Centreville Fire Department and
Tommy Moose |
|
| The Centreville Moose lodge is committed to
trying to help our area’s youth who are having issues with every day
life. The Moose fraternity has a long history with trying to help
kids in trouble. One of the ways we help is to provide our first
responders in the field our Tommy Moose. Tommy Moose is a 12 inch
plush stuffed animal that is given to first responders in the field
to help them comfort children in traumatic situations. When
a child experiences a traumatic event like domestic violence,
natural disaster, accident or otherwise Tommy Moose is there to
comfort them. Our Tommy Moose program gets these comforting stuffed
animals into the hands of first responders to give to children in
distress.
Tommy Moose is making a difference. First responders from
around the country are praising the program as successful and
helpful. Our fraternity has given more than 100,000 of these
friendly and comforting stuffed animals to departments around the
nation.
The Centreville Moose continues this tradition of helping kids
in trouble. On Thursday June 17, 2010, the Men and
Women of our lodge donated Tommy Moose to the
Centreville Fire Department. This is the first time
we have donated our Tommy Moose to their fire department. We are
looking forward to a long relationship and will be replenishing the
department with more Tommy Moose’s as they run out! |

In years past, the Wythe Arts Council has honored a person or persons
for their contribution to the Chautauqua Festival by naming them the
parade grand marshal. This twenty-sixth year of the festival will be no
exception. However, instead of the honor going to an individual, an
organization is being recognized for their contributions. The Wytheville
Moose Lodge #394 has generously given their support to the festival for
many years. In one way or another, this group has touched the lives of
most of the citizens in Wytheville and Wythe County. Most people in our
area are not aware of the organization’s generous use of their time and
funds.
For the Wythe Arts Council, the Wytheville Moose Lodge has been a
faithful Oscar sponsor. They have organized and conducted several bingo
games as fundraisers and volunteered the use of their facilities for
various other festival fundraisers. Indeed, they have been influential
in the success of the festival.
At the same time, their generosity has been felt in
both the national and local levels. The members of the Moose help to
support a retirement facility for their members as well as a home for
children of Moose members that have lost their parents. These children
are cared for and educated by donations from the various Moose
organizations. Not only do the Moose care for the children affiliated
with their organization but substantial donations are made each year to
the Shriner’s Childrens Hospital.
On the local level, each year a sizable monetary
donation is given to each rescue squad in Wythe County and to all the
fire departments in both Wytheville and Wythe County. The group has
provided funds to help build playgrounds for our youth, sponsored
coloring contests in the elementary schools, helped in supporting after
prom parties for area high schools, and offered the use of their
building to schools, churches, and Relay for Life fundraising
activities. The Wytheville Moose Lodge is also a major donator to United
Way and Mount Rogers camps and activities. Each Christmas the Moose help
the Department of Social Services with the Santa Workshop program.
Heavenly Angels, one of our newest organizations, has also received help
from the local Moose. The most recent activity for the Wytheville Moose
Lodge was purchasing and preparing a steak dinner for the 450 plus
riders in Run for the Wall.

Run For The Wall & Wytheville Lodge #394
Celebrate their 10th Anniversary
Originally hosting 75 Bikers,
this year the Wytheville Lodge Welcomed and Fed 472
May 26th - 27th, 2010
posted 06/08/2010
|
|
|
May is an exciting time for the Wytheville Moose Lodge as the Run for
the Wall caravan rolls into town. For 10 years now the Lodge has been
one of the privileged stops on their journey from California to the
Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC in which they have had an organized
ride for the last 22 years. The Southern Route continues to grow in
number as they ride across the country for an accounting of all
Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action (POW/MIA), to honor the
memory of those Killed in Action (KIA) from all wars, and to support our
military personnel all over the world.
The Moose Lodge was approached by the Run for the Wall
organization in 2001 and asked to provide a meal for the bikers that
year on their Southern Route. Somewhat apprehensive to the new event,
the Lodge managed to feed the 75 bikers a nice spaghetti dinner as they
made their way quickly through Wythe County. The number of riders has
grown to over 400 bikers participating in this event. Regardless of the
number, the Moose Lodge is now more than ready for the challenge of
feeding and honoring the riders. It is now tradition for the Run for the
Wall participants to take part in the festivities and meal that the
Moose Lodge continues to offer annually. The event takes 50 plus
volunteers of both the Men and Women of the Moose to work for two days
preparing and serving a full rib eye steak & chicken meal with a baked
potato and salad to all the riders. After the presentations and food
have been served, many of the bikers linger and visit with the familiar
faces they see at the Lodge from year to year. One of our favorite
comments is to hear the riders say “The Moose steak dinner is the best
meal on the Route” and they can’t wait to arrive in Wytheville and eat
at the Moose.
This year the Lodge fed 472 bikers and as a special
celebration to commemorate the 10th Anniversary, the Moose Lodge had a
great looking Run for the Wall shirt made with Wytheville, A & 10th
Anniversary down the sleeves & a POW/MIA design on the back.
The next morning they all gather at the park in
Wytheville and meet and greet with the Spiller Elementary kids. They
also make a monetary donation to the school.
They then head out of town to Montvale School were they meet with those
kids and also make a monetary donation.
The day is not done until they ride to the D-Day
Memorial and then to the VA Hospital in Salem. The then get a good
nights rest and head up to DC for the annual Rolling Thunder Parade.
Rolling Thunder is an annual motorcycle rally that is
held in Washington, DC during the Memorial Day weekend to call for the
government's recognition and protection of Prisoners of War (POWs) and
those Missing in Action (MIAs). About 400,000 veterans will roar across
Washington, DC on their motorcycles as a tribute to American war heroes.
Discussions and planning for next year’s Run for the
Wall event will begin immediately. It is an honor for the Women & Men of
the Wytheville Moose Lodge to be able to contribute in some capacity to
all those who are keeping the memory of our military personnel alive.

Several people had a special impact on Run for the Wall this year.
Of the many FNG's that participated, you are now veterans of Run for the
Wall and you are part of a new and extended family. We would like
to recognize one of our FNG's who hales from Rancho Cucamonga, CA; Mike
Donahue, a seven year veteran of the U.S. Army, who was an 11B, Grunt, a
2P Airborne, and 95B, Military Police (M.P.). Mike served from 1973 to
1981 and his life was forever changed at 10:01 September 28th, 1980 when
he was a victim of an accidental discharge by a fellow M.P. Mike
took a hit from a 45 semi-automatic that tore through his midsection to
include a severe spinal injury. Confined to a wheelchair, Mike
said he brooded over his injury for about 30 days until he decided that
he had to move on and live his life regardless. He had a van
converted to accommodate his wheelchair, which was his main means of
transportation until he found a BMW R1200 conversion called Martin
Conquest. This spectacular 3-wheeled motorcycle complete with
drop-down ramp allowed Mike to roll his wheelchair in and out and
securely lock it into place.

Paving Fund. Don Doss, Bobby Glass, and Jack Brooks, they are
("The

to raise
money with and they held 2 Karaoke shows here at the Lodge.
During the
shows we had 50/50's that the winners donated the money
back to
Mooseheart, raffled off several gift cards, and much more.
The Amigo's
and the members at 715 Moose Lodge were very dedicated to this
fundraiser

On Friday, September 24, 2010 we will have
a Special Olympics Luck of the Draw Benefit Golf Tournament at Ivy
Hill Golf Club starting at 12:30pm. This will be a Captain's
Choice Tournament in a little different format. We will take all
the entries and divide by 4, then you will draw your partners.
i.e.: the 4 - 1's will play together, the 4 - 2's,
the 4 - 3's and so on until all are chosen. You will not
know who may be in your foursome until you draw. The drawing will
take place at high-noon. This will give you time enough to
have your cart loaded and ready to go @ 12:30. This will be a
great way to meet new friends and be a fun day of fellowship.
As many of you know Bedford Lodge has hosted the Special Olympics
Softball Games now 17 years. This is a very special event for us
and if you want to see what life is all about, then I invite you
to come and watch.
Their faces are just glowing in appreciation for all that is done
for them.
Help us continue to provide this hope in their lives.
