Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve Whether our seniors have lived at Mooseheart for thirteen years or only three, when the calendar page flips to the month of May, butterflies start to swarm inside their stomachs.  Will all the preparation, all the training; all the classroom and life experiences now come together in a determined focus on achieving great things in adulthood?  Only time will tell, as these young ladies and men move off into college, military service and careers.  The dreams of a young heart will lead some to pursue nursing, automotive mechanics or elementary education and others to join the United States Armed Forces or study at a technical school.  Whatever path they choose, they move on well equipped to meet the challenges of life with a faithful Moose fraternity backing them all the way. The Class of 2010 ‘s senior year officially “kicked-off” at the Senior Ring Ceremony on Sunday, September 11th at the St. Charles Moose Lodge No.1368.  The final gathering of the seniors in a formal setting, prior to being onstage together during the commencement exercises, was on Sunday, May 16th at the St. Charles Moose Lodge No. 1368 during the Senior Laptop presentation.  How fitting that the first and last significant activities of the senior class occurred inside the protective shelter of a Moose Lodge, spending time with their extended family. On Saturday, May 22nd, as our seniors reach out to accept their high school diploma from Board Chair Tommy Hatcher, the final piece of the puzzle will be in place and the transition from childhood to adulthood at Mooseheart will be complete.  They have been taught that it is far greater to give than to receive – a message that the members of the Moose fraternity model for our children every day of the year.  The members of the Class of 2010 will now have the opportunity to enjoy the independence of adulthood and help bear the responsibility of citizenship.  Citizenship that calls us to stand up for what is right and true and just.  To pitch in and lead by example when others only what to lend their voice.  To respect their elders and to help those who are less fortunate.  In all things, in all manners and in all situations, continue to live by the Mooseheart Motto, “Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve.” Congratulations to the Class of 2010!
