To assist you in our efforts to have a gain in membership, we are offering two promotions in addition to the Moose – Back to Basics membership campaigns.
$0 Application Fee beginning March 1. The Supreme Council has authorized the General Governor to issue a blanket dispensation to waive all application fees in March and April. This will likely be the last time the fees will be waived and will provide momentum for the lodges as they look to move into the new year on a positive note. No fees will be collected or billed, meaning MI will be waiving the $10 it has been collecting throughout this year, and the lodges will no longer collect $10 that they have, in theory, been retaining for membership campaign purposes.
We are extending the King of Hearts membership promotion through the end of the fiscal year. All members who sponsor a new or former member by April 30th will receive a credit to play the game for each individual they sponsor. Further, although the sponsorship period ends on April 30th, they will have the ability to go online and play the game through May 10th. To date, nearly 1,000 members have played and over $6,000 in promotional prizes have been distributed.
Materials will be available on-line by the end of the week, plus printed material, including short-term campaign posters, are being sent within the next week or so.
Best of luck to every Lodge, Chapter and Moose Legion in your efforts to end the year with a plus one!
