Subject: UPCOMING TIPS CLASS

     There will be a TIPS class held at the Vinton Lodge #1121, on Monday, February 27th, to begin at 6:00 p.m.  Cost of class is $25, with checks made payable to Leslie Lawson.  In order to have adequate training materials available, it will be necessary to RSVP to Ted Hensley at 540-890-8804 or email the lodge at lodge1121@mooseunits.com, no later than February 20th.  Any questions or comments may be directed to the Vinton Lodge/Ted Hensley.

 

 

 

As Printed in the Official Office Manual for Moose Lodges

 

          By now, every Lodge should know that all their servers of alcohol are required to be certified in either the TIPS (Training for Intervention ProcedureS) program or another state/provincial approved server training program.  We also strongly recommend that social quarters managers and all officers attend a class so they are familiar with the laws and can support their bartenders’ efforts.  Regardless of the program you use, all servers are required to be recertified every three years.
          You are responsible to make sure copies of the servers’ certificates or cards are available for onsite inspection and that copies are sent to the Risk Management Department at Moose International.

They may be sent by fax (6308596624), email or regular mail

          Moose International has mandated that all persons serving alcohol beverages in any Moose Lodge be trained and certified in any approved responsible beverage service program.  This applies to all persons serving alcohol beverages; that is, bartenders, waitresses/waiters, or any other category of persons delivering beverages to patrons.  This includes volunteer bartenders, and volunteer servers.

          The Virginia Moose Lodges have four Certified TIPS Trainers located in various parts of the state so there should be no difficulty for any Lodge to arrange for beverage server training.  The Certified Trainers and their contact information is listed at the top of this document.  Additionally, most major beverage distributors have a TIPS Trainer on-staff, so “in a pinch”, they may be contacted.

          The in-class training method is preferred as our trainers cover not only server training, but material that Social Quarters Managers must know to comply with State of Virginia laws, as well as material specific to the Loyal Order of Moose.  However, in cases where it is impossible for a server to attend an in-class training session, there is an on-line version of the TIPS program at www.gettips.com.  By arrangement with Moose International, Health Communications Inc (HCI) offers a discount to Moose servers, if the promotional code “MOOSEPROMO16” is typed on the “Review Registration” page.  The regular on-line registration is $40.00, but with the 40% discount it is only $24.00.  Here are the instructions for registering for on-line certification.:

1. Go to www.gettips.com/eTIPS.shtml
2. Click on “Take Online Course”.
3. Complete the registration form and click on “Register”.  (Select training for "restaurant, bar, hotel, nightclub, or movie theater)  You will receive a short state regulatory message before coming to the payment form.
4. On the payment form, be sure to type MOOSEPROMO16
(effective June 1, 2011) in the promotional code field.

5. Complete the payment information (credit cards only), (be sure to type "MOOSEPROMO16" in the promotion code field), and take the eTIPS course.

          Click Here to view and print instructions for taking the eTIPS online course.

          Social Quarters Managers are reminded that if a new server is hired, he/she must be trained and certified within 30 days.  He/she may work under the supervision of a certified server during that 30 day period.

          Lodges may contact a trainer directly.  Anyone having questions about the TIPS program should contact Jerry Lloyd, (Certified TiPS Trainer) at (804) 472-2450 or igl@crosslink.net.

All Non-profit Organizations are not created equal

The Moose Fraternity compared to Moose Charities

 

Click Here to View and Print this document in Adobe PDF 

     All nonprofit organizations are not created equal. There have been some questions regarding the deductibility of donations to lodges and Moose Charities. This document is intended to clarify how those donations are treated differently by the Internal Revenue Service.
     Moose International, Inc. is a tax-exempt 501(c)(8) not-for-profit fraternal organization. A 501(c)(8) organization is defined by the Internal Revenue Service as a: Fraternal beneficiary society, order or association operated under the lodge system or for the exclusive benefit of the members of a fraternal beneficiary society, order or association operating under the lodge system which provides for the payment of life, sick, accident, or other benefits to the members of such society, order or association or their dependents.
     All subordinate entities including Moose Associations, Moose Legions, Moose Lodges and Chapters are also classified as 501(c)(8) tax-exempt organizations under the Internal Revenue Code. They are all considered member-benefit organizations and their main purpose is fraternal, not charitable. The tax-exempt function is related to the causes that these groups raise funds for.
     Does this mean that any donations to the lodge are not deductible? No. Donations may be made to the lodge, however, the only charitable tax deductible contributions that are allowed must be used exclusively for religious, scientific, literary, or educational purposes or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals or for the support of a recognized 501(c)(3) public charity. If lodges are going to accept donations, they need to have a separate segregated fund for those charitable donations and they must follow all laws and IRS rules for handling those donations and giving
receipts. Because the donation is to the 501(c)(8) organization, the donor may deduct contributions representing up to 30% of the donor's adjusted gross income if the individual itemizes on his/her tax returns.
     Mooseheart Child City and School, Inc., Moosehaven, Inc. and Moose Charities, Inc. are classified as 501(c)(3) public charities. They are all considered public benefit organizations and their purpose is charitable, not fraternal.
Under IRS's Internal Revenue Code Section 170, individuals giving to 501(c)(3) organizations that are either public charities, private operating foundations, and certain private foundations may deduct contributions representing up to 50% of the donor's adjusted gross income if the individual itemizes on his/her tax returns.
     Why can’t the lodges be designated as 501(c)(3) organizations? The main reason is that they are private membership organizations. Also, charitable projects are not their main function, they operate for the benefit of our membership which would serve to defeat the qualification as 501(c)(3) organizations.

     If you have any questions regarding your tax-exempt status, please contact Stacy Herrmann at 630-859-2000 x 6517 or at sherrmann@mooseintl.org.
