Return Service Requested<br />

Nebraska State Auxiliary<br />

Editor: Cris Henry Number 8, Volume XLIXIIII February 2012<br />

I want to start this letter with an apology to the Wayne Auxiliary for the blip in last month’s<br />

newsletter. The whole paragraph was dropped about my visit to Wayne. Here is that paragraph.<br />

The 10th <strong>of</strong> December found Patty, Barb and I in Wayne for their Christmas party.<br />

There was pot luck, desserts, Santa Claus and so much fun. This is for the whole family.<br />

You can sit on Santa's lap and have your picture taken. Individual pictures as well as family<br />

pictures were taken that evening. The children had so much fun watching and waiting for<br />

Santa to arrive. Thank you Cec and Wayne Auxiliary for a fun evening! The 11th was the<br />

institution <strong>of</strong> the new Aerie in Grand Island. I was unable to attend. Congratulations to the<br />

Heartland Aerie. We are looking forward to instituting the new Auxiliary in the near future.<br />

On December 21st I attended Lincoln #147's meeting and Christmas party. What fun I<br />

had. I have received some very unique lady bug things, but these were special. Lady bug<br />

masks that glow in the dark, and the cutest yellow planter with lady bugs. The food was outstanding<br />

as well as the fraternalism.<br />

December 27th was my visit to the West Point Auxiliary meeting and belated Christmas<br />

party. Patty W, Rhonda M and Barb W met me there and what fun we had. We played<br />

bingo and I had more than one BINGO. The Auxiliary furnished some yummy snacks for us<br />

all. I am so PROUD <strong>of</strong> the West Point Auxiliary. They are doing well and contribute a lot to<br />

their community and the Charities.<br />

WOW our new year started with such beautiful weather we almost forgot that it was<br />

January. January 7th Norfolk #3611 had a benefit for one <strong>of</strong> our Jr. <strong>Eagles</strong> who was in a<br />

rollover accident on the way to school. He sustained severely broken leg and several other<br />

internal injuries.<br />

February 12th Patty W and I traveled to Grand Island for another organizational meeting<br />

for the new Heartland Auxiliary. They have all their members and <strong>of</strong>ficers. Thank you to all<br />

the ladies that have worked so hard so this will happen.<br />

January 14 was the Casual Learning Day at #154. Janis Thomas did an outstanding job <strong>of</strong><br />

organization and the workshops were very informative. There was also some training on the<br />

MMS system done by Rhonda Matsen. President Elect Bill Primrose and Anita Bishop collected<br />

$55.00 for MMI in their workshop. Thank you both for a job well done. That evening<br />

Kelly and I met at Papillion/Southwest for pork chop dinner, desserts, fund raising, lots <strong>of</strong> picture<br />

taking, an awful lot <strong>of</strong> fun and I even danced a little before we left. They raised $600<br />

that evening for MMI and I can't forget the $75.00 check from the Auxiliary for MMI. Thank<br />

you Southwest.<br />

Tuesday, January 17th was my visit to <strong>Bellevue</strong>'s Auxiliary meeting and potluck. The<br />

evening was very nice and the <strong>Bellevue</strong> women are very generous and boy do they have<br />

fun. Thank you for the $500 donation to MMI and my ladybug music box is very special. I<br />

will treasure it forever.<br />

The Nebraska Aerie and Auxiliary Officers met on the 21st in Kearney for our board meeting<br />

and on that evening I went to York for their Wild Game Feed as Kelly and my <strong>of</strong>ficial visit.<br />

Due to some unfortunate events there was not a bus trip to Minnesota to gamble on the<br />

27th. Thank you to those that signed up. I am sure there will be another opportunity in the<br />

future.<br />

I have had some questions about who to contact if they wish to visit MMI. Our contact is<br />

through the University <strong>of</strong> Nebraska Foundation and her name is Melonie Welsh. Her phone<br />

number is 402-502-4117 and e-mail address is mwelsh@nufoundation.org. She is very helpful<br />

and I know she will be glad to help anyone that calls her.<br />

February becomes increasingly busy. February 11th Fremont will be celebrating their 110th<br />

Anniversary, February 17th Kelly and I visit Central City, February 18th is my day in Norfolk<br />

and on February 25th we are hoping to institute the new Heartland Auxiliary #4539. March,<br />

April and May are now completely filled with visits.<br />

If I have not made a visit to your Auxiliary, please call and I will find a date to come visit.<br />

You can always leave a message on my home phone <strong>of</strong> 402-371-6425; my cell is 402-841-<br />

8713 or send an e-mail to bsueonlogan@hotmail.com.<br />

Until next month remember "They say it takes a minute to find a special person an hour to<br />

appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.<br />

DRC Matching Campaign Exceeds Goal<br />

Throughout November and December, donations to The<br />

<strong>Fraternal</strong> <strong>Order</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Eagles</strong> Diabetes Research Center were to<br />

be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $55,000 thanks to the<br />

generosity <strong>of</strong> an anonymous donor.<br />

In that time, <strong>Eagles</strong> around the United States and Canada<br />

rallied to raise $264,312.72 for the cause in addition to the<br />

$55,000 matched donation for a total <strong>of</strong> $319,312.72. This<br />

tremendous effort exceeds last year's total <strong>of</strong> $166,750.32.<br />

Many <strong>of</strong> you went above and beyond the call <strong>of</strong> duty to help<br />

exemplify the spirit <strong>of</strong> "People Helping People." For that, we<br />

cannot thank you enough.<br />

Munroe-Meyer Institute (MMI) - Autism<br />

Page 3<br />

Meet Trinity and Roy. Omaha experts are breaking<br />

through the barriers <strong>of</strong> autism. They're finding, in<br />

some cases, if autism is detected early enough in<br />

life, there are more opportunities to improve how a<br />

child connects with the world. Both <strong>of</strong> Brooke's<br />

children have autism, and even though siblings<br />

have very different personalities, they share the<br />

same challenge. Trinity showed signs <strong>of</strong> the brain<br />

disorder at age two. "I didn't know if we were ever<br />

going to talk," Brooke said. Trinity stopped eating,<br />

wouldn't allow touching and couldn't play. So she<br />

started therapy at the University <strong>of</strong> Nebraska<br />

Medical Center's Munroe-Meyer Institute. "If we can<br />

get in there while the brain is still forming synapses<br />

in the early stages, we have the best chances <strong>of</strong><br />

helping these kids," said Dr. Lois Starr, pediatrician<br />

and genetics expert at UNMC. Roy is in the early<br />

stages <strong>of</strong> therapy, and 5-year old Trinity is completely<br />

caught up milestone-wise, reading at a secondgrade<br />

level. Both doctors and parents <strong>of</strong> autistic<br />

children said it's important to talk with a pediatrician<br />

if your child is not meeting developmental milestones.<br />

Caring for children with autism is more<br />

than just a job to the staff at Munroe-Meyer. The<br />

team <strong>of</strong> experts is committed to unlocking the full<br />

potential <strong>of</strong> each child.<br />

For more information on MMI and the programs they<br />

<strong>of</strong>fer visit their website at unmc.edu/mmi.<br />

Cash Bash this year will be May 5, 2012, at<br />

Omaha 38. Once again we will be giving away $500<br />

every 30 minutes for a total <strong>of</strong> $5,000!!! Tickets will<br />

be $15.00 each or 2 for $25.00 and will be going out<br />

to all the Aeries and Auxiliaries soon, so watch your<br />

Meyer Institute. We are also still selling chances on<br />

the first laptop, $5.00 each or 6 for $25.00. Please<br />

feel free to give me a call or send me an e-mail if you<br />

MINK Eagle Sisters:<br />

This is my annual plea for your help and participation in this year's MINK Ritual Competition! Last year's response was<br />

overwhelming and much appreciated for all your assistance and cooperation. The MINK Conference will be held on April 13, 14,<br />

and 15 th. Again the Ritual Competition will be held on Friday, the 13 th. This will enable the participants and judges to attend the<br />

Conference meetings on the next 2 days.<br />

Some changes in the judging will be implemented, as there were some "oops" last year. Still open to suggestions to improve our<br />

efficiency; will listen to all helpful hints.<br />

5 or 6 judges are needed from each State, that way no one has to stay all the time and breaks can be <strong>of</strong>fered. Send your name,<br />

state, phone number, email address, include the time or approximate time for your arrival to St Joe, which is definitely important for<br />

scheduling. Let me know if you prefer to judge or work on the Master Books. Be sure to get your information to me before March<br />

15 th. If you have already given me your name at some time, please, email or send your complete info to my address or email listed<br />

below.<br />

March 15 th is also the deadline for all Ritual Teams and Shotgun competitors to send their Registration form and money to me.<br />

Note: All Ritual Participants need to be registered for the Conference, according to the MINK By-laws.<br />

and information going on with MINK and the upcoming Conference.<br />

its presentation. God bless You!<br />

You have three boxes <strong>of</strong> fruit. One contains just apples, one<br />

contains just oranges, and one contains a mixture <strong>of</strong> both.<br />

Each box is labeled -- one says "apples," one says "oranges,"<br />

and one says "apples and oranges." However, it is known that<br />

none <strong>of</strong> the boxes are labeled correctly. How can you label the<br />

boxes correctly if you are only allowed to look at only one<br />

piece <strong>of</strong> fruit out <strong>of</strong> just one <strong>of</strong> the boxes?<br />

Joining Made Simple<br />

The Grand Aerie Membership Department has created a new tool on our<br />

website to increase membership at local Aeries and Auxiliaries. Non-members<br />

who visit foe.com can now click on the "Become A Member" tab and<br />

fill out a brief form. Once submitted, the form is sent to the Membership<br />

Department where Grand Aerie staff will contact prospective members to<br />

help answer any questions they have regarding the F.O.E. and help them<br />

get in contact with an Aerie or Auxiliary in their community.<br />

Many have already taken advantage <strong>of</strong> this new service and we encourage<br />

current members to reach out to family, friends, neighbors and co-workers<br />

with this quick, simple method in taking the first step toward joining the<br />

<strong>Eagles</strong>.<br />

ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE BLUE<br />

HAVE YOU SIG<strong>NE</strong>D UP A SISTER OR TWO??<br />

Happy Valentine’s Day Sisters,<br />

As many shades <strong>of</strong> reds there are out there, so is true <strong>of</strong> love. Love <strong>of</strong> family, <strong>of</strong> friends<br />

a beloved pet, love <strong>of</strong> God, love for mankind, and all that is created. We all need companionship<br />

and friendship, to flourish. Remember what it feels like to get a big warm fuzzy hug, to put a smile<br />

on the face, and feel alive and rejuvenated??<br />

This sisters is what our Auxiliary needs, a big warm fuzzy hug and rejuvenation!!! Whether<br />

it is a re-blooming sister or a new bloom in the bouquet <strong>of</strong> our Auxiliary; we all need to work<br />

together to achieve this goal. Take a moment to reflect, to think <strong>of</strong> all the wonderful women you<br />

know and how they have made a positive impact in your life. Are they members? Have you invited<br />

them to your Club to participate in an event, or to become a fellow sister? Better yet, think <strong>of</strong><br />

the positive impact that you can make on a new member by sharing the Eagle opportunity.<br />

We only have a few more months nd I know we can do it. I challenge you to fill your<br />

bouquets, and share the hugs; but most <strong>of</strong> all I look forward to seeing who has signed up those<br />

members and the opportunity to meet them. Sending all my sisters a big, warm, fuzzy hug, and<br />

hope to see you all down the Eagle trail soon.<br />
