POSITIVELY IMPACTING COMMUNITY...
2019 was a Good year for us at Moose #1325 Oceanside. Just a few highlights of 2019...We awarded $3000 in college scholarships, raised nearly $5000 for our local Special Olympics athletes. With a great team effort including our friends from the Oceanside Longboarders Surf Club we had a record setting toy donation for our local Toys for Tots. Teaming with “Kids Deserve to Play” we were able to raise money that will allow kids to play organized sports that normally wouldn’t have the chance. And through our individual efforts as well as part of a combined event with Feeding the Soul Foundation we were able to provide money and much needed goods for the Women’s Resource Center. These were just a few of our fundraising efforts and we are planning on building up one these for next year.
In 2019 we were also able to have the much needed Heating & AC units installed. This couldn’t have been accomplished without the help from our friends at Major League Heating and Air-conditioning (Locally owned & operated). If you’re in need give them a call, they are the best!
Music wise we were privileged to have some amazing musicians play live on our stage and 2020 is already shaping up to be even better. That’s because Cheyne Dolly who not only is a member but an an amazing musician has agreed to come on board as our entertainment coordinator. He already has the very first Friday of the new year locked and loaded. Y’all are going to want to be there.
So as we close the books on 2019, may we reflect with an open mind and heart. Let us celebrate our victories, learn from our failures, appreciate what we have, don’t stress on what we don’t have and above all else don’t be too busy to share quality time with family, friends and loved ones!
From all of us in the board of directors may you all have a safe and joyous New Year!!!
