The Madam Prez sez…
Hello Everyone. Labor Day is over and what a great weekend we had! Both the
weather and the festivities were great. I want to say thank you to Carol Nowak
and her crew for a successful Steak Fry. She did a great job and those steaks
were over the top. Coming up this month we have the U of M / State game which
always proves to be a fun time. The Auxiliary will once again host a Polish
Fest Dinner on Saturday, October 17, 2009. Last year the dinner was a great
success, and the home made food was delicious.
We will need lots of hands on deck to pull this off, so please put your name on
the sign up sheet and help out. You'll have fun! On October 18 at 2:00PM, it
is our turn to host the district meeting and dinner for our FOE District 12. We
also need some help with this. We want to have a good representation from our
Aerie and Auxiliary for this meeting and do ourselves proud, so please attend if
you are able. You'll get a nice meal out of it. Our snow birds will be flying
south soon, and I wish you all a safe and healthy winter. Lastly, I would like
to thank all of our members who helped to make the summer events such a
success. We couldn't make it happen without volunteers! We have a GREAT Aerie!
God Bless and Secord Smiles,

it running smoothly. We raised $90 from the can & bottle returns to donated to
