Payment of dues after November 1, will include a reinstatement fee. Thanks for your support. Worthy John Bixler and Madam Sue Reddish From the President s Desk, I d like to take this opportunity to THANK everyone that volunteered during the last several months on our Aerie events. It is greatly appreciated and hope that you will continue to help and support your Aerie. Without your help these events would never exist. To clarify an issue, many members have asked why we ask for money and have you signed up in advance for Aerie events. The reason for that is so we can get a good head count as to how many are attending and to have the money available to buy the food and supplies needed. We also initiate a cut off date so as to have time to shop and prepare for the event. Thank you for your patience and understanding. My last comment is that we all have faced some challenges over this current year. We at the Eagles are no exception. With the sluggish economy, this has been a trying time. We need ALL of our members support in order to survive in these tough times. Stop in, say hi, and enjoy one of the BEST venues in Northeast Ohio. If you have a friend who is not a member, now is the time to sign them up. Members are what make this club, and the more the merrier. If you have any ideas for events at the club, please bring them to one of our Aerie meetings, or at least, tell one of the officers. Enjoy the rest of the summer.
