The Worthy Prez sez…. As I begin my term, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each Officer of the Aerie and Auxiliary for their service and support during this past year. Additionally, I would like to congratulate and welcome the incoming Aerie and Auxiliary Officers. I am confident our membership will continue to show their ongoing support. The Mother’s Day breakfast was well received and my thanks to the guys who graciously offered their time, efforts and expertise! As summer approaches, there are several activities planned at our Club during the coming months including the Annual Boat Parade with this year’s theme, ‘Disney on Parade’ on July 1st, as well as the Secord Lake Eagles Camel Race weekend on July 7 & July 8. Our Entertainment Committee has several events in store as well. Please remember to check the calendar, table tents, and outside signs for more detailed information. I look forward to working closely with both the Aerie and Auxiliary during this year, and welcome suggestions from our membership. Also, a special thank you to all of the Past Worthy Presidents, whose guidance and advice I will continue to seek. In closing, I ask that we keep in our thoughts and prayers, the men and women serving in the Armed Forces for their safe return, as well as our members who are experiencing health problems. Fraternally, Curt Wingate Worthy President - Elect Aerie Chaplain’s Report Sympathy cards were sent to Les Diffin (son), Leon Shortt (brother), and Harry Gedney (friend) for the passing of Ceclia Diffin.

Thank you from Julie LaBean To everyone who gave so much love and helped with all your hearts for my benefit, I can’t even begin to express how much you have changed my life. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m sorry I have taken so long to thank all of you, but between surgery and wedding preparations for Nikki, I’ve been a bit overwhelmed. Again, I thank all of you and “God bless you”. Julie LaBean
