FROM THE AERIE PRESIDENT: GREG HALL Fall is upon us and with it the Holiday season. A time to reflect on the past year and to show thanks for all that we have. I am thankful for our Aerie home and each and every member of Aerie 4530. I am thankful for the support that our Aerie shows to our charities, District, State and Grand. I am thankful for our Auxiliary, Eagle Riders, Aerie and Auxiliary Officers, Bartenders and our many volunteers. We have several events coming up in the next few months so please watch the Aerie calendar for them and come on in for the fun. We will be finalizing some of them at the Joint meeting on October 29 th. I know that we are planning our annual Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners as well as New Year s Eve party. We are in need of committee members for all of these. If any of you have just a little time, please let one of the Aerie or Auxiliary Officers know we would be honored to have your help. In close I want to announce that we will be honoring and showing thanks to our Veterans on November 11 th. Without them we would not be enjoying the freedom to have an Aerie or to celebrate the Holidays that we do. I want to wish all of you and yours a very happy and safe Thanksgiving and say thank you to all of you once again.
CEILING TILES The Aerie is now selling ceiling tiles to members for $10.00 each. Each member can put their own message on these tiles. You can put your name or in memory of a loved one, for example.

Please let me know if you know of any members who are sick so that we can send our good wishes for a speedy recovery. If you hear of a member who has passed away then please share that with me also. Freida Harmon (904) 772-4335 When stopping by the Aerie to enjoy the company of your Eagle Family, please check out the bulletin board at the Aerie with "News from Sunshine Lady", which includes birthdays of the month and the "Under The Weather Report". Is your mailing address, email address and telephone number up to date? If you are not sure then write it down and drop it in the Secretaries box and it will be verified. If you are not receiving a newsletter by email, then you can bet that the Aerie or Auxiliary Secretary doesn t have a valid email address on file. WOULD YOU LIKE A FREE DINNER? Pay your dues early and become an early bird in which you will be eligible for a free dinner sometime in January or February. Early Birds are Aerie and Auxiliary members who have paid their dues on or before December 31, 2013.
You have probably noticed some of the Aerie members wearing a Polo or T-shirt with the Aerie logo and Black Creek Eagles #4530 on them and they look good. You may now purchase them from the bartender, if available. If your size is not available let the Trustees know what you need for the next order. The Polo shirts are $20.00 each and the T-Shirts are $14.00. They come in Black, Blue or Red or if you prefer another color that can be done. Any size is okay. Once we have a minimum order of twelve (12) we will order them. Come look in the display case at the Aerie for other merchandise also. WOODEN EAGLES You may have noticed the wooden Eagles on the wall at the Aerie. One of our Members, Larry Giggey, is making these Eagles for the Aerie at no charge to the Aerie. The Eagles are being sold for $10.00 each. The money goes to our Building fund. Please consider buying an Eagle, not only to support the Aerie but also to show Larry that we do appreciate his time and effort. SUPPORT YOUR AERIE PLEASE!

The committee members are Jerry Ward, Paul Halvorsen, and Ken Kohnen. CURRENT: No person under the age of 18 years of age will be allowed in the Bar area after 9:00 PM. All persons under the age of 18 will be restricted to the activities room area. Family functions that run late are the exception. No person under the age of 18 years of age will be allowed in the Aerie, Social, or meeting rooms or the outside premises of the Aerie after 9:00 PM. Family functions, as approved by the Board of Trustees, that run late are the exception. Purpose: To allow the strictest control of children in the Aerie after 9:00 pm.

In special circumstances checks may be written for more than $60.00 or more than one check remitted upon approval by at least two (2) Trustees. All checks will have the member s driver s license number, state of issue, and birth date wrote on the front of the check. A member who has a check returned or that the bank does not deposit due to non-sufficient funds, must reimburse the Aerie the amount of the check plus the bank charge, if any. Upon the first offense - the member will receive a letter of warning. Second offense - the member will lose check cashing privileges for thirty (30) days.

In special circumstances checks may be written for more than $60.00 or more than one check remitted upon approval by at least two (2) Trustees.

Statue 63.2(f) states The fact that an individual repetitively writes checks that are returned for non-sufficient funds is a clear case of fraud. The Fraternal Order of Eagles is not a financial institution and they should not be giving loans. If the member can show the Board of Trustees proof that the NSF was of no fault of the members, the Board may waive the disciplinary action. Purpose: To remove check cashing privileges for life, to access an automatic $25.00 fee for checks returned for non-sufficient funds whether they bounce or not, and to emphasize to the membership that fraud charges may be brought against repeated offenders. ADD: No food or beverages may be brought in the Aerie, Social, or meeting rooms or the outside premises of the Aerie on scheduled meals day unless specifically approved by Trustees (i.e. cake, parties, etc.). Purpose: The Aerie and Auxiliary use proceeds for meals for various charitable purposes and work hard to prepare meals. Members should not be bringing in their own food which makes the meals counter- productive. CURRENT: No outside purchased alcoholic beverage(s) are to be brought into the building, picnic area, or out building. No outside purchased alcoholic beverage(s) are to be brought into the Aerie, Social, or meeting rooms or the outside premises of the Aerie. Purpose: To clarify the premises.
CURRENT: Any visiting (Aerie/Auxiliary) member from an Aerie other than Aerie 4530, shall pay for the first beverage, and be entitled to a second beverage free of charge. Any visiting Aerie or Auxiliary member from an Aerie, other than Aerie 4530, that is over 75 miles away, shall pay for the first beverage, and be entitled to a second beverage free of charge. All visitors that meet this requirement must be signed into the guest log. Purpose: To make sure there is a specific mileage requirement for providing a free drink. This distance should take us outside the District boundaries.
