It's a new year!!! Where did 2018 go?!?!?This year starts out slow, we will be closed on the 1st so everyone can get back on their feet so to speak. Enjoy the day.January 11 is kid's movie night with the movie "The Incredibles 2" showing. January 12 is Rockin Russ Trivia night. This is always a great fun night.January 19 is the second karaoke night. Here's your chance to show off you stuff and quite possible get to go to the International event this summer. Get your singing shoes on and have some fun.January 26 is our first Euchre Tournament. All are invited to play. We will teach anyone who wants to learn and have fun playing cards. We will be having food for the event, Brian Vergenz will be firing up the grille for some great eats. Plus we will be having raffles and a very special something as well. See you there.February will be a huge month. Super Bowl party on the 3rd. It's the last game of the year and Joe has the usual raffles, food and crazy stuff for us to enjoy.February 9th is the Sweethearts dinner dance. Tickets are on sale now. Get your sweetheart and come down and have fun.It's back!!! The Moose Zoo Review!! February 16 will be the date for fun and laughter. This is always a big hit. Don't forget this is a adult entertainment show. Don't bring the kid's.Last month I had the privilege to go to Mooseheart for the tree lighting and our visit to our kid's at Wisconsin house. It was a great to visit with all of them. They are fantastic kid's. When we went to the House of God that evening for the tree lighting, Scott Hart gave one of the best speeches I've hear in a long time. He pointed out that we are the only fraternal organization that takes care of our members and people in need from birth to our final reward. Think about that, the only one.You should all be proud to be a Moose for all the good your dues and donations to Moose International does for our kids and seniors. Plus all the good we do in our communities as well. That visit was very eye opening for me and has given me a better out look about the Moose and our members.Please remember that we are all in this together and we have one common goal. The kid's and seniors at Mooseheart and Moosehaven.Bless you all and Thanks for being a Moose.

KENOSHA MOOSE RIDERSWe have had people ask: Who/What are the Kenosha Moose Riders?

We are an activity club that gets together to have fun, build friendships,go on some rides (although a bike is not required),while doing thatwe also give back to our community, our lodge and Moose charities.

Moose Legion Shirts and Vestsare now on sale at the lodge see Rich Smart

Paul Baumeister Legion Committee

Chairman

Happy New Year Everybody. Another year has ended, another year of fond memories of Mooseriders events along with Moose events. You have to be so proud to belong to such a caring, fun and wonderful organization. How can you ever be bored when there is always something going on, whether it be with us Mooseriders, or the Men and Women of the Moose creating events. To be able to walk into the Moose's social quarters and see friendly faces and smiles makes one's heart fill with love and admiration that we belong to something bigger than ourselves.

On that note we would like to thank everyone at the Moose who helped us throughout the year, whether it was advice, information, chiming in and enjoying our events or just cheering us on. You all are so wonderful. Thank you Joe Matteucci for all your help, you have been absolutely perfect in your leadership role, we could not ask for better.

A big Thanks goes out to Marty for doing such spectacular work on these newsletters and for making sure that our Grammar and punctuation don't look like what we email him sometimes, lol

Lastly; thank you to our wonderful Mooserider members. Every one of you are important in making Mooseriders a success from paying your dues or coming to meetings to give ideas and opinions, to donating your time, to joining us in the fun and making every event a great time and bringing closeness to our group.

In writing this, I am unsure about our Jan meeting. We normally have an event in January where we go out to eat, have a short meeting then and pay our yearly dues. Therefore you can be kept up to date on our Facebook Kenosha Mooseriders page and for members I will send out an email to each of you.

Again thank you everyone!!

The Green Bay Packers did not live up to expectations in 2018. The 2019 season is just 8 months away. Plenty of time to right the ship. The Chicago Bears on the other hand are doing very well. Maybe this is their big year. Time will tell.There will be a Super Bowl party here at the lodge on February 3rd, kick off is at 5:25 pm in Atlanta. We will be having a chili cook off hosted by the Velodrome bike racing teams. More details to follow.Baseball spring training starts 2 weeks later. Joe Matteucci and friends hosted the game day parties.The Monday night pool season is finishing up the current session. Ron and Darla Kramer chair the league and will report the results next month.Josh Bower scored a break and run on December 17 in the Monday / Wednesday AM pool league. Andy Burger is the chairman.State pool this year is in Racine on January 12, 2019. Our club will have several teams entered and always room for more. Enter on-line or get an entry blank on our bulletin board in the front lobby.State bowling rolls in March. Get information on line or see next newsletter for the shinny on the bowling. Entry blanks in front lobby.After the holidays is a good time to give a little thought to Spring and Summer. Our lodge has lots of room for more horseshoes, BAGGO and golf. See AD Rich Smart or any board member or myself with your ideas. One thing we do not have is a evening golf league. If anyone is interested in being a chairperson let me know.Notes: I'm honored that I was chosen to be the Moose of the Year for Kenosha, thanks to you all.
