

and put a team together to cook and serve 2 Sundays in July. Without

them, there would have been no WOTM breakfasts! You guys saved the

days!

Joe Sewell made sure we had a bartender in some emergency situations,

helped to prepare for meals and has supported our Lodge in many ways

since he has been here. Thanks so much Joe! We need more members

like you!

We Have a New Slate of Officers The assistant district manager for Moose Intl., Mike Hauzenberger, wanted

to help out our Lodge out so he came to Shady Cove and met with our

officers. He got permission from Moose International to appoint Joe

Sewell to Jr. Governor. Nick has moved to Treasurer and the office of

Governor is still vacant. Joe Sewell then appointed Gene Kulesza to

Administrator and Mike Hansen is now Bar and Kitchen manager.

From the Administrator- Hi, I'm your new Administrator, Gene Kulesza. Just call me Gene. We

have a new Board for the Upper Rogue and we think it's going to be fun.

We all believe that we as a MOOSE Lodge should do as the bylaws say.

Our purpose is to support both Mooseheart (our school for children that

parents can't support) and Moosehaven (a Senior citizen community for

those with 15 years as a Moose) where they can retire and know they will

have care to their end days. I have been an administrator in another lodge

for 1 1/2 years and know what we should do and how to do it. I hope you

will support all our leaders and Board members in making our Lodge

something that you, as a member, can be proud of- giving to Mooseheart,

Moosehaven and our local Community needs. Our Local community aid is

currently for Judy Draper Hull and the Casino Night held for her on July

25th. It was a great success for all to benefit Judy.

Governors News-

Hi All! We have a new beginning and our Lodge is going forward with a

new Board of Officers and a New Hope. We need to keep in mind that we

still need volunteers to move forward. The new Board will be there for

everybody. We also need everybody to be there for the Board.

On Aug 29th we are going to have an "Open House". More details to

follow. Keep that date open!

Thank you to Marla and her team for a wonderful Casino Night. And a big

thanks to all that came to support Judy. Let's not forget to keep Judy in our

prayers.

If there are any suggestions you would like to make concerning any

changes you would like to see in the Lodge please let us know, so that we

may move forward on it.

I would like to thank the previous Board Members for getting us through

the hump and kept us going.

Joe Sewell - Jr. Governor

From our new Treasurer -Nick Barbato LODGE 2480 IS NOW CLOSED What a terrible thing to have to read but we’re getting closer and

closer every day.

This is what we are up against if we don’t get some help from

VOLUNTEERS soon. The lodge needs help in every aspect of the

facility. Maintenance, kitchen staff, cashiers, servers, dishwashers, dessert

makers- and all the other jobs that keep a lodge operating. Please donate

your time and ideas. Remember “ONE DAY A MONTH” is all it takes to

keep the lodge afloat. The bartenders and board members of the LOOM

and WOTM will be more than happy to take your name and what day of

the month is best for you. No fair using February 29th as a work date.

I attended a very interesting district meeting in Klamath Falls July 19th

2015. Moose International is introducing some new and exciting ideas and

goals for members. More information to come.

That’s it for now - have a great summer.
