FROM THE PRESIDENT
Brothers and Sisters, if you missed our New Years Eve dinner and dance you missed a great one. Our first ever sit down dinner was a big success, the meal was to die for. The band was a big hit, I went in the next day to see if we still had a dance floor left Everyone had a great time. we are going to do the same thing next New Years Eve, so mark your calendar and do not miss this one. A big thanks goes out to Nancy and everyone that helped out. Also a thank you goes out to B.H.S. Band members that served us, great job.
Our month went very well, even with all the snow and cold days. We even had to cancel a Friday night dinner because of it. Hope everyone had a safe one and stayed warm. Lets hope we can leave all of it behind us.
On Sunday the 18th there was benefit held in the hall for a seven year old boy with cancer. Their were a lot of people that came in to support him and his family.
A thanks to everyone who helped out. The kitchen crew got a big work out in serving almost a 1,000 meals. That is People helping People that is what the Eagles is all about. THANKS!
On March 8th we are going to have a benefit for the Fisher House which is a home away from home for vets families to stay while the vet is in the hospital. It does not cast anything for them to stay. They are in need of funds, personal items, and kids toys for the little ones to play with. So lets have a big turnout for this one. It is the Madam President’s and my charity for this year. Thanks everyone.
On Jan. 25th the Dist. 1 meeting was held in Grand Rapids. Good time was had by all. Thank You all at Grand Rapids for hosting the meeting.
Well everyone thanks for letting Me take up a little bit of you time. Be safe and well.
