April, 2013
Your help needed to plan our Aerie Picnic Here’s a reminder to all Brothers and Sisters. Our Aerie Picnic will be held on the weekend of July 20 at the VFW Campground between Orting and South Prairie. Mark your calendars and make plans to come out this year for a weekend of fun, food and friends. As usual, we cannot put on such an event without your help. If anyone would like to volunteer to help out, it would be greatly appreciated.
From Your Madam President
A big thank you for all your help Happy Spring I can’t believe how time has flown by. This Eagle year is almost over. I want to say thank you to all the chairmen and helpers this year. A huge thank you to Cathi Mahan for raising monies for the Jimmy Durante Child Abuse Fund, and to Shireen Ainsworth for the Cancer Fund. You two Sisters rock! This month we will have nominations of officers for 2013-14. We would love to have new Sisters coming to the meetings and getting involved. The meetings are on the second and fourth Thursdays. Remember Laughter is the Best Kind Of Medicine. — Loni Andrews, Madam President

From Your Worthy President
Are you ready to step up and take the reins? My does time fly! It seems like only yesterday that I took my oath as Worthy President and here we are with only two more months left in the term. What that means Brothers is that it has come time to think on selecting our replacements. Do you have what it takes to be an officer of the Aerie? Are you free on Wednesday nights and have time to come down and support special events? Have you wondered how the Aerie spends its funds and makes decisions on how things are run? Are you willing to put an effort forth to have a positive impact on your Aerie and make it a better place for everyone? If so, perhaps you (or someone you know) could be and officer of Daffodil Aerie #2308. A big thank you to all those who made the District #7 Meeting at Daffodil a big success this year. At the Aerie meeting, we initiated 10 new Brothers and had a good round of discussion afterwards that has been missing from our past efforts. — Dave Andrews, Worthy President
Last call for vintage photos and stories!! Daffodil Aerie’s 75th Anniversary is approaching fast, so this is the last call for pictures, stories or items from the past that could be used in our upcoming celebration. So dig through those old boxes in the attic or talk to some friends who had parents or grandparents involved back in the day and lets see what we can find and preserve for generations to come. See page 5 for examples.
