The Worthy Prez sez….
I am going to go out on a limb and say that winter is in full swing here at
the Aerie. We had the Fun Run yesterday with a great turnout considering we
could not ride on the ice. Thanks for all of you that came out, we all had a
good time. With the two month newsletter it is important that you check the
Web Site and table tents etc. for up-to-date information on events at the
Aerie. As we have mentioned in the past, winter proves a little challenging
on meeting monthly expenses, so if you can, stop in and support your Club.
There is a full slate of events scheduled for this month so come on down.
Remember the donation cart for the Mission, located in the Club, and have a
safe winter. To all our Snowbird Brother Sisters checking in from down
below, you don’t know what your missing.
Fraternally, Worthy President

be mailed or available at the club every 2 months. However, the website will

Pastie Bake

$3.00—profits to support area college scholarship fund.
Officer Nominations Coming Up
Aerie and Auxiliary officer nominations occur the last part of April. Watch
for more information on how to participate in the next newsletter.
Trustees Corner
Looks like winter has arrived, snow is falling at the time of writing this
report. Hopefully we will have plenty of snow and ice on the river for the
upcoming winter events. Mark your calendar for the winter carnival on
February 4th, steak dinner and the final drawings for the Jack of Spades (
if not already drawn) February 11th , the second fun run February 18th and
the men’s 3 ball tournament along with the chili cook off on February 25th.
Once again we would like to tell everyone not to discuss club business in
the social room. If you have something to say bring it to the membership
meeting. We hear more rumors of club business brought up in social room by
people not understanding the rules. With the lake starting to freeze and the
snow coming, we want to remind everyone not to park snowmobiles, quads and 4
wheelers by the fire hydrant. You could possibly receive a ticket or have
your ride hauled away. Also please do not park on the blacktop people
leaving in their vehicles might not see them and cause damage. Also studded
tracks tear up the black top in the parking lot. Another reminder to all who
use the smoking area, propane costs are high and the trustees have to use
their gas and time to have tanks filled. Please don’t leave heater on when
you go inside the club, turn heater to pilot. At closing heater should be
turned completely off. If the tank runs out change it, it is not the
trustee’s job to change tanks. If you do not know ask someone to show you,
not much different than changing tank on your barbeque grill.
Thank you B.O.T.
Jack of Spades Final Draw for Current License Year
We are coming to the end of our one year license for the Jack of Spades
Game. If the Jack of Spades has not been drawn by Saturday February 11th, we
will have multiple draws that day starting at 5:00 p.m. All tickets
purchased that week will remain in the drum for all draws. Each hour we will
draw four tickets and continue that process until the Jack of Spades has
been won. You will have an opportunity to purchase additional tickets each
hour until the game is over. Remember there are plenty of pay cards still on
the board, so the more tickets purchased the more times you can win. You can
possibly win each hour. The tickets selected each time will not go back in
the drum, so make sure you buy a bunch of them. We will be taking a short
break from the Jack Game until close to spring, so keep your eyes open for
the next go at it. The Jack of Spades Committee wants to thank everyone for
their participation and hope you will be ready for the next go around.
