| The Worthy Prez sez….
As you feel the crisp cool air, you know that Fall is on its way. Soon we will begin saying goodbye to our snowbirds for the season. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has volunteered during our busy summer season. The Vegas night was successful and I’d like to thank Chairman Jim O’Connell along with the many workers and volunteers for a job well done. Our monthly euchre tournament also went quite well. In addition, the moonlight dart tournament chaired by Jim Cooper was successful. Thank you to all who participated in support of the Presidents charity. To all of you who attended and participated with the Port Huron bus trip, thank you! I know they had a great time here at Secord Lake. During the month of October, there are several events happening. On Sunday, October 7 from 8 AM til 11 AM., our final country breakfast for this year. Also, the kid’s Halloween party will be Saturday, October 20th and the adult Halloween party will be Saturday, October 27th. Please remember to mark your calendars. For additional details, check out the calendar, table tents & outdoor signs.
Our Aerie meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Saturday’s beginning at 9:30 A.M. I hope to see you there. Please remember to keep our members having health problems as well as those soon to be traveling along with our Military men & women in your thoughts and prayers for their safe return home.
Sincerely,
Curt Wingate
Worthy President

This year has seemed to fly by – where has summer gone? A reminder of meeting changes for November & December: the Nov 24th meeting has been changed to Nov 17th and the Dec 22nd meeting has been changed to Dec 18th. There will be no initiation in December for the Auxiliary.
Bob & Dixie Town have been doing a great job with their 3rd Friday of the month Euchre tournaments. Get a partner and come and join in: the more the merrier. A special thanks to Al & Phyllis Faust and all their helpers for Bingo. What a great contribution they make. Prepare to yell BINGO & listen to Al as he clowns around – he does like to have fun. Don’t feel like cooking dinner? Come join us on Wednesday & Thursday nights @ 5 PM for Gary’s specials, and Friday & Saturdays for Bill’s specials. What great cooks they are!
October 20th is the kid’s Halloween Party & October 27th is the adult Halloween party chaired by Tina who does a spooktacular job every year. November 3rd is the UofM/MSU game party chaired by Al & Tami. “Go Blue!” November 15th is the Harvest Dinner with Leona and her crew and the Bake Sale with Darlene and her crew.

December 15th will be the Member Appreciation/Christmas Party hosted by the Board of Trustees with a delicious spread to show their thanks to all of our members for their help & support throughout the year.
Keep our men & women in battle in your prayers for a safe and soon return.

Auxiliary Chaplain’s Report
Cool mornings are here. Soon we will be raking leaves. Snowbirds will be heading south. Please let us know if anyone is ill or if anyone loses a loved one. We continue to pray for all our armed forces and their families.
I am sad to report Virginia Chaney's husband Wally passed away. He was a good husband, father and grandpa. A sympathy card was sent to Linda Oginsky whose brother in law passed away. A sympathy card was sent to Helena Schmidt's daughter Helena Powell for her mother passing. Thinking of you cards were sent to Ivy Schmidt and Lolly Oliver, Lolly is caring for Ivy in Florida. A thinking of you card was sent to JoAnn Le Blanc whose brother Charles Packmier is very ill.
A card was sent to Aggie Peters who is in the West Branch hospital. A card was sent to Wendy Jakey who is ill. A card was sent to Pat White who is recovering from knee surgery.
Get well cards were sent to Catherine Marker, Dee Woods, Dixie Towns and Pam Ray. Pam has viral Pneumonia.

TRUSTEE’S CORNER
Concern has been raised by several members about a need for more stringent checking of membership cards on our busy weekends and when there are special events. If you could volunteer a few hours “on the door” to help check cards please sign the sheet in the hall near the popcorn machine. Some members of the Auxiliary have already volunteered their time !!
We would like to thank Russ & Cathy Norton for donating a quantity of silverware for our kitchen and the Auxiliary for purchasing additional large serving platters.
We are considering a larger menu (in printed size, not expanded offerings) to accommodate more requests for advertising space. Anyone who might like to advertise should let the BOT’s be aware so we could plan accordingly.
October 1st begins “Sports Sundays” and in addition to “Free Pool”, all drinks will be discounted 50 cents all day. And, as many of you have been waiting for, “Happy Hours” return Monday thru Thursday from 4-8 PM with 25 cents off all drinks.
Lastly, we would like to remind our members that the sale of products not club related is prohibited within the Aerie. These are products that are for “personal profit” and do not benefit the club. Additionally, no signs are to be posted to that end. And on the subject of signs, please observe the proper bulletin boards for posting of notices. The hallway outside the bingo hall should only be used for Eagle or Aerie business & events only. There is a bulletin board outside the main door for other flyers and a board inside the door for people to leave their business cards. If in doubt, ask a Trustee or barstaff on duty. Thank you, BOT’s
