Congrats Jeannie Wentworth on winning the Mini
Bike Raffle!
Cordy, when are you going
to do something with your
talent? And where is Kill
Roy? Hint: not in the lobster. Can’t wait to see more
ceiling tiles go up, it looks
awesome so far! Ceiling tiles
are $50 per year and what
you pay your artist is between the two of you. Please
don’t forget our artists put a
lot of effort into painting
your tiles. Keep the criticism
to yourself you only bring
the Lodge down.

As a result of changes made to the General Law at the National Convention, it is now possible for women to sponsor
men into L.O.O.M. and men to sponsor women into
W.O.T.M. Men still can’t join W.O.T.M. and visa versa. But
hey… we’re all one big happy family anyway. Go Moose :)

Sickness and Distressed
From the Governor
We’ll just have to
get along. That’s
what people do, you
know. They just get
along. And try to
help each other.

The Moose Lodge is currently on
the look out for the spider who
allegedly killed Bill Mooney’s
Beta fish, Homer. The suspect
has eight creepy little legs and
was last seen with a piece of
Homer’s blue fin sticking out of
his mouth. If the spider is
spotted, consider him very
dangerous and squish
immediately. Please contact Mr.
Mooney if you think you may
have seen the suspect.
Thank you Eleanor Whalen for the spaghetti dinner
you put on. It tasted great and we appreciate the
money raised for the building fund. Also, thank you
James Bryant for keeping the lawn mowed. A building that will serve as a storage shed was given to the
Lodge along with $500 for Christmas for kids and
$500 for heating oil by Priscilla McFarland in
memory of Teddy McFarland.
November 15th from 1-5pm will
be a Celebration of Life for Tracy Lemoine at the VFW.
Please keep Larry Beal and his
family in your thoughts and
prayers. His brother-in-law,
Grant Perkins, recently passed
away.
Great job everyone with taking care of our Lodge.
Keep up the good work.
From the Bar Manager
Your Governor,
Jack Wentworth
Would like to have an idea of how
many people are willing to help with
painting the Social Quarters sometime after Thanksgiving. Any one
willing to help, please see me.

Find your way to Kilroy
Kilroy is a Moose?
My father served, as a chief signalman, on a United States Aircraft Carrier in the South Pacific
during WW2. as a child my father
would tell me strange stories of a
mysterious soldier who would
leave signs in the jungle islands,
on beaches, in buildings and even
floating on the water in a bottle.
To me, these first hand accounts
of Kilroy, from my father, seemed
more real to me than my favorite
TV heroes like Tarzan and Superman. Kilroy was always ahead of
everyone else. Kilroy … was truly.. HERE!
In Washington D.C. a memorial
is engraved in stone, of Kilroy’s
famous “peeking over a wall” face
with his graffiti slogan “Kilroy
was here”. This memorial is in
honor of all the GI’s of WW2
who fought and died for our freedoms. To my knowledge, this is
the only graffiti art to ever hold
such a place in American history.
As a member of the Ellsworth
Moose Lodge it is a great pleasure
to carry on the Kilroy legend as a
“stand in” for the real “Kilroy”.
We all, as members, give to many
who never really know us and I
guess in a way, we are all
“Kilroy’s” in the hearts of folks
who we try our very best to help
with what we have to offer. To all
the Kilroy’s who give at the
Moose everywhere… Thank you!
My childhood dream continues,
Signed… Kilroy

Note from your Community Service
Coordinator
I would like to thank all that donated to the food box in the
Social Quarters for the Emmaus Shelter. They are in need of
many items, especially with the winter months coming so
fast.
My heart and prayers go out to the Lemoine family, keep
them in your prayers.
We will be having our Halloween Costume Exchange Party
on October 18th from 4pm-7pm. There is a box in the Social
Quarters for candy and costumes. There will also be a sign
up sheet for volunteers, so bring your children and grandchildren and come enjoy games, face painting, monsters and
many items to eat.
Thanks to all,
Debbie

Mooseketeers
The Mooseketeers were able to raise enough
money to give five area schools two backpacks a piece. Each backpack was packed
full with school supplies to be distributed
where the school staff thinks the greatest
need is. A huge THANK YOU to the members who donated money or school supplies
and the Mooseketeers for raising money at
the car wash! Thank you Chuckie, Dana
and Pat Jordan for your generosity the final
shopping Day! Also, for your help delivering backpacks.
On the bottle drive $300 was raised to send
to Down Syndrome Awareness! Great job to
all involved! The Mooseketeers are off to a
great start thanks to all the support from our
members and our community! A special
thanks to Jack, Lenny and Debbie for cancelling your plans to spend the day helping
out the kids! Also, the Lodge and our members for donating their bottles and cans!
The third Saturday of every month the Mooseketeers will meet at the Ellsworth VFW.
Contact Christie or Cordy if interested in
signing up.
