Wow, how time fly's by when your having fun!  It is getting time for our next quarterly road and lodge clean up.  We have had some difficulties in the past getting schedules to come together.  This time we are going to set a rain date too!  The next Clean Fairfax road clean up day is Saturday September 25th, 2010 at 9:00 am.  The rain date is set for Sunday September 26, 2010 at 9:00 am. Please mark your calendars now for this weekend clean up.  We will up date this article if changes occur.  We thank you for all your help!

We will be doing a lot of manual labor this time! Please come help us with the edging, tree trimming, sweeping, lodge plant bed mulching, and lodge and road trash pick up.  For those that show up for the clean up, Anita's breakfast burritos will be served (while supplies last).  Work gloves will be provided!

Fraternally,

What’s with the new site logo? Where did the old Moose International PAP logo go?  These are all valid questions. During the last Moose International website competition, the website committee was told that using the old PAP logo was inappropriate because Moose International had discontinued using the logo within the fraternity some time ago.  For this reason, I have been researching new logos for the website.  I am currently trying out a new logo.  This may or may not be the final logo for use on the site.  I am letting committee members and the general membership comment on the new design.  Do you have a comment?  Please tell us what you think of the new site logo on the Contact Us page.  We would love to hear your comments.
