From Your Worthy President
After 32 years, Leonard is back as our President Brothers and Sisters, First, congratulations to Junior Past Worthy President Dave Andrews. You had a great year and you are one of the best at ritual in many years. Well here we go again. I was your Worthy President 32 years ago and am going to try it again to see if I can get it right. We’re going to try some new things. First is a planning committee chaired by Dave Andrews. The idea of this is to plan ahead for future events so we don’t have any last minute surprises. If you have an idea for some future event, please get a hold of Dave or myself. We are going to have a new Auditor. Past State President John Noldan, who is also the State Aerie Auditor, will be auditing our books. John is also in charge of training for the State Aerie this year and I hope to have him doing some officer and trustee training in the near future. There are still two chairmanships open. We need a Sick Visitation Chairman. This consists of sending cards to Eagle members who are ailing and/or family members of Eagles whom we have lost. The Aerie Secretary will give you names and addresses and you will be reimbursed for purchase of cards. We also need a Picnic Chairman for the 2014 Aerie Picnic. Please contact me if you are interested in either of these important jobs. We are also starting a meeting attendance drawing. See the article and rules on page 6 of this newsletter.

75th Anniversary a success thanks to you Thanks to Bonnie Munce for submitting the winning logo entry and to Garry Morris for the winning motto entry. Though the 75th Anniversary Committee altered them both slightly, the winners both received $50 gift certificates good at the Aerie. If they have not received them at the time of this printing please contact the Aerie manager. As of this writing (Sunday, May 19) we are half way through our Anniversary Week. The “Old Timers” night went well. Thanks to the Auxiliary for preparing and serving the meal and for the delicious homemade pies. Our Western Night also went well. We earned $357 for our charities and the “get out of jail free” cards were popular. Thanks to Yvonne Brown and her crew, Saturday’s open house was a huge success and we signed up many Aerie and Auxiliary members. Thanks to our Club Manager Loni for all of her hard work during the week and thanks to all of the committee members: Ellen Blakely, Jim Centoni, Yvonne Brown, Clif and Phyllis Dickson, and Bob and Shireen Ainsworth. — Leonard Blakely, 75th Anniversary Chairman
