Schoolcraft, Mi Your Aerie Officers: President Bill De Young Vice President Bruce Stockwell Past Worthy President Terry Hutchins Secretary Mark Israels Treasurer Clyde Springer Chaplin Jeff Watkoske Conductor Rich Thompson Inside Guard Randy Dailey Outside Guard Steve Wightman John Holt Butch Weatherwax Steve Westra A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT: Thank You to all of the Aerie and Auxiliary officers. We had a very successful year. It takes everyone s help to keep this club running. Most have noticed the new siding on the building. We are looking at other improvements in the coming year. New siding up front, painting of the vestibules, and possibly a new privacy fence out back. This could not happen without our fundraisers, dinners, and special events. We are in the process of upgrading our cable and Wi-Fi. We have a blue-tooth stereo that can play music from any blue-tooth device. The Frank Sinatra dinner and a show was a great success and we hope to have some more events like this. If anyone wants to help plan a special event just see one of the officers. In these times we live in it takes a lot of new ideas to retain members and get them active in the club. I think we have a great start on this and would like to see the trend continue. Thank you all for a job well done last year, let s continue on this path. Fraternally yours, Bill De Young (Worthy President) Your Auxiliary Officers: President Karen Krajewski Vice President Lynn McCarty Past Madam President Goldie Israels Secretary Carol Davison Treasurer Judi Corwin Chaplin Pat Wooden Conductress Joyce Carnes Inside Guard Elaine Horton Outside Guard Mary Ellen De Young Joyce Hansen Carol Newbre Deb Bellingar ~ 1 ~
