Moose Launch Organization’s Own ‘Economic Stimulus Plan’

MOOSEHEART, Ill., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ — At a time when more and more
people are in need, the number of people seeking volunteer opportunities has
spiked. To encourage people to get involved in volunteer opportunities, Moose
International, the fraternal organization with nearly 1.2 million men and
women members, has announced the “Moose Economic Stimulus Plan”.

For the first time in its 121-year history, the Moose organization will
institute a $0 enrollment fee for membership applications accepted between
March 1 and April 30, 2009.

“People have continued to join our organization for the numerous
opportunities we offer to volunteer in their communities and to help people in
need,” said Bill Airey, CEO, Moose International. “Now, at a time when people
are suffering and have to make difficult decisions about where to cut
spending, we decided to waive our application fee so people interested in the
organization can continue to take advantage of tremendous benefits,” said
Airey.

The men and women of the Moose continually cite the organization’s many
volunteer opportunities as the primary reason they join the organization. In
fact, Moose members conduct more than $90 million worth of community service
programs annually. In addition to the charitable work opportunities, the Moose
organization provides its members with low-cost meals and entertainment,
discounts on prescriptions, life insurance, eye care, car insurance, travel
expenses, and more.

Moose International is an international membership organization of roughly
1.2 million men and women dedicated to caring for young and old, bringing
communities closer together and celebrating life. The Moose organization
maintains more than 1,800 Moose Centers across the U.S., Canada, Great Britain
and Bermuda, providing members with family-oriented social, dining and sports
activities. The Moose organization’s main endeavors include Mooseheart Child
City & School, a residential community and school for children whose families
are unable to care for them; and Moosehaven, a Florida retirement community
for senior members in need. Children at Mooseheart, located outside of
Chicago, receive the nurturing home, spiritual development and solid education
they need to reach their full potential through a variety of innovative,
nationally-recognized educational and family-living programs.
