From the Presidents Desk

Fellow Eagles,

This month we celebrate Easter, and I wish all to have a Happy, and Safe Easter. There is an sign-up sheet for anyone wanting to run for any office in the upcoming elections. We voted to increase the pay for a Kitchen Manager to help attract a qualified person. I want to thank Donna Rae for the Great job she is doing keeping the Kitchen open, and everyone happy! Be sure and let her know.

Yearly members, be sure and renew your member-ship.

See you in the Club, Your Friend, Russ Schmidt Worthy President

Please remember that we are:

“People Helping People”

It would be greatly appreciated for everyone to par-

ticipate in the events that we plan. Without your

participation we cannot continue holding events.

We know that it is easy to sometime forget the

reason that Eagles exist, and just enjoy socializ-

ing, and playing games.

Buying/Selling 50/50, and other tickets are an

important way of raising funds for our various

charities. We could use volunteers, even a day or

two per month would relieve those who always

step up, and get “burned out”” or discouraged.

All members are always welcome to attend the

Monthy meetings: 2nd and 4th Wednesday of

each month at 7 PM (see the Calendar for changes).

Free snacks for those who attned the meetings,

supplied by our officers, after the meeting.

Please check the calendar, Website, or Bulletin

Board for events ,and any changes.

Check-Out our website @: eaglesaerie4273.com

The proposed By-Law change to increase the pay for the Kitchen Manager passed

with a positive vote in the March 22nd meeting. It allows a base salary of $750 per

Month, with the potential of a 5-20% of the Net kitchen income bonus, with a max

set at $1200. It is hoped that this will help attract a manager with experience, allowing

acceptable pay during the slower months.
