International Convention Updates

As Rick King, our Chief Compliance Officer read the names of Moose International officers, committees, and board members, we learned that Geri Winters (Moscow 871 & 710) joined the Grand Council of the Women of the Moose.  We are so proud to continue to have representation on that body.  Congratulations Geri.

We also learned that Rebecca Hoffarth's time on the Mooseheart Board has come to an end.  WSNIMA has had continuous representation on that board since 2016.  Rebecca represented us well and her Moose future is bright.  In 16 months, she will likely be installed as our President.  Her best years are ahead. We are excited to see where her career takes her.

There are several women that received honors in Milwaukee.  Delores Hollister from Dollars Corner, Bonnie Randolph from Camas, and Celeste Rohde from Nisqually Valley received their College of Regents degrees.  Colleen Flink (Kennewick) and Lois Kotzmoyer (Snoqualmie Valley) received their Star degrees.  Great work ladies!

There were two new gentlemen in the room when the Fellowship Degree of Honor was bestowed.  Randy Knutson from Snoqualmie Valley 1666 and Ray Klamn from Chehalis 1109 are our newest Fellows.  Congratulations!

Last but certainly not least, Heather Morgan is starting her second year on the Moose International Board of Directors.  This is just the beginning of a long term of service on our Fraternity's highest governing body.  We are fortunate to have representation on this board.  There are 43 associations and only 11 seats on the board.  

WSNIMA's 2025 Pilgrim

Kennewick's Rod Burton exited Moosheart's House of God as WSNIMA's newest Pilgrim on Saturday, May 24th 2025.  Rod is a WSNIMA Past President, and has served in every office of his lodge and Moose Legion for over two decades.  To this day, you will find him in the kitchen or doing everything in his power to make sure his lodge succeeds.  This is an honor well earned.  Congratulations to Rod, his wife Kathy, and their family.  This is never achieved alone.

WSNIMA is fortunate to host John early in his year as our chairman.  John and his wife Sharlyn hail from Inverness, Florida Lodge #2112, and will be here in mid-June.  We chose to send them to lodges that haven't had the chance to host a chairman or Supreme Governor in a long time.  Please make your plans now to go to one of these lodges and meet them.  Please note: 1) You don't have to have the meal at any one of the lodges to join in on the visit.  If you want the meal, please RSVP when indicated, and 2) Even though you see John in a tie in the photo above, none of these visits are formal events requiring professional or formal clothing.  John isn't even bringing a coat and tie with him.  Only Moose polos and pants.

John Mangiantini will escort them the first two days and Mike Peabody will host through the end of their visit. If you have any questions, please contact one of them.  Their email addresses are available on the Officers page.

WSNIMA Meets the Mooseheart Dart Boards Goal!

Thanks to your hard work, WSNIMA has met its $8,000 goal to provide two dart boards for the Mooseheart Activity Center (MAC).  The picture above was taken of the actual boards you made possible. In between the boards is Past President, Dave Montonye, whose vision led us to take this project on.  Thank you for your leadership, Brother Dave.  The kids at Mooseheart are teaming up against each other on soft-tipped competition dart boards because we chose to help make a difference.

Thanks to all fraternal units and individuals for your generosity.  Together, we can do anything!

YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Each and every time you pay your dues, donate directly to, or raise money for Moose Charities, you make it possible to take care of these kids that live in the house with our name.  On behalf of a grateful fraternity and association, thanks for being a member and giving of your time and substance so these children have a great quality of life, an education, and most importantly, a bright future.  You make a difference.  Never forget that.
