Moose International Looking to Open Falmouth Lodge

Larry Holmes of Teaticket is working with the Moose International organization in seeking members to open a lodge in Falmouth or Woods Hole. Larry has been a member of the Islamorada Moose Lodge in the Florida Keys since 1987. "I am very involved in giving back to our communities and helping those in need, as a member of the Moose, Elks, Lions and most recently the Falmouth Rotary Clubs, I would like to encourage everyone to help those less fortunate in their times of need.

We need to generate fifty new members to proceed forward with opening a new lodge. If you are interested in joining and or helping with the process please call or email me, my cell number is 305-440-7067, email: larry@bluewatergroup.org. Weekly meeting will be set up as we progress and will be held at the Holiday Inn Cape Cod – Falmouth at 291 Jones Road.

"The Moose International is a wonderful organization that helps the young and old nationwide!

You may have heard the saying, “A burden heavy to one is borne lightly by many.” This is at the core of the Moose organization and what makes us unique in our Lodges, local communities and charitable “cities” that we support.
Since those early years, our fraternal organization rapidly expanded to include valuable service to our communities, care for children and teens in need at Mooseheart Child City & School , a 1,000-acre campus, located 40 miles west of Chicago and care for our senior members at Moosehaven, a 70-acre retirement community near Jacksonville, Florida.

With a combined membership of over 1,000,000 members, our presence is felt in over 1,500 communities across all 50 states and four Canadian provinces, plus Great Britain and Bermuda.
The Moose organization contributes between $75 to $100 million worth of community service (counting monetary donations, volunteer hours worked and miles driven) annually. In addition to Mooseheart and Moosehaven, the Moose fraternity’s Heart of the Community effort is multifaceted with internally developed programs like Tommy Moose. Tommy Moose aids in helping children overcome fears and anxiety during times of stress. Donated to law enforcement, fire fighters and other emergency workers, Tommy Moose plush dolls are presented to children in various traumatic situations.

The external focus of our service is directed towards many worthwhile national charities, a few of which are: Special Olympics North America, Salvation Army, Safe Surfin’USA Foundation, Big Brothers-Big Sisters, and St. Jude.In our local Lodges, you will find a wide array of activities to participate in both as an individual and as a family. From holiday parties, dances, sports, themed dinners and live entertainment, the Moose has much to offer.

Membership can mean different things to different people. You are the one determining what you want to get out of the organization, and what you want to give back.The Moose is about celebrating life together, serving those in need within our local community, supporting our children at Mooseheart and standing by our senior members at Moosehaven.
