Hello Fellow Moose MembersI hope everyone’s holiday went as well as Beth and I. We got to spend some quality time with family & our “stud” guy. He is now 2 yrs 4 months old! It was priceless watching him open up his presents, but it was costly on our wallets. We now know who “Thomas the Train” is in great detail! I would like to thank the 9 folks who came up and help get our social quarters in the Holiday Spirits. Even with 9 of us here it still took about 3 hours. Also would like to thank the fish fry crew for their great job serving so many people. This year’s resolution for 2012 is going to be …. Not only keeping all our Moose members coming back to Lodge 428, but to try to bring back past members who have let their membership expire. This is when I will need everyone’s help. I know you know of at least someone who has let their membership expire, please take the time to see why or how to get them back enjoying everyone’s fellowship at the lodge. If it is something that we as officers can change, please let us know so that hopefully we can get them to re-join the Moose Lodge. The other New Year’s resolution for our Kenton 428 Moose Lodge is to continue being the “friendliest place in town”. Together we can make both of these goals work and strengthen Lodge 428 to even a higher level. A level that will make more people join the “friendliest place in town”. Remember membership and retention will help keep our lodge growing! .

- Rose Parade or Rose Bowl
- Which came first? The parade came first in 1890 as “the battle of the flowers” with vehicles decorated in flowers parading thru the town. The parade was developed to bring tourists and money to the town. Later on the name was changed to “Tournament of Roses”. In 1901, 11 years later, the decision was made to have a football game to complete the day of the “Tournament of Roses” parade and make more money for the city. The first game was played in 1902 between Michigan and Stanford University. This first game had 8,000 in attendance with horse and buggy parking for an additional $1. That first game was won by Michigan 49 - 0. Ohio State has played in the Rose Bowl 14 times beginning in 1921.
- Origin of the High Five
- The traditional “high five” celebration goes back to the 1931 Rose Bowl. Alabama University vs. Washington University. An Alabama player named Fogerty, carried the ball 25 times. Each time 5 yards exactly were gained. Showing support, team members would slap each other’s palms. Soon this caught on with the public and became known as exchanging or giving a “high five”. - WOTM Breakfast
