Wesley I. Crowder, supreme governor of the Loyal Order of Moose, will visit the Malden Moose Lodge 1910, located at 562 Broadway, on Friday, Oct. 7, as part of his travels through New England.
Crowder became the Moose fraternity’s chief presiding officer on July 6, elected by a vote of the Supreme Lodge delegates to a one-year term at the organization’s 123rd International convention in Anaheim, CA.
For more information about Crowder's visit, contact the Moose at 781-324-9443.
Moose International, headquartered in Mooseheart, Ill, consists of some 1 million men and women in approximately 1,800 lodges and 1,650 chapters throughout the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, and Bermuda.
The organization owns and operates Mooseheart, a 1,000 acre community and school for youngsters in need, located 40 miles west of Chicago; and Moosehaven, a 70-acre retirement community near Jacksonville, Fla.
Additionally, Moose lodges and chapters conduct more than $90 million worth of community service annually, counting monetary donations, miles driven, and volunteer hours worked. Such community service can be tailored to local needs, but also takes the form of organization-wide programs – such as Tommy Moose, in which lodges and chapters provide plush moose figures free of charge to emergency workers and hospitals to give to children in stressful situations.
