We recently had the opportunity to greet and meet six teenagers and their support families visiting from the
Mooseheart residential childcare facilities sponsored by the MD-DE-DC Association. They were greeted on August 1
with refreshments and goody bags followed by an outing to a Blue Rocks ball game. The following day they visited the
Adventure Aquarium in Camden, New Jersey and traveled to Philadelphia to taste the famous Philly Cheese Steak
before returning to their lodging. Numerous other activities and interactions with our members were well received by
the kids. All reports expressed their appreciation of the warm welcome they received from our members.
Many of our members attended the Moose International Convention in St. Louis, Missouri, and also just returned
from our MD-DE-DC Association Summer Conference in Hunt Valley, Maryland, where the Claymont Moose and
members received various awards as follows:
International Awards
5 Star Premier Lodge Award (5th consecutive year)
Jim Sheftz Governor Award of Excellence
Andy Lechette Claymonts Moose of the Year
John Slotwinski 25 Membership Award
We are receiving many compliments on the enhancements performed at the Lodge during the summer months
which mainly consist of the new upholstered seats, removal of the DJ Booth, painting, and a new TV. The Lodge
membership has increased which is felt to be directly associated with these recent enhancements to our facilities.
I want to thank our members and the Women of the Moose who generously volunteered their time and
efforts with greeting and socializing with the Mooseheart teenagers, lodge activities, and the enhancements to our
facilities.
In addition to continued donations to charitable organizations, other efforts are being considered for
enhancements in communication, fundraisers, lodge activities, membership, and facilities. Stay tuned!
Fraternally yours,
Bob Cannon
