We need more volunteers. If you would like to help out on Friday night dinners, Sunday Jam Sessions, any lodge function or dinner dance, please contact me so I can call you or schedule you for a monthly dinner. With that said, I would like to thank all the volunteers we have now and through the years. It becomes a tiresome job to do all the time, and I really appreciate all you volunteers do for this lodge.
As most of you know, I had a heart attack and as such Carol and I have applied for Moosehaven. So our lodge is looking for a new administrator. You must have computer skills, and a little knowledge of Quickbooks would help also. We probably won”t be leaving for 5 months, so if you are interested please apply quickly so I can give you some training and you can take the classes needed.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
Fraternally,

Mooseheart is a residential childcare facility, located on a 1,000-acre campus 38 miles west of Chicago. The Child City is a home for children and teens in need, from infancy through high school.
Dedicated in July 1913 by the Moose fraternal organization, Mooseheart cares for youth whose families are unable, for a wide variety of reasons, to care for them. Some have lost one or both parents; others are living in environments that are simply not conducive to healthy growth and development. Whatever the reason, the men and women of the Moose, through unparalleled generosity and volunteerism, furnish the resources necessary to care for children in need. The Moose fraternity provides children with a wholesome home-like environment and the best possible training and education.
A Community Focused on Helping Children
Children live in one of thirty residences designed like a spacious single-family home. Each residence is home for six to twelve children.
The heart of the program is Family Teachers providing a consistent, systematic method of care, with emphasis on social-skills development skills essential for success in later life.
It is Mooseheart's policy to admit qualified children who have a need. The Admissions Committee considers all applications of children in need. Look over their website (mooseheart.org) and if we can be of assistance to you or someone you know, please contact the Admissions Office.

On January 12th, our LMLC hosted a free dinner in honor of our Moose Legionnaires from Sunnyvale #2049. Moose Legionnaires and their spouses enjoyed a nice meal and were entertained by “Just Us,” Mike Brodick (vocals) and Ron Pappas (guitar). This was in support of Moose Legionnaire Month which is held yearly during January.
Many thanks to all Moose Legionnaires who attended the event, the entire kitchen crew and the musicians.
Our main upcoming event is our Annual Golden Spot #15 Moose Legion Awards Banquet to be held in April. Dates are: April 12th-14th. International Moose Legion President Chuck Barber will be our Official Visitor.
The Pacifica Moose Lodge will host a dinner for Chuck on Friday April 12th.
If you desire to attend and want Prime Rib, please RSVP to the Pacifica Moose Lodge at: 650-355-1540. Since the dinner at Pacifica is a Friday night lodge function, anyone may attend to honor Chuck.
The annual Golden Spot #15 Awards Banquet will be held on Saturday April 13th. This is an invitation only function and RSVP required. I will be sending out a detailed mailing to all GS #15 Moose Legionnaires.

Welcome a Guest, Then Invite Them to Join
When you come to the lodge for your favorite activities, invite a friend or two to join you. On their third visit, please invite them to become a member of the Sunnyvale Moose Lodge. If you need help with the application form, any officer will be happy to assist you. To join the Sunnyvale Moose Lodge, the cost is $70 for the first year which includes $50 dues and a one-time $20 application fee.
As new members join the Lodge, they are also encouraged to additionally become a member of either the Moose Legion (men) or the Women of the Moose (women).
For only $20 extra per year for Moose Legion members or $15 per year for Women of the Moose members, they provide immense help for our Moose Lodge and the children at Mooseheart. The dues from these two groups provide for the Mooseheart Elementary and High School and support the seniors at Moosehaven by providing dozens of different opportunities for them. In addition, membership dues help provide college scholarship opportunities for our local high school students.
If you are not currently a member of either the Moose Legion or Women of the Moose, consider joining. Extra participation is not required, but if you have time and desire to become more active in these groups we also have a lot of fun!
Fraternally,
Kathy Childs
