The Worthy Prez sez….
Welcome to Fall at Secord Lake. A lot of us will start putting boats away, and
some will head south for the winter, whatever your task please be safe. Many
thanks to Dave and his crew for a very successful Vegas Night. October 3rd is
the last Country Breakfast, thanks to Butch and the morning Crew for their work
all summer. There are many activities planned for the following months. The best
way to stay updated is to check the web page and the web calendar. Just a
reminder the deadline for articles for the newsletter is the 15th of the month,
there is a folder in the hallway near the Secretaries offices. Also the Trustees
have moved their meetings to the Thursday prior to the regular Men’s meeting at
9:00 AM. Remember, the Madam President and I have chosen the Sacred Heart
Mission in Gladwin for our Presidents Charity and there is a donation basket in
the hallway between the Bingo Hall and the Social Room for donations of goods.
See you at the meetings.
Fraternally,
Worthy President

Another Steak Cook-Out Success
Thanks to everyone who came out for the Labor Day Steak Cook-Out and also to
those who purchased steaks and corn on the cob afterwards. It was a successful
event for the Auxiliary and fortunately the weather was decent. A very special
thanks to all of the workers (just too many to name!) - as always, I couldn’t
have done it without you!!
Thanks Again

25th Anniversary Party Huge Success
The 25th Anniversary Committee, Mike Pigula, Curt Wingate, Sandy Brunett, Cathy
and Russ Norton, Kathie Hart, Larry Santamour and Linda Girlish would like to
thank all the volunteers for their hard work in making our 25th anniversary
celebration a huge success!! A special thanks to the Michigan State Aerie and
Auxiliary Officers who ran the ritual honoring our charter and Past Presidents.
The food was absolutely fabulous and the band was truly appreciated by the
crowd. Thanks again for all the helpers—our success was due to the extraordinary
efforts of all involved.
The 25th Anniversary Committee
Trustees Corner
Recently we communicated in the Trustees corner about saving seats at the bar.
We have had some conflicts from some of the members about what the statement
means. Our intention was to allow each and every member to have an opportunity
to set at the bar.
Please use some common sense, if you are going to spend time away from the bar
playing games or leaving for a while you should give up your seat. Let’s be
courteous to our fellow members.
Thank you B.O. T.
Kids Haunted Eagle Party

The Madam Prez sez…
Hello Eagle Friends,
As another month escapes us, we have a lot of fun memories to hang on to. Our
25th Anniversary Party was absolutely amazing! The committee did such a
beautiful job recognizing our charter members, past Presidents, and State and
National officers who joined us for this milestone celebration. The food was
great, the band was awesome, and our boat ride with our VIP's - not so cold this
time! If you missed it, you definitely missed out! Vegas night kicked my butt
serving drinks, and the event was well attended. Thanks Dave Huggard and all of
his workers (Oh... and all you gamblers too!) The annual Labor Day Steak
Cookout was delicious, thanks to Carol Nowak and all of her volunteers! Well,
this month brings us our 3rd annual Polish Dinner Fest on Saturday, October 2,
2010, and we've expanded our horizons with live Polish music this year! Should
be great fun! If you are willing to help pull off this big event, please see
Mary Grayson or Sharon Pomerville. On Saturday, October 9, 2010, we will once
again cheer on U of M, and MICHIGAN STATE (go green!), at one of our biggest
parties of the year, so save the date! Hopefully there will be a Halloween
Party this year - any volunteers? Don't forget to check the online edition of
"secordlakeeagles.com" for any updates and changes, They do happen
frequently. Until next month - Our Aerie is a GREAT Aerie!
God Bless and Secord Smiles,
Barbie Jozefowicz
Madam President

discontinue mailing them a physical copy. This notice will come from

Thursday Bingo
We are very sorry to announce that Thursday bingo will have it's final night, on
Thursday, September 16, 2010. After 17 years of hosting Thursday night bingo,
attendance has gotten so low, that it is impossible to continue, without losing
money. We want to thank all of the people who have supported our efforts
throughout the years, and remind you that WEDNESDAY NIGHT BINGO WILL CONTINUE
all year long, with crazy Al calling all of your favorite numbers! See you on
Wednesday!
Al & Phyllis Faust - Chairpersons
***** We need input!!!
If any of our Eagles have any ideas for something fun to do on Thursday nights,
please call Phyllis Faust at home 989-345-0367, or drop a line at the club 3485

Harvest Dinner
It's getting to be that time of year again. Our annual Harvest Dinner will be
held as always on November 15th (it's a Monday this year), from 5:00 - 9:00PM.
We will also be holding a bake sale that day, and a 50/50 raffle. This is the
first function I have chaired and it's a big one, so I hope that everything goes
well. I'll need lots of donations and volunteers for this to be a great
success. Please watch for sign-up sheets on the bulletin board. This dinner
is open to the public, so tell your friends! If you need any more information
please contact Melinda Taylor at 989 632-2138. Thanks again and hope to see
