GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE:
By: David Simmet
February 22 at 1:00 pm for the
District 4 Meeting at our Lodge.
We will be asking for volunteers to
be on the Elections/Nominations
One month down in the new year,
and we are looking forward to it
being good year.
I would like to say thanks to Steve
Colby for bring his Scissor Lift
out, so Lionel could fix the lights
out back, now we can find our cars
out back ha, ha, ha.
Committee and signing up to be on
the Board for next year.
I would also like thank everyone
who volunteered last month. It is
our members working together that
make our Lodge successful so keep
up the good work.
TUPPERWARE SALES:
By: Laurie Chaidez
I would like to say a special thank
you to Helen Smith for coming in
and fixing a delicious Christmas
Dinner for us. We had a great time
at the New Years Eve party,
everyone had fun dancing and
drinking. Lionel did a great job
playing music and keeping
everyone on their feet dancing.
We also did great with the New
Years’ Day Brunch and had a great
turn out. Thanks to everyone that
helped out at the Party and on the
day of brunch.
On February 7th at 6:00 pm we
will be honoring Jim Smith for his
years working with the blood bank
for the Lodge and for the District.
Please come down and celebrate
with us.
The Board would like to see
everyone on Sunday,
Thanks to Teri Winstead and
Vicki Pratt for the dinners and to
Gary Tugaeff & Jim Cheatle for
bringing Karaoke back every
other Friday night. Come on down
and join them for a great meal and
a great time!
Page 1
Plan to join us for our Sweethearts
Dinner/Dance in February.
Once again, I will be taking orders
for Tupperware with all profits
going to our Chapter. Booklets
will be available at the Lodge or by
contacting me directly at 916-5054159.
As a reminder, these booklets and
order forms are intended for our
members to collect orders from
friends and family. Individual
orders are welcome, however the
more we sell the more benefit to
our Chapter!
Thank you in advance for your
participation in this fundraiser!

BLOOD BANK MESSAGE:
By: Jim Smith
E-MAIL BULLETIN:
By: Kim Spire
Thank you to all members who have donated to the
most wonderful life-saving account - the Moose
Blood Bank account. Just one pint of blood can
save a life - it could be you or one of your loved
ones.
This bulletin is available by e-mail, in color with fast
delivery to your in-box! Please send your full name
(and that of other members in your household) and
e-mail address to: SoSacMoose@comcast.net.
The money saved on printing and mailing the
Bulletin can be put to better use with your
cooperation!
Remember, any child can donate at the age of 16 if
they weigh at least 100 lbs. and the parent or
guardian gives consent. FYI, the current price for a
pint of blood is approximately $2,000! If you are
ever in need of blood, just give our donor number to
your physician and you will not be billed. The
South Sac 255 account number is 3822 and the
District 4 account number is 7170.
Thanks for all your help!
SEEKING BUNCO PLAYERS FOR MONTHLY
GATHERINGS:
By: Laurie Chaidez
If you have any problems, feel free to contact me at
916-389-1103, day or night - I will be happy to help.
I would like to invite you to join in my Bunco
group! However, before I go into that, I’d like to say
“Thank You” to Kim Spire and Rochelle Strasser for
making the tacos on Thursday, January 8th for my
Bunco Group. They were enjoyed by the whole
group and everyone looks forward to the time that I
am the host!
Now, back to joining the group! In the last few
years we have had people drop out for a variety of
reasons. As it is now, we are in need of two more
members to our fun-loving cast of characters.
Contact me on my cell phone if you are interested in
joining (916-505-4159). We play on the first
Thursday of the month and each person gets the
chance to “host” the competition. You can even
“host” at the Moose Lodge as I do!
