Let me share some mentoring ideas, some of which are described in a book, titled 'Winning Ways' by Dick Lyles.

A mentor nurtures in the fraternal way rather than criticize because someone doesn't know the rules;
A mentor recognizes a person's strengths rather than their weaknesses –
A mentor collaborates rather than competes –
A mentor honors people's efforts rather than insulting an idea –
A mentor analyzes situations with others to get a variety of perspectives –
A mentor encourages new ideas rather than resisting –
A mentor involves others in planning, problem solving and decision making –
and finally a mentor influences for the future rather than the present or the past.

Each one of us were mentored and influenced in the fraternal way by one or more of our Lodge or Chapter members. These mentors, I'm sure, used most if not all of these 'winning ways' in convincing us to join this fraternal organization. Now it is our turn to return the favor and carry on this fraternal tradition of guiding someone else along the fraternal path.

The Moose Legion of Satellite Beach Lodge #2367 is planning a program of “Mentoring” that will begin with the re-introduction of the Loyal Order of Moose Ritual Installment Ceremony. This program provides our new members with an introduction into the reason for; meaning of; and goals that we, as a group of people seek to accomplish.

The Moose Legion Committee will be working closely with the Governor and the Administrator to insure that all new applicants are invited, and made aware of this function. A regular, uniform, time and place for the ceremony will be established…probably on a Sunday morning prior to regularly scheduled opening of the Lodge.

Those members of our Lodge who have not been offered this vital introduction into the Fraternity, will be invited to participate in the Ceremony.

We ask our members and co-workers to stay alert to what will happen to make this a great Lodge in a great Fraternity of people, working together for a common cause.

Fraternally,

Fred Collins
Moose Legion Committee Chairma

As many of you remember, our Order has required in the, that new member candidates attend a formal Enrollment Ceremony before Actually becoming a Lodge member. This requirement was waived in recent years, and the decision to have the Enrollment Ceremony was left up to the individual Lodges. As a result, many Lodges and perhaps even most Lodges, no longer have the formal Enrollment Ceremony.

We, the Satellite Beach Moose Legionnaires of Sailfish 197, still believe that the formal Enrollment Ceremony is an important, vital and needed part, not only of our Fraternity’s past, but also of our Fraternity’s present and future.

We do not believe that the Enrollment Ceremony is simply an out-dated tradition. We believe rather, that the information, history and personal challenges contained in the Enrollment Ceremony should be experienced by all members.

It is because of those beliefs that we have chosen to continue the formal Enrollment Ceremony on a monthly basis. Our Enrollment Ritual Team, currently being organized by Moose Legion Committee Vice-Chairman, Michael Marks, is preparing to formally enroll new Moose members each month, as required in the past.

The Ceremony for January will begin at noon on Sunday, January 22, 2012 with a short Orientation beginning approximately 30 minutes prior to the start of the Meeting.

In today’s uncertain times, we need more than ever, the fraternal camaraderie and close friendship developed by like-minded individuals with a common cause of caring for others. Knowing and understanding our history is a vital link in this process.

Anyone desiring to have the experience of the formal Enrollment is welcome to attend.

Fraternally,

Fred Collins
Moose Legion Committee Chairman
