The chapter is working hard at conducting fundraisers to meet our obligations to MooseHeart and Moosehaven.

We would like to thank Rose, Linda, Ellen, and Thelma for their generous donations to our Friday night raffles.

            Many of your Chapter and Lodge officers will be attending the upcoming Annual MD-DE-DC Association Convention scheduled for the last weekend of August, therefore our Chapter dinner has been moved to the 2^nd Saturday this month only. This also includes the Family movie that I have been showing following the Chapter dinner.  Despite the schedule change, it will be well worth coming to dinner at the Lodge on August 14^th. We will be having a crab cake & soft crab combo, followed by Alice in Wonderland.  

            We have two fundraising raffle ticket sales going on right now. The first one is for a ‘Bud Lite’ Adirondack chair complete with cup holders in both arms- it’s a great chair to sit out under the shade tree and watch the sunset with a cold drink (even ice tea will work) in each cup holder! This raffle will be drawn on Saturday, July 31^st.  Chances are $1 each or 6 for $5. 

            The second raffle is for a MINI-CHOPPER! The mini-chopper was graciously donated by Johnny ‘Lightning’.  This raffle will not be drawn until December 9^th, but that’s just in time for Christmas, what a great present that could make!  The bike has a 49cc engine.  Tickets are $5 each or 3 for $12.  There are already a few members who have their eyes on winning this cool bike. Both the bike and the chair are on display in the Lodge and there are tickets available at the bar, see your Chapter officers, Ellen, Dottie or me for tickets.

            We can always use volunteers in the kitchen on Chapter dinner night. If you have a specialty or a special request for the menu, please, let me know or come to the meetings and let us know.

            Looking for a quiet and cool activity to do with your kids, come to Family Movie Nite. I have a bunch of Disney movies. If you have a favorite you’d like to see, let me know. If I have it or can get it for the next month, I will.

We will be holding our Quartermania bingo on Monday, August 23^rd at 6 pm. Come on out and support your Chapter and may be win some money without all the confusion of the various ‘special’ games. Just plain and simple bingo.

            We would like to welcome our new and ‘returning’ members: Linda Adkins, Stacy Reid, Kathy Wolfe, Laraine Gajewski and Tammy Provost.

            I am looking for suggestions on meeting nights and times that would afford everyone the opportunity to participate in our Chapter meetings and having your voices heard.  Please call me and give me some feedback at 410-968-1667.
