Governor’s Message Senior Regent’s Message

I would like to thank each and every one of you who assisted me this past year. Not only the Board of Officers, but also the volunteers who prepared the meals and volunteered to help keep our Lodge running.

To the new Board members and to the ones who are staying on as Board members good luck, for being on the Board means more than just having your name on the list in the Social Quarters. There are certain obligations that must be met and

people are counting on you for your dedication to the organization. Enough said...

Again, thank you and please remember what our Lodge and it’s members are all about. The children at Mooseheart and the seniors at Moosehaven

God Bless Mooseheart, Moosehaven and all of our members who support us!

Larry Kelly

Dear Co-Workers,

The year has come and gone and it is time to bid my farewell to all and a special thanks to everyone for their support this year. It has been a pleasure serving as your Senior Regent and I look forward to serving next year as your Jr. Grad Regent.

A special thanks to our WOTM and LOOM Board members, all of the volunteers and co-workers for supporting our events this past year.

I would also like to thank all members

of the Pismo Beach Moose Lodge for their support. I look forward to working with you next year.

We can always use any help that you would like to provide, please contact our Lodge to sign up for events or to volunteer or join us at our monthly meetings!

If you have any suggestions, you can also reach me by email: WOTM 864@gmail.com.

Take care and God bless you all,

Rose Duran

Senior Regent
