"gimmefive" What Is It? Nothing More, or Less, Than A 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 "gimmefive" program -- it's really nothing more than that. But it's also nothing less 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." Then, 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 of this from five cents in the morning and five cents in the evening. It's that simple -- but participating in "gimmefive" 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 " gimmefive" contribution of $36.50, or all five years at once for $182.50, to Moose Charities, 155 S.
