One of the reasons I became a Moose member was to support the Mission and to help communities. But I find it hard to believe that our State Legislatures wish to shut down the business of Fraternal Organizations.  I'm struck by how many of our elected officials have no idea what we do.  the American Legions, Am Vets, Eagles, Lions, Moose and Elks have served the test of time.  we have all given to our community without fail  

Being a non-profit organization taking 40% of the monies would hurt the lodge and would filter down to the places that we donate too.

PLEASE reconsider the 40%and be fair to all
