Crabs & oysters on the menu again in March!! Last year in July at the Grand Aerie convention in Reno, Mike Lagervall from Ballard Aerie #172, became our Grand Worthy President. His year will be coming to an end and it is traditional that a “Homecoming” in his honor be held. Since Ballard Aerie does not have a home at present and Mike is a dual member in Puyallup, he has asked us to host his homecoming at our Aerie hall. On Sunday, March 7th we will be having a crab and oyster feed with the proceeds going to help defray the expenses of this event. You will get a crab and a half, cole slaw and garlic bread for $20. We will also have nickel beer. You can also have an oyster dinner with the usual trimming for $9. Tickets will be limited to 100 for the crab dinner and 100 for the oyster. You can get tickets at the Secretary’s office or from Loni or the bartender. They have been available since February 8. We expect that the homecoming will “pack the house” on July 17 and there will be guests from across the country. Any money raised that is not needed will go to the Diabetes Research Center. — Leonard Blakely, International Director of the Diabetes Fund — Ellen Blakely, Grand Aerie Mother

From Your Aerie President
It’s beginning to look like spring! Hello again Brothers and Sisters! Spring is almost here! The plants are starting to bud and the days keep getting longer. It won’t be long before we’ll see and hear the familiar things that spring brings — the sound of children playing, the smell of fresh cut lawns and the colors of flowers. All of these things remind us of how wonderful life can be. Our Aerie will be busy this month at our meetings. We’ll be hosting the District #7 Meeting on Sunday, March 14 at 10 a.m. If you ever had any thoughts of what happens at these meetings, you’re all welcome to attend. We’ll also be having a joint officers’ meeting for the Aerie on Wednesday, March 31. Soon we’ll be having nominations of officers for next year. If you think you might be interested, come to the meetings and check with the office to find out what positions will be up for election. We can always use new officers with new ideas for the future of the Eagles here in Puyallup. Lastly I would like to mention that we have a new cook in the kitchen. In addition, there is a project to replace the carpet, so let’s all keep supporting the Aerie. Thanks again for you advise and patience. — Fraternally, Jonas White, Aerie President
Spring Is About To Be Sprung!
