| Chuck Dombrow, Past Governor A Job Well Done by the Kearny Mesa Board of Officers The Kearny Mesa Lodge, Board of Officers for the 2010-2011 year has just completed a very successful year under some stressful conditions. When this Board took over, our lodge was behind on our Gas & Electric, Mortgage Payment, Property Tax, Sales Tax, various Vendors & our resale inventory was way down. It would have been easy for them to blame the past Boards, but they didn’t, instead they decided to clean up all the past due bills and get back in good grace with the Federal & State Tax Boards, along with Moose International. How did they do this? Just by doing what they said they would do when they took the pledge to increase the lodge revenues and increase its membership last April. A special thanks goes out to every LOOM and Chapter member who donated some of their hard earned money to help get the ball rolling. The Lodge and Chapter put on many functions to raise funds to the point, we can say we are caught up with all our utilities, current mortgage payment, sales tax, and yes our property tax, the final payment that was due April 15th was paid, and it was on time. When the current Board took over, the lodge owed the Endowment Fund over $1,500.00. I’m proud to say this Board did not ignore this debt, which they easily could have considering all the other debts. Instead they paid it all back and an additional $1,000 for a total of $2,500.00 for the Moose year. Well done to the entire Board. No Board is successful without the help of the Chapter. Chad Watson and Liz Casillas worked side by side the entire year and the results have been evident. Both have put on activities that appealed to our membership, which brought in revenue and new members. With all the work you have done at the lodge, you still found time to attend District meetings and meet new friends. To each of you and your entire Board, I thank you all. I wish the 2011-2012 Board the same success, remember if you work together you will be just as successful and more so, the ground work has been laid, and keep it going. Make the Premier Lodge Award your 2011-2012 Goal. |

The new board of officer’s , both the LOOM & WOTM will be taking their new office’s on the 1st of May. The Installation will be on April 30, 2011. John Chaney & his crew will be cooking steamboat round. Hope you are here to enjoy a great dinner, see your new board member’s and show them your support. The new hours of the Social Quarters will be as follows: Monday-Thursday 11 am-10 pm, Friday’s and Saturday’s 11 am - 12 pm, and Sunday’s 3 pm - 12/? pm. If a breakfast is scheduled the lodge will be opened earlier. The new costs of dinners on Tuesday’s, Friday’s and Saturday’s( on the LOOM nights) will go up $1.00. We are sorry but as you all have experienced, the cost of food has gone up. The “to go” boxes will now be .25 cents each when your taking home scraps or leftovers from that nights’ dinner unless your original order is placed as a “to go” order. The Bartender’s work for tips only so please be good to them and help them out. Now the good parts - I would like to thank Judy Shriver for all of the work that she has done for me and the lodge on the computer. I could not have done this job without her. Also, a big thank you to Jerry Jackson and Grady Gerber for putting up with me, and to all of the volunteers who helped out all the time . It has been a very good year. And last to Nancy, for all the times I haven’t been home with her, thank you for your understanding, patience, and support. Come out and support your new Board of Officer, Dan McCarte Administrator |
Members, As my year as Senior Regent begins I want to thank everyone that helped celebrate in the Installation. I’m especially grateful to the wonderful installation team and lots of others that put it all together, the ceremony and evening’s event was fabulous. We had a great time bringing in the new Moose year and dancing the night away with music from Slight Return. Of course Linda Thompson went above & beyond as usual, with Nancy Pendleton working side by side decorating and planning to create a very memorable and elegant event for me and the new board of officers. So many of you stepped up and deserve a special thank you: Laurie Eaton & Bobbi Gilbert for the celebration cake, Liz Faust for the flower arrangements, John Chaney for preparing a wonderful dinner, and Bill Thompson for taking care of the photography and name plates. I also need to take this opportunity to thank many more that helped out and offered their support. I really appreciate those of you that agreed to take a chair or volunteered to help wherever needed. Wow it’s really hard to believe I’m serving in this capacity on the board, many will agree that I’m probably known more for having a good time sitting at the bar. However, I’ve met so many amazing people and made lots of new friends here at the lodge. My love for the lodge and my enjoyable experience serving with the last board of officers made it so much easier to step forward and take on this rewarding opportunity. If it wasn’t for Patty Boulder meeting me on that faithful night and signing me up as a WOTM and if it wasn’t for my dear boyfriend Chad Watson that decided to take on the role of Governor this past year, I probably wouldn’t be so involved. May 1st starts a new term for the Board of Officers, but the same great times at the Lodge. I will be calling for all of our co-workers to step up throughout the year to help the LOOM and WOTM to make Kearny Mesa Moose the BEST Lodge. Last year the WOTM and LOOM worked seamlessly to bring you entertainment, dinners, and events to make your membership worthwhile. While continuing to support our greatest assets Mooseheart and Moosehaven, I want to see this year continue those efforts. The lodge runs off smiles and great times, but we the Board of Officers need your help wherever and whenever you can. I myself understand that no one wants to commit or get involved more than they are able, and hope that just a little help from everyone we can become closer friends and a greater Lodge. We do our best to make meetings fun with games and food to help find better ways to advance the Chapter goals for the year, so please come out and join us. The Chapter members will be continuing the Pancake Breakfasts. I can’t forget to thank Deb McGann for coordinating such a great Easter Party for the kids, everyone had a great time and a big Thank you to the Easter Bunny for coming out, Linda Thompson & Chad Watson for all the pictures, Bobbie and her crew cooking the lunches for our kids, Tim Himes for the fabulous face painting, Judy Shriver, Estella Sheplar and everyone that manned the tables, decorating and tearing down. Thanks to all who donated cakes and treats for our kids as well Thanks again for all your support, I really look forward to seeing and working with all of you this up coming year. I can’t wait to partner up with the Greg and the new LOOM & Chapter Board of Officer’s and Committee Chairman.
Your Senior Regent, Bernadette Blanco
