This is a lengthy but very important message that we please ask you to read.

OUR LODGE NEEDS YOU

This isn't just another communication, it's a heartfelt plea from those who work hard every day to keep our Lodge alive.

We understand that life gets busy. Between work, family, and everything else, it's not always easy to get out. But, if you enjoy having a place to gather with friends, listen to music, enjoy a good meal, shoot pool or simply feel a sense of community, we need you to show up.

Here's the reality. Your membership dues do not keep the lights on. The Lodge receives only a small portion of those dues, alone they are not enough to cover the cost of operating our building. The Gaming income that we receive is not enough to pay for keeping the Lodge open. The only way we continue to thrive is when members come through the doors and support the Lodge by attending events, purchasing food and drinks, and participating in what we have to offer.

Every meal we serve, every event we host, and every improvement we make are only possible because members choose to support our Lodge. If attendance continues to decline, so will the things we all enjoy. We don't want that to happen and we're sure you don't either.

The Moose Lodge isn't just a building. It's YOUR Lodge. It's a place built on friendship, community, and members supporting one another. But a Lodge without participating members simply cannot survive. So, if you want a place to gather tomorrow, please help support it today.

Come out. Bring a friend. Order dinner. Stay for the music. Have a drink. Laugh with old friends and make new friends. Together we can keep our Lodge strong. But it takes all of us. Support your Lodge...because if we don't, no one else will.

We thank those who have supported us through everything. We ask those who haven't to please consider showing support to the place you call home. Your support and participation are what's going to keep us going strong as well as giving you the meals and entertainment you desire.

Thank you for taking time to read this important message.

Mark Penzkover chair of the board from Moose International came to visit Claymont 847 on Friday the 21st. Claymont gave a great welcome of about 25 people including Brandywine hundred fire company and a representative from Delaware state police. Thank you all for the great support. The fire company was given a case of Tommy Mooses for them to hand out to during emergency calls. Involving children. Mark also received a check for endowment and a check for DSP to present. He was quite excited to see his home lodge on our license plate wall and sign a wooden moose to add to our collection of dignitary visits to Claymont. Thank you to the WOTM for a great meal.
