There's so much to do in lodges, both for families and individuals. Moose has it all -- holiday parties, dances, sports, themed dinners, live entertainment. Being a member means something different to everyone. You decide what you want to get out of the organization and what you want to give back.
It's 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.
Why Moose?
Community is center: serving our local community and also the greater community.
Serving young and old. The Moose Lodge is dedicated to Mooseheart for children and Moosehaven for retired adults.
An opportunity to develop leadership skills, give back to your community.
