VMA State Membership Chairman Ron Downey
is showing off is new membership card. It is a gift from Moose
International for signing JUST TWO MEMBERS
during the 2010-2011 International campaign.
Brothers and Co-Workers take a minute and
think about this, you sign 2 members and you get a 1 year dues paid
for you. My dues are already paid up till 6-30-2011 and now my
dues are paid up to 6-30-2012.

"The Time is Now" for all
of us to take advantage of this great opportunity. Remember we
are members of the greatest fraternity which does so much for people
in need. Especially our youth at Mooseheart and our seniors and
Moosehaven.
"THE TIME IS NOW"

Proactive Approach To Membership Retention

Let?s try
the PROACTIVE approach to membership retention. What I
mean is to identify those members who have already received a dues
notice from Moose Int. (they only get One) and have not yet paid
their dues. These members will EXPIRE at the end of the
current month.
FIND EM?
Get your
membership screen up
Click on ?GO
TO?
Scroll to
?REPORTS AND LABELS?
Choose
?ARREARS? and click (new screen will appear)
Click on
?MONTH?
Choose
current month i.e. February (note, future months will not be
available for this list, only the current month)
Under
STATUS, Click on ?EXPIRING ONLY?
Under SORT,
choose ?NAME?
Click on
?CREATE REPORT?
ASK EM?
The report
generated will contain the names of those who will EXPIRE this
month. NOW is the time to contact theses members and remind them as
a ?SECOND NOTICE?
Your
PROACTIVE approach to this might and will save a lot of members.
It?s better than calling your whole Arrears list. You might also do
a mailing to them. Labels instead of a report can also be generated.
Get the committee together, cell phones work great, stay ahead of
membership!!!
Fraternally
Yours,
Bob Guest, Retention

AREA MEMBERSHIP AND RETENTION COORDINATORS
Brother Governor,
Here is the list of the new area Membership and
Retention coordinators. Please give this information to the lodge
membership chairman and have him contact the coordinator in your area if
he has any questions concerning membership or retention. Your area
coordinator can provide your chairman with the contact person name in

for membership question as well.
Please go to the VMA web site and click on membership
and scroll down to the current updated membership and quota ranking.

e:Mail
sent to New Members from Moose International
posted 01/19/2009
|
Below are copies of the emails that will be sent to new members of the
Loyal Order of Moose, Women of the Moose and Moose Legion as soon as the
enrolled dated has been entered into the system - PROVIDING THE LODGE,
CHAPTER OR MOOSE LEGION has entered the email information provided by
the applicant. We are hoping that this immediate notice will alert
the member that his card is on the way, or his new card - in the case of
a Moose Legionnaire, and that a Moose Welcome Package is also on the
way. We have also encouraged, in all three emails, for the member
to become a sponsor of a new member, co-worker or Moose Legionnaire.
As we build the data base of email addresses, we will
have the opportunity to recognize birthdays, moose anniversaries, etc.
and to notify a member that a renewal notice has been sent and not to
toss it thinking it is 'junk mail', in addition to numerous other
applications.
Thought you would be interested.

Ordinary people can make an extraordinary
difference!
You and I can start a chain reaction
that will deliver the results we are looking for quickly --
results that will ensure that this Fraternal Order will remain
strong and productive for eternity, but we have to stop looking
for the right time to begin.
The right time to start is not next year, or next month.
It?s not next week or even tomorrow. You know as well as I
do when we need to begin. The time is now!
Bill Airey
Director General

Sponsors of One Member
As in previous
years, a sponsor will receive a campaign lapel pin once his first
application has been reported and accepted. We believe the pins that
have been designed for ?The Time is Now? campaign are among the most
attractive ever presented. The pin for the men will also hold
special meaning, as the clock tower atop the Campanile at Mooseheart
has been worked into the design. The hands of the clock are set to 9
O?clock as constant reminder of our 9 O?Clock Ceremony and our
obligation to provide for those entrusted to our care. A supply of
these bright silver finish lapel pins is being shipped to each Lodge
and should be appropriately presented to each sponsor.
Sponsors of Two Members
When a member
sponsors his first two applications during ?The Time is Now?
campaign, he will receive a free year?s dues once those applicants
have been added to the membership rolls. The applicants must be
reported as enrolled by April 30, 2011.
This will generate the same question as was asked
during the short term campaign that ended in May ? ?What about the
life members?? For ?The Time is Now? campaign, we have selected a
handsome simulated leather picture frame that will contain a very
special photo when it arrives in our qualifying life members?
mailboxes. The picture frame also features a functioning alarm
clock, calendar, temperature display, countdown timer and birthday
reminder.
Sponsors of Five Members
When members
qualify for this year?s Moose International ?5 Club? by sponsoring
five applications between May 1, 2010 and April 30,2011, they will
receive their personalized ?5 Club? wallet card as before. In
addition, qualifying sponsors will receive a 2010‐2011 ?5 Club?
window decal to proudly display.
As was begun last year, funds that had been spent on ?5
Club? sponsor recognition awards will once again be used to address
capital needs at Mooseheart. The members of the 2010-2011 ?5 Club?
will provide for the purchase of two 14 -passenger vans for the
Mooseheart campus. The vans will be decaled with the same ?5 Club?
logo as the window decals. We extend our sincerest appreciation to
our State and Provincial Moose Associations, who will provide the
funding to complete this project in honor of their ?5 Club?
qualifiers.
"25 Club"
There are no
changes to report regarding the Moose ?25 Club? for the coming year,
but there is one change to the Director General?s Circle of
Distinction recognition program. As of May 1, 2010, first time
qualifiers will receive the newly designed Circle of Distinction
necktie. The awards for the 50 level, 75 level and 100 level will
remain the same. Members who previously
qualified for the Circle of Distinction necktie will receive one of
the new ties in addition to the award normally presented for the
level they attain.
Mooseheart Centenial Award
In conjunction with the introduction of ?The Time is
Now? campaign, we are unveiling the first item available to members
of this fraternity that features the official Mooseheart Centennial
logo. Members who sponsor 25 applications between June 1, 2010
and July 31, 2013 will be presented with a custom made Skagen
wristwatch for their outstanding effort. The men?s and ladies?
watches have different band styles, but both feature a black face
with the Mooseheart Centennial logo emblazoned in bright silver.
These beautiful commemorative items will only be available to
sponsors who qualify during the three year period. The watch
incentive will conclude during the actual week of the Mooseheart
Centennial celebration. |

Home the Bacon" educational seminar and the overlapping fall meeting of
Moose International's Supreme Council.
This package -- being automatically mailed to every
new member of the Loyal Order of Moose and Women of the Moose whose
accepted application is reported to Moose International as of Dec. 1 --
comprises the following: |
-- an
explanatory eight-page color brochure;
-- an
eight-minute DVD outlining Mooseheart, Moosehaven, Community
Service; what a member gets out of being a Moose; and what's
expected of a member;
-- a
flier outlining the fraternity's Member Benefits program;
-- one
Official Membership Application, good for candidates for either
the Loyal Order of Moose or the Women of the Moose; and, of
course,
-- the
new member's Membership Card.

|
| Both from the very positive
reaction of the nearly 600 Lodge/Chapter leaders who viewed the new
video, and in the knowledge that it could be helpful to Lodge/Chapter
leaders for a variety of functions, we are here making the video
available for both viewing and downloading onto DVD. |
