GIMME FIVE" -- What Is It? Nothing More, or Less, Than
Simple Plan to Help Ensure
The Future of Mooseheart and Moosehaven

Five Cents set aside from the change you pour into your pocket or purse in the morning.

Five more cents set aside from the change you empty from your pocket or purse in the evening.

Just that: a nickel in the morning, a nickel in the evening, set aside and sent to Moose Charities, for the kids of Mooseheart and the seniors of Moosehaven.

That's the new "GIMME FIVE" program -- it's really nothing more than that

But it's also nothing  than this: If anything close to the entire membership of the Loyal Order of Moose and Women of the Moose were to do just that much...every day...for five years...it could ensure the financial future of Mooseheart Child City; School in Illinois, and of our Moosehaven retirement community in Florida -- without having to keep coming to Moose members every year to ask for more.

How can this be? Remember the wisdom of our Enrollment Ritual: "A burden heavy to one is borne lightly by many." The, do the math:

We honestly believe that very, very few of our nearly 1.3 million Moose men and women would find it a hardship to set aside a nickel in the morning, and a nickel at night, for Mooseheart and Moosehaven.

But let's be conservative and say that only 1 million can or will do so. For each of those caring members, then: Five cents in the morning, five cents in the evening is ten cents a day -- or $36.50 a year

That amount multiplied by 1 million members...is $36.5 million per year. After five years, by the end of 2012, that could be $182.5 million before accumulating investment interest is added in.

All from five cents in the morning, and five cents in the evening

It's that simple -- but participating in "Gimme Five" can be even simpler: Instead of trying to remember to physically set aside a nickel in the morning and a nickel in the evening from now through 2012, you can...

Mail Moose Charities a check for your annual "Gimme ive" contribution of $36.50, or all five years at once for $182.50, to Moose Charities, 155 S. International Dr., Mooseheart, IL 60539-1100. (Any questions, please phone Moose Charities at 630-966-2200.

If EVERY Moose parrticipates in the Gimme Five program, we can reach a goal for which our fraternity has struggled for more than 90 years -- financial security for Mooseheart and Moosehaven.  We have expressed our pride in these two great Moose humanitarian creations for decates -- and our members have told us, loudly and clearly, that they want to keep these two campuses healthy and operating well into the future.
Well, the GIMME FIVE program can make tha happen -- but only if we ALL participate!

Let's make it happen -- together!
