The Legend of the “Locked Horns”:

In the primeval wilds of the northland, two noble moose, leaders of the herds, met in deadly combat. Today their locked antlers, a silent reminder of the futility of antagonism and conflict, lie bleaching on the plains. We meet tonight as Brothers united in a common cause. Let the spirit of harmony and fraternal regard guide our deliberations. Otherwise we will be blinded to the lesson of the “Locked Horns?

Recited at every LOOM General Meeting it is the responsibility of the Governor to memorize and tell the “Legend” to all who are present. At least now it is, because this and other portions of the opening ceremony were abandoned by Moose Inter- national some time ago for a “New” less meaningful format. Well the Old has returned and the New “lies bleaching on the plains.”

I truly think this is the hardest article I've had to write in the last 2 and a half years. It is my last, and I really don't know where to begin!! So, first I would like to give a BIG Thank You, to all of you that put your faith and trust in me and gave me your continued support through thick and thin as your Administrator. I can't begin to tell you how great you have all made me feel, because as you well know I came in to this job about as "green" as you can get. Also, there is absolutely no way I could have succeeded without my side kick Judy Shriver, better known as my second wife, (in her husband's terms) as she donated so much of her time and savvy technical ex- pertise, making my life much easier. She was truly a life saver for me and I can't thank her enough. MUAHH JUDY!!!

Time does fly when you are having fun, seems like just yesterday I was writing my first article as Senior Regent, now here I am writing my final arti- cle as the Moose year and my term comes to an end. We have done so much and made such great strides in making our Chapter and Lodge a fun and enjoyable place to spend time and celebrate our lives. With the mid-year convention in Reno and several events planned for these months ahead, I hope you continue to love your Moose and help make it a better Lodge and Home away from Home.

“LOOM Nominating Committee Meeting”

It’s that time of the year again, when the Officers, and Members, begin the quest for new members of the Board of Officers for Kearny Mesa Lodge #1852. The Nominating Committee consists of the 8 Elected Officers of the Board of Officers, the 5 most re- cent Past Governors (not currently serving on the Board), and 5 members “who are either Appointed Officers, Committee Chair- men or Past Governors (either honorary or by service).”

The 5 Past Governors, in order of Juniority, AND currently residing in the area, NOT currently serving on the Board of Officers are John Chaney, ‘Bud’ Booth, H. James Gray, Gary McGrath, and Dave Warner.

In addition, I ask Gary Upton (Audit Committee Chairman), Tony Dack (Application Review Committee) PG Joe Grubb (Building Committee Chairman),  and PG’s and Pilgrims Chuck Dombrow and Bob Mackay to fill the 5 remaining chairs on the Committee. The 1st Meeting of the Committee will be Thursday, February 25th, at 10:00 AM at the Lodge, with succeeding meetings to be de- cided by the Committee at its organizational meeting.

Any Member wishing to join the Board of Officers is encouraged to submit his name to the Committee for consideration. Nominat- ing forms are available from the Lodge Office, or in the Social Quarters.

Fraternally,
Bill Thompson, PG
Nominating Committee Organizer




Kearny Mesa Moose Bathroom Remodel

The Moose Legion has done nearly all the remodels or enhancements to the lodge that you have seen or are currently using today. The Moose legion is the backbone to the Lodge itself and continues to make the lodge a better place to enjoy your time. The Legion has taken on such projects as remodeling the front patio, the kitchen floor tile, and the most recent projection wall. Currently we are taking donations for both the Men and Women’s restrooms in the social quarters. We need around $4000.00 to complete the project. We have had some donations and help from our members already with the donation of floor epoxy and some money to start the project. We are also looking at hopefully getting some new stalls donated as well. We know the restrooms are well over due for a little TLC. See myself or any Board of Officer to see how you can help. If you are currently not in the Moose Legion, ask me how to join.

Fraternally,

Chad Watson PG
Moose Legion Chairman
