NEVER PAY DUES AGAIN

At Nashville, the new Membership Campaign was unveiled and we members are the receiptants of the best program that has come along for a long time. Complete information is contained on the International Moose Web-Site but in a "Nutshell" it is:

* Sponsor two members every year and received paid up dues for
that current year. A great incentative for yourself, your
Lodge and increasing our financial security for both Mooseheart
and Moosehaven.

* Life Members are not left out and will receive benefits also for
meeting the same requirements so be sure and check the web-site
for details.

Each Lodge and Chapter should be receiving information on this program shortly if it hasn't been received by now. Also this will assist our State Association in our Growth so come aboard and get your dues paid forever.

NASHVILLE CONVENTION SHOWS NC SPIRIT

Monday, July 26, 2010

Monday, July 26, 2010

With all the difficulties that our friends in Nashville encountered, the face they put on for the Moose was tremendous. The "Welcome Mat" was out through-out the city and we were thanked individually for the Moose not pulling out and going elsewhere.

The downtown part of the city sustained great damage as did Opryland, but you couldn't tell it by the appearance of the area and the spirit of the citizens.

Our members were welcomed at every turn and it was a great convention climaxing with Brother Jeepy being elevated to the position of International Supreme Governor. The events were plentiful and those of us who took advantage had a great time.

We look forward to the upcoming Greensboro Convention in August with the same anticipation that we did on going to Nashville as we again will celebrate with Brother Jeepy and others of our North Carolina Association who accepted various awards or were appointed to the Supreme Council. Look forward to seeing all of you there.

We've attempted to capture some of the spirit and fun of Nashville in our Photo Album so be sure and take a peek.

The following is a guideline to help make the Lodge Officers aware of the responsibilities expected of them and is meant to work along with the Moose International Calendar. Your attention to detail will go a long way in insuring that you have a sucessful Lodge Operation.

1) Report a new member as enrolled when fees and dues have been collected and there has been a favorable vote at a General Membership Meeting. Former members are reported when Fees and Dues are paid and voted on. Your Lodge is expected to report at least one per month.

The Jr Past Governor should see that the form is filled out completely following all instructions and mailed in by May 20th. There are no excuses for delays. As with all paperwork and records, you should make copies for your own files.

8) The Administrator of each of the North Carolina Lodges should inquire of the Regional Manager the first week in May who in their Lodge qualifies for their Rookie of the Year and present their names to the Lodge Board of Officers to make a selection. The Administrator should then see that the form is filled out correctly following all directions and mailed in by May 20th.

9) The Administrator should turn over to the Lodge Moose Legion Chairman ( making sure that a copy has been made ) the Moose Legionnaire of the Year form as soon as he receives it and informing the Board of Officers he has done so. The Lodge Moose Legion Chairman should then follow all instructions and fill out the form correctly and mail it in by June 20th.
(All three of these forms are to be sent early by certified mail in accordance with North Carolina Moose standards to ensure that we are 100% in reporting)

10) North Carolina Moose Association Per Capita Dues for each Lodge are due by June 1st.

11) NCMA Membership Campaign is on going(NC CASH) and requires each Lodge to send in $2 per new or former member your Lodge sponsored for the calendar year ( May 1st -April 30th) to State Secretary by June 1st.

12) IRS Tax Form 990 is due September 15th of each year.

13) NC Sales Tax is due monthly. Social Security, unemployment tax paid monthly and all operating permits paid on time(alcohol-ect.)

14) Inventory of merchandise must be done at the end of each month and calculate the cost of sales, evaluate losses and move to correct problems.

15) Monthly Financial reports sent to Moose International.

16) Quarterly Prevention and Loss report and what was done to correct problems.

17) Reports of Membership campaigns and information from the NCMA and Moose International should be put in the Lodge Newsletters, posted on the LODGE Bulletin Board, and read at social functions and at the General Membership Meetings by Membership Committee members.

18) Membership Retention Committee members should contact past due members personally and encourage them to remain a member and if they do not want to then find a reason why and report those reasons to the Board of Officers so they can correct problems in retaining our members.

19) Have a preferred member party( members who have sponsored a new or former member) quarterly as a reward and invite all new members during that quarter (their spouses can be invited and it can be a joint party between the men and women) allowing the new members to meet more members and explain the workings and activities of your Lodge.

20)Report a list of your new officers to Moose International and NCMA Secretary each year by May 10th.

21)Form for Yearbook of all the Lodges and Chapters and their Officers should be sent to NCMA Yearbook Chairman with a check of $50 by June 1st of each year.

22)Lodge Officers are required to attend the Leadership seminar in May of each year and at the very least, every other year.

23)Tips seminar must be attended by all Administrators and Bar Stewards. Lodge officers should attend that serves alcohol. The cost is $35 per person and those attending become certified for three years.

24)Governor and Administrator are required to attend all District meetings, NCMA and Moose International Conventions.

25)Communications from NCMA and Moose International must be read at your Lodge General Membership Meetings.

26) Minutes should be kept accurately for all meetings on the proper forms and kept on file and must be signed by the Governor and Administrator as soon as they are approved at the General Membership Meeting.

27)Constant recognition of any member who attains awards or performs outstanding service to Lodge, Moose Legion, NCMA and Moose International.

28)Board should encourage committees to stay active and recognize those that are performing well and if unsuccessful the Governor should replace the Chairman if he deems necessary.

29)Forward in the Good and Onward in the Right book and the General Laws are the guidelines on how your Lodge is to be run and the duties of all Lodge Officers and Committees. Study these books to know your jobs and perform them to the best of your ability.

30)Your Board of Officers meetings and your House Committee meetings are to be separated and no House Committee business is to be brought to your Lodge General membership meeting. Discussions in these meetings are confidential and should not be discussed with the general membership as this officer didn’t vote for this or blame any other Officer for voicing his opinion. Officers must accept a majority decision and be unified at the conclusion of their meetings.

31)Insurance bills must be paid on time and policies should be keep in a safe place with photos of all Lodge property. A copy should be made available for the Board of Officers to view quarterly and for the District President to verify upon his visits.

32)Each and every month must have an organized fundraiser for the Lodge and at the very least these should be planned out six months in advance. They should not to take away from events of the District, Moose Legion, NCMA and Moose International. Fundraisers can involve public on two occasions with the same type of fundraiser and the Lodge can keep all the funds. Fundraisers giving a portion of the monies raised to community service projects can be held as often as you would like as long as alcohol is not involved. This is mentioned twice because it’s importance can’t be stressed enough.

33)All Officers should remain positive whenever around members. Remember that members should be treated as customers and their return patronage is the lifeblood of your lodge and every other business. We are a private non profit organization whose privileges are only afforded to our member. We have to take the time to support our fraternal objectives; Mooseheart, Moosehaven, Community service and activities for all ages. That does not mean that we should not operate as a business as it is necessary to pay the bills as well.

Some of the required reporting dates may be early compared to Moose International, but the Lodges of North Carolina should be the first to get their reports in and not take chances on reports being turned in late that would affect your Lodge’s and our Association’s members from receiving awards and recognition they so richly deserve. Now is the Time to make North Carolina shine!
