The Annapolis Moose Lodge #296 is proud to celebrate our One Hundred Year Anniversary from 10:30am - 5 pm on Saturday, June 19, 2010. Ours is among the oldest lodges in the United States, and to mark the occasion, the Lodge will host an Anniversary Open House with family-friendly events and activities throughout the day. All are welcome and the event is free admission. We encourage everyone to come visit us at 1890 Crownsville Road Annapolis, MD 21401, phone number (410) 266-0688. Just a small sample of the scheduled events includes lawn mower races, a car show, rides and children's games, a moon bounce, and of course, plenty of food and good old fashioned Moose fun! Come dressed in your favorite fashion from the last 100 years and win prizes in our costume contest. A display promoting the mission of the Moose and it's history of service will be available to show our community how we serve both locally and nationally to help families and children in need. Also planned is the burial of a time capsule commemorating our young and diverse Moose membership today - it will be unearthed in twenty-five years on July 19, 2035. Do not miss the time capsule ceremony or the rest of our special celebration!
