MARCH 14th Potato Chips are America s #1 snack food!! AERIE NOMINATIONS The Aerie will be accepting nominations for officers on April 4, 2018 @ 7 pm, which is our regularly scheduled meeting. Please consider running for office. Positions don't come with a training manual (it's on the job training), hours vary, feedback from members can be complimentary or critical, and at times you might feel like throwing in the towel! But there will also be times when you'll feel a sense of gratitude or pride because you played a role in helping the club succeed. We need officers in order to continue as a club. We also need the new ideas, enthusiasm and energy new officers bring to their positions. It's just a one year commitment for most positions, and in some cases, the officer is only required to attend regular and special meetings. We also like to see our officers attend as many events as possible and make their presence known around the club, which many of you already do, so why not step up and run for office? If you're willing to run, come to the meeting on April 4 @ 7 pm. If you can't be at the meeting but are willing to be nominated, please submit a letter to Aerie Secretary Jeff Gueli before the meeting indicating your willingness to be nominated for the position you're interested in. Voting will take place on May 2, 2018. Please feel free to drop by the Aerie and talk to any officer if you have questions.
