Moberly Moose donates Tommies to MSHP

Joe Gully, left, governor of the Moberly Moose Lodge, presents Sgt. Nick Berry, center, and Sgt. Frank Riley, with a Tommy the Moose. The Moose Lodge provided nine of the stuffed animals to ride with the troopers. Tommy helps children that the Highway patrolmen encounter on duty, for example, those who have been in automobile accidents or are in the middle of a domestic violence call. Sgt. Berry said it gives the child something else to focus on and “makes a world of difference.” Gully said the Lodge is raising funds so the Moberly Police Department and the Ambulance Department will have Tommies to carry with them. Anyone wanting to donate may contact the Lodge at 660-263-1128.
