Well first off I would like to apologize for not having an article in the last newsletter. Thanks Tom for pointing that out to me. I hope that everyone had the best of holidays.

December and January were very good months. Thank you everyone who worked so hard. It is great to see all the staff and volunteers come together and do such a awesome job. Thanks again.

The District meeting was held in Grand Rapids this month and the meeting went well. Thanks to the Aerie for the great hospitality they gave to us. The next meeting will be held in Cloquet on April 6th at 1:00 pm, as always we hold an auction to benefit the District this is the only money we get. I would like to show the District that we all support it, so I am asking everyone of our Brothers and Sisters to help make this a big one, so please bring in one gift to be auctioned off, as this is people helping people! Thanks everyone.

The Twins Caravan came to the Aerie and the night was awesome and if you didn’t know all proceeds went out our local youth sports, so thank you everyone who came!

Super Bowl is February 3rd and everyone is encouraged to come on down and have a super fun time, as Sherry and Vance do a awesome job putting this together.

Let’s hope February is a little warmer. I almost froze my you know what off so far in January!

Your Worthy President, Fred Schrader
