The Worthy Prez sez…. To all our members and their family and friends. Thank you for coming out to support the EVENTS we had this summer. But we all know summer is coming to an end. So let's look to a beautiful fall, because winter is just around the corner. So to all our snowbirds, be safe and have a good winter. We will see all of you when you get back. I would like to say THANK YOU to the members that chaired an event and all the volunteers that worked on them. This is what makes a great club. So keep checking the calendar for upcoming events. Bring your ideas in. Keep us doing great. To all have a great Thanksgiving!!! Take care-Be safe-God bless Paul White Worthy President 17-18

Aerie Chaplain Report Greetings from your Chaplain! As we know, prayers are always needed. Those that we especially need to remember are: Rick Nayback, his wife recently passed, Mike Kubick, as he is suffering from a rough bout with cancer, also, Frank Delecki, who is having open heart surgery at Beaumont hospital in Royal Oak, and also keep George Green and Frank Huggard in your prayers. Also, we need to keep our club in your prayers, as well as, all those who suffered and are suffering and will continue to as they rebuild throughout Texas, Florida and all places hit by the hurricanes. Peace, Roger, Aerie Chaplain

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL AUX-ILIARY MEMBERS! We are in need of a Vice-President. This office can only be filled by the normal nomination and, if necessary, election process. The Grand Auxil-iary requires all auxiliaries to fill their officer’s positions. Nominations for Vice-President will be held at our Saturday, October 14th meeting at 11 AM. Further information or questions; please call Madam Sec-retary, Kathie Hart, at 989-426-8872 or Madam President, Judy Downie, at 248-830-7298. We could truly use some new faces, or old, to assist with our Auxiliary. Judy Downie, Madam President, 17-18

The Incoming Madam Prez sez… Where did the summer go so fast! I’m still not ready for fall to arrive. Thank you members for attending the Pig Roast and Steak Fry. Hope everyone had a good time at Redneck Horse-shoes also. The district meeting which Secord

Lake hosted in August had many great com-ments about the good food. Thank you Kathy Halloran for all your help and getting a great kitchen crew to help and serve. Sorry to an-nounce the craft/vendor bazaar will be post-poned until spring due to a conflict schedule with the Mich. State/U of M game. The White Elephant Sale went well and a thank you goes out to Peggy Sawka and her volunteers for a great job. Due to the holidays please note our November and December 4th Saturday meeting dates have been changed. See the article regard-ing both Aerie and Auxiliary meeting changes due to the upcoming holidays. Soon we will be saying good bye to our snowbirds but we still have the Mich/Mich State party coming up and also the October Fest, October 21st and the Har-vest Dinner on November 15th – hunters wel-come! Please join us for fun and great friends. A little business - The Grand Auxiliary requires all Auxiliaries to fill their officers’ positions. Currently our vice presidents seat is still open and we need you! I’m sure you must be dying to find out more about how our club works and we could truly use some new faces. Please see the article for more information. Hope we still have some great Indian summer days left as we settle into darts, pool, and euchre. Judy Downie

Madam President 17-18

Auxiliary Chaplain Report I just got home from a three week vacation across country. We went through Illinois, Indi-ana, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. Then we stood in Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico, all four states at one time. The destina-tion wedding we attended was in Colorado. Lastly, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Upper Peninsula, and back home to our own beautiful Michigan. It was a whirl-wind of great times and beautiful country, but we are grateful to be home and starting our rou-tine of meetings and events at the Eagles with our Eagle friends. Gotta count our blessings. Sympathy cards were sent to Tammy Bobel and the family of Tina Paradiso. Linda Ronne, Auxiliary Chaplain

Presidents’ Charities This Year FYI – I’m not sure that all members are aware that the Aerie and Auxil-iary Presidents chose a charity of their choice. Here’s some info!! Please support them this year. Aerie Worthy President Charity – Sacred Heart Mission, Gladwin I have chosen Sacred Heart Mission as my charity. Sacred Heart Mis-sion supports needy citizens in our area. I am asking the membership for their support for this worthwhile organization. Please could you bring in non perishable items to the club? There is a shopping cart to put them in. Thank you!! Paul White, Worthy President 17-18 Auxiliary Madam President Charity – Big Boys of Gladwin County I have chosen the Big Boys of Gladwin County as my charity. The Big Boys works with agencies in Gladwin County to assist needy County citizens. How can you support? Family Fair supports charitable organi-zations by offering a donation of $1,000 to the charitable organization when they submit receipts that meet their rules. We are collecting any Family Fair grocery receipts – there’s a container on top of the knife display. Please support my charity by saving and bringing your re-ceipts. Thank You!!
