Lodge Clean Up Day
WOW!!! What a turnout for the Lodge Cleanup Day on May 1st An amazing amount of work was accomplished in a few short hours by this great group of volunteers. As the Moose fraternal adage goes, “A burden heavy by one Lodge Clean Up Day-continued
is borne lightly by many”. We want to note that our youngest volunteer was 8 years old and the oldest volunteer was 82 years young!!
Thank you!!! Helpers: Tom Bishop Sherry Bishop Bob Boucher Mike Dean Rhonda Dean Aaron Dean Abby Field Debra Galinsky Chuck Garrity Eric Greer Jeannie Herrod Donny Johnson B. J. Love Bob Marshall Maureen Marshall Wally Roy Dolph Toigo Jim Towle Nicky Wolfe Ken Wolfe

50-Year Member!
Congratulations to George Kageleiry, who just celebrated his 50th anniversary as a member of the Moose.
Our own Shining Star!
Congratulations to our own Mike Dean. Mike was chosen as the Rookie of the Year for the entire Northeast and has been selected as one of five Shining Stars by Moose International! A ceremony will be held at the national convention in Nashville in July to recognize these five people and to announce the top Shining Star. Uncle Moose needs you!
We have a couple of large events coming up that we need help with. There will be a poker run to benefit the Dover Children’s Home and our own kid’s sports scholarship on August 28. We’re gonna need all hands on deck. If you are interested in helping out, see Dave Curry or Marc McLean. Our 70th anniversary is right around the corner. We are looking for volunteers to help organize and plan this tribute to those who came before us to make Dover the great Lodge that it is. If you would like to be a part of this committee, see Jim Towle or Dan Moynahan.

Yard Sale
The yard sale held May 15th was a huge success. Thanks to the combined efforts of Bob Marshall, Arthur McGlone and Ken Wolfe, the Lodge was able to present the Cocheco Valley Humane Society with a check for $1443.00. Thanks to everyone who donated items, those who shopped for new found treasures and to BJ Love who helped out on the floor the day of the sale.
Cribbage Players
The Monday night cribbage players ended their season on April 26th. Because of some bad luck for a few of the players, who will remain nameless, the kids coming to New England this year from Mooseheart will benefit. $126.00 in “skunk” money collected will go to help bring the kids here. Thanks to all of the Monday night cribbage players. We will start up again around Labor Day.
