MEETING FOR ALL CURRENT BINGO VOLUNTEERS AND PROSPECTIVE BINGO VOLUNTEERS. Please consister coming out to help. The current volunteers are getting "burn-out" They need new volunteers to keep this going.

Meet Marlene Carrel. Marlene has been a member for 42 years. She was born and raised in

Viroqua, WI and graduated from Viroqua High School. Marlene has 5 children, 7 grandchildren

and 3 great-grandchildren. After moving to Janesville she joined the Moose in 1975 and has been

an active member from that time to this. Marlene is currently the only member of her family who

belongs the Moose. She used her natural talent and a lot of what she learned from her mother to

start doing volunteer work in the kitchen at the Lodge. She then worked at a few other places as a

cook. She was eventually hired to be the Kitchen And Dining Room Manager for our Lodge,

where she served for 18 years. During her 18 yrs. she served Friday fish fries, Friday noon fish

lunch, cooked for all the Thursday jitney suppers, served a Tuesday and Thursday noon meal,

cooked for many funerals, wedding receptions and various other community service functions as

well as being a hostess and waitress at the Lodge. To this time she still volunteers in the kitchen

cooking and working in the dining room. She is currently working at Kwik Trip on Court Street.

She does find time to be a part of the Lodges bowling team and also another team that bowls at

RiversEdge. She also makes time in her busy schedule to sing in her church’s’ choir (Faith

Lutheran).

During the time she has been a member she has watched the Chapter change in many ways.

One that stands out in her mind is the dress code. It has gone from very formal dress to very


casual dress of pants and even jeans. By formal she means floor or tea length dresses. This

formal dress was required for all ceremonies and rituals of the Chapter. Speaking of rituals, she

was a member of the ritual team which has since been discontinued. Marlene things the ritual of

enrollment was what made the Chapter unique and was very sorry to see it discontinued. During

the time she was a member of the ritual team they took 1st place in the state competition many

times. She is still the Chaplin on the State Convocation Ritual Team.

The first position she held in the Chapter was Assistant Guide to the Senior Regent. She earned

her Academy Of Friendship from that position. This was just the start for her. She has held the

position of Recorder (5 times) and received the Star Recorder Degree, she became Senior

Regent and received the Degree Of Collegiate, and of course the position Junior Graduate

Regent. She held positions of Committee Chairman for Star Recorder, College Of Regents,

Academy Of Friendship, and later for Higher Degrees and last but not the least as Guide to the

Senior Regent.

She was Queen Of Sponsors for the state, sponsoring 31 members. She has also held the

position of Deputy Grand Regent (which is a state position). This past year, at the State

Conference, (for 2016) she received the “Award Of Distinction For Janesville Chapter In

Recognition Of A Lifetime Of Dedication To Mooseheart And Moosehaven”.
