Good Day my Brother and Sister Members of Surfside Beach Moose. The Lodge needs your help. Over the course of a day approximately 200 – 400 Members and guests pass through our doors to enjoy a meal, beverage or our free entertainment. During that period of time our bathrooms get many visits from us. Our Lodge is cleaned thoroughly daily every morning. There is not any other cleaning of our Lodge after we open. We do not have that luxury. We are not like McDonalds or a department store that has a dedicated staff to handle that chore. We need you to help us keep our bathrooms clean. If you are using the bathrooms, please do not hesitate to pick up a stray paper towel or wipe down the sink if it needs it. If the paper towels or toilet paper has run out, please tell our bartender and they will get it replaced. Remember, this is your Lodge and it’s bathrooms should be treated the same way as you treat yours at home. Please help us in any way you can to help maintain a high standard of cleanliness and not look the other way when our bathrooms need attention. Thank you in advance for your much needed help & co-operation. The Surfside Beach Moose Lodge Board of Officers.
Lodge Hours: Monday – Saturday 11am – 10pm & Sundays 11am – 9pm or at the discretion of the Bartender. Kitchen Hours: Sundays: 12-6pm. s Fridays: 11am – 8pm. Monday – Thursday & Saturdays 11am – 7pm.
The Loyal Order of Moose is a fraternal and service organization for both men and women founded in 1888 with nearly 650,000 men & women in roughly 1,500 Lodges in 49 states and four Canadian provinces, plus Great Britain. Along with other units of Moose International, the Loyal Order of Moose supports the operation of Mooseheart Child City & School, a 1,000-acre community for children and teens in need, located 40 miles west of Chicago; and Moosehaven, a 70-acre retirement community for its members near Jacksonville, FL. Additionally, members of the Moose conduct approximately $70 million worth of community service (counting monetary donations and volunteer hours worked) annually. The Loyal Order of Moose organizes and participates in numerous sports and recreational programs, in local Lodges and Family Centers in the majority of 44 State and Provincial Associations, and on a fraternity-wide basis. Lodges across the Fraternity are known for creating life-long bonds between members through activities and a shared concern for children in need, seniors and the communities in which they live. When you need to travel – whether for business or pleasure – your Moose membership card is your passport to a friendly place, while away from home.
