DECEMBER 2017

Messages from our 2017-2018

Deer Valley #3871 Presidents

From: Worthy President Frank Ferris Brothers and Sisters

Well here we go, another year coming to an

end but before we cruise into 2018 let’s

reflect on all of our blessings. As a member

going into my 7th year and an officer going

into my 5th year we have seen many

transformations in our club, and as your

President I am pleased to say that with the

help of all of our officers, volunteers and

you, the members I can see a more positive

attitude these days than ever before and

trust that you do too.

We need to keep this momentum going

towards continued growth and prosperity for

all of us, our members, our families and our

friends. While sometimes we forget that

there is a lot going on behind the scenes we

also need to remember that what we do here

and what we have here is not just about you,

it’s about all of us!

I for one can admit that I am not perfect and

have sat and listened to many of you and

have taken suggestions to the floor where

changes have been and will continue to be

made for not only what we have today but

tomorrow and the future of our club as a

whole. Here is where I cannot stress enough

that attending even just one meeting per

month can make a world of difference and

an even better understanding to what your

obligations and privileges’ are as members

of OUR club.

With that said, let me say that I am honored

to be your President and feel truly blessed to

have all of you in my life where your support

and friendship means the world to me.

I wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a

Happy New Year. See you in 2018!

Sisters: I would like to start out wishing each one of

our members and their families a Joyous

Holiday Season!

There is a box on the front display case for

Holiday cards you wish to give to your Eagle

friends to brighten their Holiday Season.

Look for your cards when you come in.

The Pure Heart Toy Drive will be ending

December 10th so if you wish to bring in new

toys or donations, time is running out. I

would like to especially thank Roe and

Jimmy for letting us know about this great

program and their hard work on the delicious

meals and fundraising they provided for

support.

We will have our Children’s Holiday Party

December 16th from Noon to 2pm. Please

make sure we have your child’s

(grandchild’s, niece’s, nephew’s) name on

our list or Santa won’t know to bring their

gift. Come early and pick up some

homemade goodies at the Annual Bake Sale

starting at 10am. If you love to bake, please

bring in your donations wrapped for sale

either Friday evening or between 9am and

the start of the sale.

Our Adult Christmas Party will be on

December 23rd. Please join us to relax and

have some fun, enjoy the entertainment and

celebrate with your Eagle family!

An update on October’s Alzheimer fund,

Corinne and Ken received a $5000 grant

added to the $4,180 raised throughout the

month for a grand total of $9,180!!!!

Awesome job.

The Auxiliary would like to thank Bob for his

generous donation of the walleye and catfish

on November 17th Fish Fry. His donation

will go towards the Children’s Christmas

Party gifts as requested. What a selfless

thought, it is what the Eagles are all about.

We raised over $330 to add to the fund.

Thank Bob for the donation and thanks to all

who advertised this event, and Pam and

Linda for their hard work in the kitchen.

Looking back on 2017 it’s great to see all

that our Auxiliary has done to bring in new

members, we also want to bring back those

that may not have been here for a while. If

you talk to someone who hasn’t come in, tell

them we miss them and invite them back.

Our New Year’s Eve Party tickets will be on

sale soon, $35 per person, Sierra Outlaws

will be the entertainment, food and party

favors to bring in 2018. See you there!!

Please check with the bartenders for your

tickets.

Please share with me a wish for the New

Year that we all give out what we wish to

receive in return. May our love and

acceptance of others be mirrored to all of us

in every moment.

Be safe!

TOUCH OF HUMOR

A man was lying on the grass and looking up

at the sky; as he watched the clouds drift by,

he asked, “God, how long is a million

years?”

God answered, “To Me, a million years is as

a minute.”

The man asked, “God, how much is a million

dollars?”

God answered, “To Me a million dollars is as

a penny.”

The man then asked, “God, can I have a

penny?”

God answered, “In a minute.”

A Touch of Life

A nurse on the pediatrics ward, before

listening to the children’s chest, would fit the

stethoscope into their ears and let them

listen to their own hearts. Their eyes would

always light up with awe.

“Listen,” she said to little four-year-old Seth,

“Do you hear it? What do you suppose that

is?” He listened to the strange tap-tap-

tapping deep in his chest. Then his eyes lit

up, and he exclaimed, “Is that Jesus

knocking?”

Computer salesperson: “This computer will

do half your work for you.”

Customer: “Then I’ll take two!”

What did the big hand on the clock say to

the little hand?

“I’ll be around in an hour.”

Deer Valley Eagle Rider’s – August Newsletter No news from the Eagle Riders this month.

Reminder ................ Every Sunday breakfast 9-11 am. Eagle Riders meeting 1st Monday of each month. King of Hearts on Thursday nights. Don't forget to check and see if you have the Lucky number of the day when you come in, on the board at the end of the bar by the video game machine. There are many specials if you happen to have the Lucky number of the day. To ALL Members

It is with a heartfelt thank you for all of you that helped us raise money for Alzheimer’s. By opening

your hearts and wallets, we raised over $9,000.00 the month of October for this very worthy cause.

Ken and I also would like to give thanks for your patience with our grandchildren and allowing them

to participate and feel they were making a difference.

This does bring up another issue. We noticed as we were at the club so often that there isn’t really

anything to do for children in our “family club.” This being said, Ken and I will continue to raise

money for the next year to improve the grounds and give our children something to do. Our idea is to

buy a quonset hut that will be filled with video games, pinball machines, pool table, etc. for the

children to use. We will also lower the basketball hoops on the basketball court, so it is usable for the

children. This plan is just for the first year and are hopeful to continue receiving your support.

Ken will continue making breakfast and lunch Monday through Fridays; meat raffles, Thursday night

dinners and any other opportunity we have to cook and raise money. We will officially start the month

of December so watch for the menu ‘s along the bar and tables.

Thank you again,

Ken, Corinne, Jason & Jarynn

Special Thanks Have you noticed the new American Flag and Arizona Flag, it looks wonderful every time we drive

into the parking lot or past the club to see them waving in the wind is beautiful.

Don’t be part of the problem

Be part of the solution
