Charter suspended, Aerie Trustees but we are still open We’re doing our best to get At the Aerie meeting on October 6, it was announced that the Aerie Charter was suspended effective October 4. The reasons for the suspension were: 1. President’s Duties. 2. Trustee’s Duties, and 3. Auditor’s Duties. One October 4 Mike Simonds, a state officer, was appointed as the agent in charge of Puyallup Aerie. This means that he has complete control of all Aerie matters and business. The Aerie is OPEN and running normally. The agent removed all current Trustees and appointed Buck Mann, Jerry Miller, Len Webster, Mike Sheffer and Mike Sader as the new trustees. Here’s the reason this all happened. A letter was written to the Washington State Local Aerie Advisor asking for help in our Aerie. It was pointed out in the letter that the Trustees were proposing house rule changes that would remove the Auxiliary from sharing in the Sunday breakfast proceeds and also change the way funeral luncheon proceeds are handled. However, the Auxiliary had nothing to do with writing the letter. I, as the Aerie Secretary, was asked to respond to questions asked on a two page “cursory audit” form, which I did. The State Aerie then voted to recommend to the Grand Aerie that the Charter be suspended. Since the Grand Worthy President, who is a member of our Aerie, was present that weekend, the suspension moved rather fast. Another factor that prompted the suspension was that an audit has not been performed since February of this year. The main reason I know what I do is that I am a Past State President and I attend all State Aerie Executive Board meetings. If you would like to read or would like a copy of the letter suspending our Aerie Charter, I would be glad to give it to you. If you have any questions please contact me at the Aerie office. I am normally there most days from around 8 a.m. until noon. — Leonard Blakely, Aerie Secretary
us through our tough times Hello Aerie Brothers and Auxiliary Sisters! Here’s a note from your new Aerie Trustees — Jerry Miller, Mike Sader, Buck Mann, Len Webster, and Mike Sheffer. Communication equals success — and success means getting our Aerie turned around and having our Charter reinstated! We are working hard at taking care of all the issues. Grand Aerie says we need to, so please, if you have questions about what’s going on, ask one of the Aerie Trustees. We will be glad to answer your questions as best as we can. We’re new at this, so please bear with us at this time. With your help and patience, we will get past this difficult time! Thank you! — Daffodil Aerie #2308 Board of Trustees
