We the Pennsylvania Moose membership approved the donation of $25,000.00 to the Gettysburg Foundation for the restoration of the Pennsylvania Memorial at the Gettysburg Battle Field in preparation of the 150 year celebration in 2013. The Gettysburg Foundation has already completed the restoration and now we need to keep our promise and donate the funds we promised to keep our Pennsylvania history alive and available for our children and grand children for years to come!
This is a large Community service by us the members of the Pennsylvania Moose in our own state and now we need your help with your donations to the PMA marked in the memo of your check Gettysburg Foundation. Any amount will be appreciated by the PMA and the Gettysburg Foundation no matter the amount. We figure for the lodges a rule of thumb would be 40 cents a member but if you feel this isn’t sufficient then by all means send more! We will be excepting donations from all of the Pennsylvania Moose Membership, men, women and Moose Legions.
If your Lodge, District, Chapter, Moose Legion, or an individual member, has already donated we thank you. We have received donations of $1500.00 as of my last report, 6 lodges Lewistown F.C. 143, Jersey Shore F.C.214, Houtzdale 327, Elkland 746, Pittston 1207 and New Bethlehem 366, one District.#11 and one chapter Williamsport 384. To these lodges, chapter and District we say thank you!
Brothers and Co-Workers this Community Service to preserve your history of the Civil War at the Gettysburg Battlefield is not mandatory but we are asking your help to preserve your history and do some good in your own state of Pennsylvania!
If you have an activity in your lodge, chapter or Moose legion and ear mark the profits for the Gettysburg Battlefield Pennsylvania Memorial restoration. We are proud of our Pennsylvania Moose Members and we know you can do anything you set your mind to!
Please send all donations to PMA Secretary, Rick King, 6257 Tuscarora Drive, Huntingdon, Pa 16652 and mark all donations Gettysburg Foundation.
Now is your time to step up and show your Pennsylvania Moose pride!
I will do my best to try and keep everyone updated on how the donations are going. Remember brothers and Co-workers this is your history and your chance to shine!
Thank you,
