"Gimme Five" - Support Mooseheart & Moosehaven
Set aside a nickel in the morning and a nicket in the evening, add it up and in 12 months you've got $36.50. Now multiply that amount by 1 million Moose members and after five years (by the end of 2012) it could add up to $182.5 million. The interest from such a sum is subtantial and that amount would provide financial security for Mooseheart (The Child City & School near Chicago) and Moosehaven (retirement community in Florida). A $36.50 gift from each of us is tax-deductible as "Moose Charities" is registered as a charity with the IRS under Internal Revenue Code Chapter 501(c)(3). Mankato's Louis Allen is the Regional "Gimme Five" Chairman and Carolyn Allen is the WOTM State "Gimme Five" Co-Chair. Write a check to Moose Charities for the "Gimme Five" fund and help those nickels add up. Click here to make a donation on-line.
