Sunshine Child
The Moose Legion has a new Sunshine Child they would like to introduce to the Lodge members. Her name Is Madison Janda, she is 2 yrs old and resides at the Alleghany home at Mooseheart, Il. Just before entering the clubroom look to your left and you can see her picture on the wall. We are just getting to know Madison. Our 1st contact was Halloween when we sent her a Halloween box. In return she colored us a picture which was sent accompanied by a letter from her 2 teachers. We are now in the process of doing Christmas for her which is fun. Here at the Lodge Charlie Dull and Susie Key will be Madison’s “Mommy & Daddy.” If any member is interested in sending a card to Madison or would like to participate in special events that the Moose lodge does for her please contact Charlie, Susie or Brenda Shiflett.
The Moose Legion would like to give a Special “Thank You “ to Amvet on W. Beverley and V.F.W. on Frontier Drive for their generous Donations that will go toward the care of Madison.
