2. District Social Here Jun 6 (article expiration: 2026-06-07)

The best way to meet our "Moose cousins" from the other chapters in our district (Hayward/Castro Valley, Pacifica, Santa Cruz, etc) is to attend the district socials. Since we are hosting it June 6 it could not be much easier. There will be meetings starting at 10AM and potluck lunch starting about 12:45. Moose International considers socializing pretty important and your attendance makes an impact on our participation visibility.

3. Carl Sandwick Awarded Legionnaire of the Year (article expiration: 2026-05-29)

At the April 28, 2026 Sunnyvale Moose board meeting, Carl Sandwick was awarded the Moose Legionnaire of the Year award on behalf of the Golden Spot 15 Legion organization. This was presented by Leonard Vyfinkel, President, and Perry James, Secretary of the GS #15 Moose Legion.

4. Youth Scholarship Awards (article expiration: 2026-05-26)

The Moose International Youth Awareness Congress was held April 16-20, 2026 in Phoenix, AZ. Students from across the United States and Canada attended.

The Sunnyvale Moose Lodge sponsored Kamal Haddad and he won the 3rd place scholarship for $6,000. Two years ago, Kamal also won 3rd place, so he’s beginning college with two scholarships.

There were six finalists from California this year. In addition to Kamal, there were two students from the Monterey Moose Lodge and three other California students. Alejandro Landon, sponsored by the Downey Moose Lodge in Southern California, won 5th place and $4,000. We are very proud of each of them!

The students had a wonderful time at this well-chaperoned event. Besides competing to win scholarships up to $12,000, they also enjoyed traveling, meeting students from many states, visiting new places and enjoying an amusement park in Phoenix.

On the Moose international website, you can learn more about the Moose Youth Awareness Program. If you know a motivated student who is interested in participating this fall, please contact Kathy Childs at the Moose 2049 lodge or fill out the feedback form. Only one informational meeting is required and those begin in August at local Moose Lodges. The students parents aren’t required to be Moose Members.

Questions or comments, please contact Kathy Childs, Youth Awareness Advisor for Northern CA. kathychilds@prodigy.net or 650-520-9004

5. Enroll to be a bartender (article expiration: 2026-02-10)

We want to have more social time where the social quarters are open and we also want to allow our bartenders to have a life because they feel they have to live at the lodge to serve at all of the events. That means we need more qualified bartenders. It's fun, you get to meet people, and you are helping our donations to our mission in a very real way. See details in the FAQ.

6. Newsletter Deadline Jan 10 (article expiration: 2026-01-10)

Article deadline for Jan/Feb 2026 Moose Newsletter is Jan 10th, 2026. Send any input to the editor, Kay Peterson.

7. Preferred Status Recognition Program (article expiration: 2025-12-30)

At the 2025 International Moose Convention this past May, Moose International CEO Scott Hart announced a new Fraternal Recognition Program that is "open to every member - whether you just joined or have had your College of Regents Degree or Pilgrim Degree for 10 years, we all are starting at square one."

For more details, view the entire recognition program.

8. Building Access (article expiration: 0000-00-00)

Keep your membership card with you all the time, as that is how to get into the building and what authorizes you to attend events and receive service from the bar and kitchen.

These are not our rules, they are what Moose International requires to ensure that we continue to be a members-only Family Fraternity.

To get building access, showing the back side of your card, come up slowly from about a foot away to the card reader next to one of the two entrances. When you hear the beep, the doors should unlock. Grab the handle and pull the door open.

Questions, feedback, or website issues; please let us know by filling out the feedback form or emailing Webmaster.
