“Great Idea”

Jan,
I just wanted to express to you that this was my first time at Mooseheart and I truly believe the children are our future. Through your eyes I have seen how important the children are to you. I know the Gimme Five program can and will work.

If everyone would keep that soda bottle they throw in the trash and take it back to the store, they won’t have to reach in their pockets to get that nickel to put in that jar twice a day.

We have our members bring the bottles to us and we will get the nickels for the children . Three days of bottles gave us $17.00 – doesn’t sound like much but, if all the Chapters and Lodges did this, it would amount to $$$$$$$. I have started this again for our Chapter and I know we will have over $500.00 if not double by the end of the year. I know this ‘Bottles for Mooseheart’ program will get even bigger. The store wasn’t too happy when I took in the first 300 bottles. The money that the large company got (Coke and Pepsi) for deposits is in the millions and they get to keep those funds because people throw the bottles away. Well, I want a piece of those funds for Mooseheart.

Your help at the Moose Charities booth in Chicago was very much appreciated.  It was a pleasure seeing many of you again and meeting others for the first time.  I look forward to seeing you in Nashville next year!
