ADOPT A STREET
The Jasper Moose
Family Center #1175 has successfully completed the first
year as contributors for the Adopt A Street program. The
implementation of the program by Jasper Moose Lodge #1175
was initiated by Gib Gutrich. The new chairman for this
project is Donnie Spraggins who is in need of volunteers for
this year. The job involves 4 members collecting trash
on 36th Street for only a few blocks and takes less than 1
hour each time. Members who have volunteered were Joe
Fierst, Carol and Scott Vaal, Ardie Colburn, Donnie
Lichlyter, Donnie Spraggins, Dirk Detzer, Pat and Luke
Kluesner, Donnie Steinhart and Louis Schwenk. Since we
are required to schedule four Saturday pick-ups a year
starting in the spring, it is necessary to obtain the names
of those willing to help at least one time. Remember...it
only takes 16 volunteers a year. Please contact chairman,
Donnie Spraggins.

ENDOWMENT FUNDS INSURE FUTURE OF MOOSEHEART &
MOOSEHAVEN
The early leaders of the Loyal
Order of Moose who were instrumental in establishing
Mooseheart, the "Child City," were confident that as long as
there was a Loyal Order of Moose, there would be a
Mooseheart. But even in those early days of the 20th
century, these leaders envisioned the need for a trust fund
to insure the future of Mooseheart against any possible
emergency. Accordingly, it was suggested that an endowment
fund be built to protect Mooseheart should that dismal day
ever occur. At the annual International Convention of
the Order in 1918, Resolution No. 19 was passed authorizing
Director General James J. Davis to create and build such a
fund for the protection of Mooseheart. But the 1918
convention was not a legislative convention, and the
resolution was not fully recognized until it was passed a
second time at the 1919 convention. The first
contribution to the Mooseheart Endowment Fund, of $100, was
received from Past Supreme Governor J. Albert Cassedy of
Baltimore in 1918. The second contribution in the amount of
$200 was from the late J. Willis Pierson of Dallas, also a
Past Supreme Governor. Almost immediately, the donations
began to pour in. Soon after the fund was established, a
$100 bequest in the will of Brother Isadore Klein was
received. This was the first bequest received by the
Mooseheart Endowment Fund, and since then, a large number of
them have been received from individuals of both limited and
ample means. One of the many plans established to help
expand the fund was developed by Director General Davis for
every Lodge and Chapter to take up a "penny collection" at
its regularly called meetings. The first such collection
was received from Martins Ferry, Ohio Lodge 1532 in the
amount of $1.31 on Jan. 5, 1920. The term "penny
collection" has since been changed to "Endowment Fund
Offering," and Lodges and Chapters now take up such
collections, not only at regular meetings, but at other
Lodge functions and social activities. All Endowment
Fund contributions from Lodges, Legions and Chapters are
placed in the Mooseheart-Moosehaven Endowment Fund. In
addition, many individuals make contributions to the fund by
direct mail. A Moosehaven Endowment Fund was established in
1935 after the receipt of two bequests to Moosehaven
totaling $3,481. Contributions to "Legion offerings"
received at Moose Legion meetings, special gifts and
bequests to Moosehaven are placed in this fund. Total
contributions to the Mooseheart/Moosehaven Endowment average
more than a million dollars per year. These funds are
administered by a board of trustees consisting of eight
distinguished members of the fraternity. Each time a
contribution is made to the Mooseheart/Moosehaven Endowment
Fund, the future of these two philanthropic projects,
sponsored by the Moose.
