| 'I have a passion for helping youth.' Robbie Gould, Chicago Bears placekicker THE GOULDEN TOUCH... The Mooseheart children embarked on a Christmas Shopping spree. Robbie Gould, placekicker of the Chicago Bears and his "The Goulden Touch " foundation took the Mooseheart children to Target on a Shopping Spree. "I'm excited to get the opportunity to work with Mooseheart," Gould said. "It's fun to put smiles on a kid's face." 99 Mooseheart children embarked on a 2 hour cheerful, fun pack day of shopping. The amount involved was pretty staggering. A total of $13,200 was available, Thanks to contributions by The GouldenTouch, the Chicago Bears' "Bears Care" charitable organization, Target and a personal donation made by Gould himself. This meant each of Mooseheart's elementary and middle school students was allowed to spend a bit over $120. "One thing that is special is that these kids were shopping for their family and other people they know." said store manager Kristen Barbaro. "I saw very little of shopping where the kids were shopping for themselves. That kind of touches your heart, when you think about the spirit of Christmas and the idea that these kids don't have a lot and yet, rather than buying for themselves, they are buying for others." |
| Why We Ask You To Show Your Membership Card Why do we ask you to show your membership card. Doing so maintains our rights as a private organization and can, quite literally, save our Lodge from financial ruin. I have walked into several hundred Moose Lodges during my years as a member and every time, I have been proud to reach into my wallet as I entered, to fulfill the requirement of displaying my Moose membership card. I have always thought of this small plasticized card as saying several things about me and about any other man or woman who carries one: It says that the holder is a fraternalist, a friendly person who enjoys the company of others and who stands ready to help a fellow human being in need whenever he or she can. It says that the holder is someone who holds a special place in his or her heart for children. Through his or her Moose membership, he is doing something real and tangible to provide hope and a better life for youngsters in need, at Mooseheart Child City & School in Illinois. And, it says that the holder is ensuring even if he or she reaches retirement age without adequate savings that together they will enjoy a secure, dignified retirement without being a burden to either family or society, through the availability of Moosehaven in Florida. Showing your card may be a slight inconvenience, but it is worth it to protect our Mooseheart kids and Moosehaven seniors entrusted to our care. Even if you*ve been a member for many years, be proud to show your Moose card every time you walk into the Lodge even if you*re not asked! It shows that you*re the sort of person who believes in doing something for the betterment of kids and seniors in need, and in making our community a better place to live and in maintaining our fraternity*s legal ability to do what we do, for many years to come. |
