My Sisters,

WOW - what an incredible year! The accomplishments we celebrate would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our Lodge and Moose Legion. A heartfelt thank you to our Administrator and Lodge Board of Directors for always having our backs, and to our Moose Legionnaires who so generously give their time to support our efforts-and sometimes our crazy ideas! We are truly blessed.

My biggest thanks go to the members of WOTM Chapter 1543 who consistently show up, contribute, and support everything we do. With you, anything is possible!

Thank you to our members for the generous donations in support of our efforts of back-to-school supplies, helping make our National Night Out another event for the record books. The donation box overflowed with candy for our Spooky Town/Trunk or Treat event!

Congratulations to Karen Moore for the best-decorated trunk, and a special shout-out to Nick Castaldo and his family for a job well done.

Mooseheart/Moosehaven Chairman Diane Grosz and her committee have made sure our children and seniors at Mooseheart and Moosehaven will enjoy a wonderful Christmas. The Christmas in October Dance - Mechanicsville Hears a Mooooo - Mooseville Event was a huge success. Special guests, including Santa, our very own Rich-E, Cindy-Lou Who, and the Grinch, made for a truly magical night of fundraising.

For those of you who missed the first Bluegrass & Brunswick Stew event featuring The Slack Family—you missed a great one! Be sure not to miss it next year. Rumor has it there may be another Stew sale in February.

November continued our tradition of Moose Family Giving, with 1,000 pounds of food donated to Pappy's Pantry. This inspired our December coat drive, and once again, working alongside Pappy's Pantry, Richmond East members filled the bins and packed the truck. Your generous donations will help keep those in need warm during the bitter cold months.

As we look ahead, 2026 is on the horizon-and without a doubt, it will be just as exciting and eventful!

Fraternally Yours,

Melissa DeLue, Past Regent
