TRUNK OR TREATING

Sunday, October 29th 5:00-6:00

I’m already hearing people talking about their ideas for this years Trunk or Treat. So, start planning out

your ideas! The more the merrier!

The KIDS can go from one car trunk, tailgate or hatch to the next, in the parking lot at

Dixonville Moose Family Center - asking for treats the safe way.

In a phenomenon that's part trick-or-treating, part tailgating and part friendly competition, trunk-or-

treating is a safe alternative to the Halloween tradi-tion of children strolling through neighborhoods in

the dark and knocking on strangers' doors for candy.

Farmer’s Market

Every Saturday from 11:00—2:00

Any member from Dixonville Moose can set up a table to sell their items at the Moose Farmer’s Market. There is no charge for our members to set up a table in our back room. All we ask if they keep the items at a reasonable price. We appreciate our members helping our Moose family and our community to be able to enjoy good nutritious foods.

August Volunteers of the Month were… Dan Hopkins, Jamie Cooper, Chris & Bev Baker

Membership Campaign

A short-term campaign for membership...

1. Active Military/First Responders Promotion Overview: Members of the military and first responders have always been individuals who have gravitated towards the Moose, often providing effective leadership for our lodges and chapters. In almost every case, they are solid members of their communities and productive members of the fraternal unit in which they belong. This program focuses on these two groups and offers a significant cost savings for new individuals who may be interested and asked to join the Moose. Time frame: January 1, 2017 – December 31, 2017 Program: Moose International will waive all fees and dues for a new or re-enrolled member as a pilot program endorsed by the Supreme Council and Grand Council. Men and women of the military (active) and first responders could potentially join at no cost if your lodge or chapter waives its portion of the dues as well. However, these new members should be asked to attend orientations, functions, dinners, social quarter’s activities and Heart of the Community efforts that will more than make up for the lost revenue. Additionally, members of both groups who join the Moose via this program should be urged to promote membership to their colleagues, thus increasing the impact of the program. Further, this group would be excellent candidates for advancement to higher degrees, including the Moose Legion. As part of the program, the Moose Legion Council is also waiving all international dues and fees for any current active military or first responder, as well as all new members of these groups who qualify during the proposed time frame. Who Is Included? Active Duty Military: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Active Reservist First Responders: Law Enforcement, Firefighters (full-time and volunteer), Paramedics, Emergency Medical Technicians. National Guard members and Border Patrol officers – have been added to the original list of active military members and first responders.

Youth Awareness (Scholarship)

We are looking for 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th grade students that would help educate preschool and elementary school aged

children on a topic of their choice. Dixonville Moose will give a $1,000.00 Scholarship to those

students that complete the Youth Awareness Program.

Students are selected based on academic achievement and leadership qualities. Those who attend an Association Youth Awareness Congress are asked to create a Moose KidsTalks presentation by selecting a topic and developing a presentation around that topic. They are then asked to find opportunities, with the assistance of their sponsoring Moose Lodges and/or Women of the Moose Chapters, to speak to groups of 4 to 9 year-old children. There are numerous sources for potential audiences: scouting units, elementary schools, day care centers, Sunday School classes, Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs and YMCA youth programs just to name a few.

Each student is asked to present a minimum of three (3) Moose KidsTalks. They are also asked to complete written reports on their presentations and submit them to their respective Association Youth Awareness Coordinator. In early May each year, approximately 60 students, who attended Association Youth Awareness Congresses and completed the minimum of three (3) Moose KidsTalks presentations, are selected by their peers to attend the International Youth Awareness Congress. Those students have a chance to win scholarships in the amounts of:

1st Place – $12,000 • 2nd Place – $8,000 • 3rd Place – $5,000 • 4th Place – $3,000 • 5th Place – $2,000

For more than 25 years, we have organized high school students into a highly effective speakers’ bureau with the goal of educating preschool and elementary schoolaged children on a variety of topics, including drug and alcohol abuse, child abuse, “stranger danger”, bullying and peer pressure, and healthy habits and nutrition. More than 1,000 energetic teens gathered last year at State and Provincial Moose Association Youth Awareness Congresses throughout the United States and Canada. They listened to guest speakers, exchanged ideas and used their creativity to help themselves and others to deal with adverse elements in their own communities. Several students drew from their own personal experiences in determining how they could assist in preventing future tragedies.

Some of the students that attended these State/Provincial Congresses were already leaders in school or community youth programs; others became leaders as a result of the knowledge and experience they gained because they attended. At Association Youth Awareness Congresses, participants focus on creating Moose KidsTalks, which are presentations to be given to 4 to 9 year-old children in their communities. Adults may provide information and inspiration, but the ideas for the students’ KidsTalks are all their own. They develop ways to empower children to make healthy choices or to resist danger, and they go home determined to put them into practice. The best part of Moose KidsTalks is the lengths to which the teenagers will extend their creativity. Some use costumes and take on alternate personas; others use props, pictures, puppets or coloring books; still others use skits or games to add audience participation to their presentations. As their experience as a presenter grows, so too does their ability to keep the children engaged.

The 2017 PMA Youth Awareness Congress will be held in 9/16/2017—Highland SC #2699 or 10/7/17—Huntingdon FC #223 or 10/21/17—McSherrystown FC #720.

At this meeting you will learn all the information you need to create a Moose KidsTalks presentation.

If you know someone that is interested in educating the young children in our community and a chance to be awarded at least a $1,000 Scholarship… Please contact Denise Fetsko at 724-254-9572.
