From Moose International, "You may have heard the saying, “A burden heavy to one is borne lightly by many.” This is at the core of the Moose organization and what makes us unique in our Lodges, local communities and charitable “cities” that we support. Our roots can be traced to 1888 and the founder of the Moose, Dr. Henry Wilson, who successfully established the first Lodge in Louisville, Kentucky. In the early years, the Moose was to serve a modest goal of offering men an opportunity to gather socially, to care for one another’s needs and celebrate life together.
Since those early years, our fraternal organization rapidly expanded to include valuable service to our communities, care for children and teens in need at Mooseheart Child City & School , a 1,000-acre campus, located 40 miles west of Chicago and care for our senior members at Moosehaven, a 70-acre retirement community near Jacksonville, Florida."
Much of everything we do here is rooted in the above, in our valued history and our mission to help Mooseheart and Moosehaven. We gather for fellowship, dinner, events, charity, etc. But at the heart of everything is helping our fellow Moose members and others who are less fortunate.
Stop in and check out what we do. Stick around for some fellowship and maybe join us in our events to help Mooseheart, Moosehaven, and our own community.
