NEW SMYRNA BEACH MOOSE FAMILY CENTER 1835/1515

         YES WE CAN        

If  you know of member  who has let his or her membership lapse, extend your hand to that brother or sister.  Many times all they need is a little encouragement to become an active member once again. It's up to all of us to retain our members. All to often we dont give our brothers or sisters the chance to talk about themselves and what they want. It is just as easy to listen as it is to speak. Remember, it isnt always about us, but it is about "ALL" of us.

DON'T LET MEMBERS THROW AWAY THE BENEFITS THEY RECEIVED WHEN THEY BECAME  MEMBER OF THE LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE OR  THE WOMEN OF THE MOOSE. IT IS UP TO ALL OF US TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO RETAIN ALL MEMBERS ALONG WITH SPONSORING NEW ONES.

To our members, when your dues is about to be renewed you will receive an invoice from Moose Int'l Membership. As soon as you receive that renewal notice, send it in. At the Chicago National Convention it was announced that only the initial invoice will be sent to members concerning renewal. In the past members have been receiving a second notice, this practice will be discontinued. Also, your membership card will  have a new look. 

There are several ways you can submit your yearly dues. You can pay via the invoice with a check or credit card  or you can go online and pay your dues through the Dues Payment link.  We have found that the turn around for receiving your new card is much faster this way by paying online. Normally you will receive this notice about 2 months before your dues expires.

Many times members do not receive their notices of renewal because their contact information has changed and did not contact the Lodge or Chapter with those changes. In some cases members have paid their dues but because their contact information was wrong, they do not receive their new membership card.  It was returned to Moose Int'l.

If the above has happened to you, not receiving your dues notice or your new card,contact the Lodge Administrator or the Chapter Recorder. They are there to assist you.  Just dont let it go. If there is any doubt when your membership expires, look at your card, it willl tell you.

Remember, once you become an inactive member, you forfeit all your rights and privileges that were afforded to you as a member of the Royal Order of Moose.

SO....maintain your good standing in the Loyal Order of Moose or the Women of the Moose by keeping your dues current.

Remember, listening is a quality that we sometime take for granted and by not listening to others, we could be driving them away. What members are saying may not seem important to you, but it is to them. Their voice is just as important as any other's.

It is up to all of us to keep our fraternity strong and retaining members is the best way to accomplish that.
