The Worthy Prez sez….
It looks as though we are over the hill from the grip of another Michigan winter. We are looking forward to your return to the area, opening cabins and getting summer toys ready to go as well as the annual northern migration of our “Snowbirds”.
On January 22nd we had a Wing Ding Dinner for Hospice. I would like to thank all of our volunteers for donating their time and members who supported this event. We are going to have a Texas Hold’em Tournament with proceeds going to Hospice on March 26th. Tom Harris will be Chairing this event and a sign up sheet is at the bar. Remember to bring in your entry fee at time of registration.
It is close to that time of year when we celebrate that famous patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick. In recognition of this event we will be having a St. Patrick’s Party on March 19th beginning at 4:00. Once again we will be having Reuben sandwiches on Friday from 5 to 9. On Saturday from 4 to 8 we will have Rueben sandwiches and a Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner. Come join in the fun on what is always a great day!
Mark you calendars for our 20th Anniversary August 20th. The Committee for our party has been working hard planning a day of festivities to thank our members for 20 great years. Watch future newsletters for additional information.
In closing, Please remember the families of friends lost this past winter and the service men/women serving our country, in your prayers.

Chaplain’s Report
Sympathy cards were sent to the family of Thomas Schebel, family of Bill Dehn, family of Doug Kesson who was Grover & Betty Ankney’s son-in-law, Bob Bruett for the loss of his son, Bob & Dixie Town for the loss of his mother and to Darryl & Deb Stover for the loss of her mother. Get-well cards were sent to Bob Harris and Grover Ankney.
At every meeting a name is drawn from all the active members of the club. If that person is present at the meeting he wins $100. Greg Mulcahy’s name was drawn at the Feb 12th meeting. Greg was not present and forfeits his $100. This is just another good reason to attend the Aerie meetings.

This winter we have experienced problems with members parking along the road end blocking the fire hydrant. We have been warned by authorities and if we don’t address the problem, violators could be ticketed by law enforcement. We are requesting that members use the parking area across the road to avoid any future problems |
