A New Year’s Message from your Georgia Moose President:

As this new year begins, I want to wish everyone prosperity, success and health. Our challenge this 2011-2012 Moose Year is to grow our membership. This can be accomplished if:

• Lodge Officers and Social Quarters workers must create an atmosphere of friendliness and welcome for our members and qualified guests.

• Lodges must learn to compete with the Appleby’s, Red Lobsters and Outbacks and offer other activities so we get more participation from our members.

• Our members must talk about the Moose to their friends, relatives and associates, sharing the benefits of being a Moose and about Mooseheart, Moosehaven and our community service programs.

Lastly, take advantage of the "No App Fee" through April 30, 2012, and the "Free Dues" for signing two new or former members.

Have a great year!

  Fraternally,

  Ray Chafin, GMA President
