When 6-year-old Scroggin saw a picture in a magazine of a child at the Mooseheart facility, she told her parents she wanted to help that girl and others like her. Wanting other children to feel the joy of opening gifts at Christmas, the Hillcrest Elementary School student raise $340 through a lemonade stand to be used toward buying presents for those children. "We were so surprised when she came to us. We were shocked. But we weren't going to say no," said Jessica Scroggin, Sammie's mother. "You couldn't say no to her. She's 6." Mooseheart, operated by the Moose organization, provides housing for children up to age 17 whose parents have died or are unable to care for them. Scroggin's goal is to buy gifts for the 50 to 60 parentless children at the orphanage. Scroggin and her parents organized the "Sammie's Moose Juice" lemonade stand, receiving supply donations from the Antioch Piggly Wiggly store and a couple of its employees. Friends and family loaned Scroggin water jugs, and her parents, Jessica and John, provided cups and utensils.

Moose officers will return assets to lodge By Beth Velliquette : The Herald-Sun bvelliquette@heraldsun.com Sep 8, 2004 : 5:49 pm ET HILLSBOROUGH -- The officers of the Hillsborough Moose Lodge who transferred the group's building and property to another organization have agreed to return the assets to the lodge. On Tuesday, attorneys told Orange County Superior Court officials that they were working out the details of an agreement that would put things back the way they were before the officers transferred the lodge's assets to a new organization they formed called Hillsborough Shining Stars. "We're fairly close to getting things resolved," said attorney Charles George, who represents the Hillsborough Moose Lodge and Moose International. "Basically, they are going to return all the assets to the name of the Hillsborough Moose Lodge and away from the Hillsborough Shining Stars." Moose International, the parent organization of all Moose lodges, and the Hillsborough Moose Lodge sued the officers and administrators of the lodge last week, claiming that they illegally signed over the assets of the lodge to the Hillsborough Shining Stars for $1. William M. Knight, the administrator of the lodge, claims he and the officers signed over the property to the Shining Stars because they wanted the property to remain at work for the people of Orange County if and when the Hillsborough Moose Lodge dissolves for lack of participation.

Police cite Moose lodge Alleged offenses were gambling, alcohol sales to nonmembers. By JEFF PARROTT Tribune Staff Writer Indiana State Excise Police have substantiated a complaint that a South Bend fraternal organization has promoted illegal gambling and sold alcohol to nonmembers. Police received a complaint that the Loyal Order of Moose Lodge 58, 4025 Lincoln Way W., was hosting Texas Hold 'Em poker tournaments on the fourth Tuesday and Thursday of each month and awarding cash prizes to top finishers. Two undercover excise officers Wednesday entered the lodge bar and were served drinks without being asked for membership identification, said excise officer Sara Bewley. Bewley said lodge administrator Jon Baker, who happened to be at the bar, told the officers that players pay a $25 entry fee and receive $1,000 worth of chips. The top six finishers win cash, with first place paying $300 to $400, Bewley said the undercover officers were told. Excise police have forwarded the case to Fred Bauer, prosecutor at the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission in Indianapolis. Bauer will determine whether to sanction the club. Indiana alcoholic sales laws prohibit fraternal clubs from selling alcohol to nonmembers. It also is illegal for an alcohol sales permit holder to promote gambling for cash prizes.

Future of Marco Moose lodge threatened By ROGER LALONDE, Staff Writer November 17, 2004 Is Marco Island Moose Lodge 1990 about to be homeless? The lodge once had a dream of moving to a new building 014 part of a condominium complex to be constructed on its current site and an adjacent lot on South Collier Boulevard. Today that plan is in limbo, and the lodge no longer owns its building or its property. "We don't even know if we own the glasses we are drinking out of these days," said local Moose member Tom Draper. The predicament began nearly three years ago, in January 2002, when the lodge entered into an agreement with Price Court LLC to construct a mixed-use building that was to house the Moose Lodge on the bottom level and six residential condominium units on the top level. That didn't happen. Instead, the Moose Lodge is mired in a lawsuit and has been paying rent on the building it previously owned 014 and the organization's leaders are not sure when or if they will get another building, or their own building back. Price Court is suing the Marco Moose Lodge and the Inn at Marco Island, a company the lodge hired to take over the project when members believed Price Court would not be able to complete the work. Current Moose Lodge Gov. Richard Heavner said former lodge administrator Robert Kay told the Moose board shortly after the initial contract was made that Price Court wasn't going to be able to do it. Heavner, who was not a board member at the time, said that Kay — representing the Moose Lodge — then entered into a second agreement, in which the Moose building and property were sold to Brian Glynn and Inn at Marco Island, on March 28, 2002. When Heavner took office as governor in April 2004, he started looking through documents to see why construction hadn't progressed and why the club didn't seem to be operating with a positive bottom line. Heavner said his research shows that the board only authorized Kay to act on

Moose Lodge Suit Over DUI Death Settled Moran Serving 10-Year Sentence POSTED: 6:30 am EST November 29, 2004 UPDATED: 12:54 pm EST November 29, 2004 TAVARES, Fla. -- An unusual drunken-driving case in Lake County, Fla., where the mother of a 20-year-old killed claimed a local Moose Lodge was to blame for her death was settled Monday for an undisclosed amount of money, according to Local 6 News. Barbara Moran, 57, had reportedly been drinking heavily at the Eustis, Fla., Moose Lodge before a crash that killed 20-year-old Vicki Odor six years ago(pictured, left). Howard and Brenda Odor were suing the owners, managers and employees of the lodge for $15,000. The suit was settled for an undisclosed amount. It said the owners, managers and employees at the lodge served Moran numerous drinks "to the point of obvious intoxication" and they should have known that would make Moran a danger to others. The Lodge's lawyer said Moran was responsible for the accident. They also said the workers deny serving her drinks to the point of intoxication. Moran was convicted of DUI and is serving ten years in prison. Vickie Odor was a former president of Students Against Driving Drunk at Tavares High School. In a previous Lake County civil case, a jury awarded 9

Down the street at the Loyal Order of Moose Lodge 1096, the party was beginning as the children waited for their parents to return with presents. The children sang songs, toured police cars presented by Iowa City and Coralville police officers, and met with senior Iowa Hawkeye football players, who autographed posters. Volunteers -- 125 of whom came from area high schools and other community groups -- also told stories and made balloon animals for the children. "We have people from all walks of life come in and help out," Larew said. Johnson County Sheriff-elect Lonny Pulkrabek made balloon animals, a trick he said he helped pass on to other volunteers. "It's just something I got started on a few years ago," he said.

Foster kids can now hug a moose Mesa fraternal lodge reaches out to youths in crisis situations Kristin Park Special for The Republic Dec. 13, 2004 12:00 AM Many of Mesa's kids now have a soft, fluffy moose to hug, thanks to the East Mesa Moose Lodge. "I really like them. They're soft," said 9-year-old Nathaniel Vicente of Mesa as he held his stuffed moose. The family fraternity is reaching out to foster children this holiday season through its moose program, created two years ago for kids experiencing duress during crisis situations that involved the police. advertisement Last year, more than 80,000 stuffed moose were given to children by Moose lodges throughout the country, according to the organization. In addition to the Mesa police and fire departments, the Mesa lodge is working with Mesa United Way. The stuffed moose go to children entering foster care as well as kids in United Way's Ready to Learn program. "I thought it would be a nice match to give the moose to the kids with United Way," said Moose Lodge Gov. Richard Flamini, 69, of Mesa. "This is another avenue for us to reach more kids."

Moose lodge looks to rebuild Members use tent, VFW while waiting on permit process By ANGELA HILL ahill@news-press.com Published by news-press.com on December 21, 2004 022 Pine Island Moose Lodge was destroyed in Hurricane Charley. Special to the news-press.com WHAT ARE THE MOOSE? 022 A Moose member is a man belonging to the Loyal Order of Moose, or a woman belonging to the Women of the Moose. These members make up the major parts of the fraternal organization known as Moose International that is involved in civic causes. The club chose the name Moose because it is a large, powerful animal but one which is a protector, not a predator, according the group019s Web site. The group also says the Moose takes only what is needed and lives in peace with other animals. The Moose also have a home and school covering 1,000 acres for children in need called Mooseheart, and Moosehaven, the 65-acre Florida retirement community for senior members in need. DELIVERING YOUR WORLD The News-Press 013 Subscribe Daily email newsletter 013 Signup Printer friendly version Email this article The members of the Pine Island Moose gather under a tent beside a wall for a barbecue. It's an unusual sight considering there used to be a two-story building there. The group's lodge on Stringfellow Road was destroyed by Hurricane Charley on Aug. 13, leaving members without a headquarters and a sense of loss. "It's not like losing your home, but it is hard just the same," said Moose member Ed Mitchell. "The camaraderie is here, but without the lodge something is missing. When you are coming home from work you stop by to visit with friends, play a game of darts or horseshoes and without the lodge you are at a loss of what to do because it played such a big part of your daily routine."
