Hello everyone,

Our 2024/2025 Moose year is coming to a close. But we still have some work to do. The growth of our lodges and fraternity is so important. It is important to have more people to help our MooseHeart children, Moosehaven seniors, our community, and our lodges. 

As of April 22nd, our overall retention was over 79%, which is not bad, considering we have a goal of 85%. As I have said, our road to growth is paved by retention. I see many lodges are growing already—thank you. There are 16 lodges with a low number of members to grow, with 4 lodges in single digits.

Time to rally the troops, people. Get hold of your CHD committee. Your Council of Higher Degree, along with whoever you have at your lodge handling membership, get on the phone NOW! Ask your administrator to run a phone list of those still due and in arrears. Give them a call, explain to them how important they, like all our members, are, and bring them back to the herd. Let’s close out BIG and grow while increasing our retention percentage.

Sincerely

Dennis Dost – WMA Retention and CHD Chairman
