The Worthy Prez sez….
Well Spring has sprung on Secord Lake. With the lack of snow this winter it
has been slow at the Club but things are picking up. I would like to extend
an open invitation to every one especially our Snow Birds and weekenders who
have not been around for awhile to get involved and chair an event or
volunteer to work one. New ideas are always welcome. Please bring your ideas
to our twice monthly meetings.
I would like to thank the Jack of Spades Committee for a job well done; I
know there was a lot hours volunteered to make that a success. The Jack of
Spades will be restarted some time in May.
Fraternally, Worthy President

The Madam Prez sez…
Well Spring has sprung. The snowmobiles are put away. Just waiting for the
hoists to go into the water and the boats to appear.
Welcome home snowbirds we have missed your smiling faces.
Our grocery basket for the Mission is still in the hallway. At this time it
could use some help. Paper products mainly bathroom tissue

Stay Peachy!

Pastie Bake/Scholarship Fund
Each year, the Secord Eagles awards scholarships to area students from Gladwin,
West Branch and Beaverton. The Scholarship Committee screens applicants
carefully, selecting students who are talented and have great ambition, yet have
limited resources. In many cases, these students would be unable to attend
college if not for the support of the Eagles. The scholarship program is one of
the most important of the Eagles many community projects, truly an example of
people helping people. The sole source of funding for these scholarships is the
pastie bake. If you have ever worked or witnessed this event, you how hard they
work and yet how much fun they have while doing it.
In recent years, pastie sales have been down significantly, due in large part to
the retirements of individuals who worked downstate and took orders for pasties
from their friends and co-workers. If you are in a position where you can take
downstate orders for pasties and deliver them, please help us out. The pasties
are homemade, delicious and a bargain at $3.00 each. The last date to order is
April 22nd. Orders can be picked up on or after May 1st.
