WORTHY PRESIDENT NEWS<br />
Dear Brothers and Sisters,<br />
We have enjoyed the mildest winter ever. Your Aerie is ready to bring on<br />
spring and summer. We have a lot <strong>of</strong> entertainment scheduled for the upcoming<br />
months. Look for April 14th for our new and revamped 20/20 dinner. This<br />
is unlike any 20/20 we have ever done. We also have a knock out comedy<br />
night coming up on April 28th. Keep an eye on the calendar and come down<br />
and enjoy your Aerie. Also, we are selling our cash bash tickets. Get them at<br />
the bar or see an <strong>of</strong>ficer. The tickets are $10.00 and ALL proceeds go to the<br />
University <strong>of</strong> Iowa<br />
<strong>Eagles</strong> Research<br />
Center, a great<br />
cause for the cure <strong>of</strong><br />
diabetes. Don't forget<br />
that it is your<br />
obligation to sign up<br />
at least one new<br />
member a year.<br />
Thank You<br />

Madam Secretary<br />
I would like to start by welcoming our new and re-enrolled members -<br />
Ellen Fritz, Sue Foose, Karen Keast, Faith Biros, Linda Dimitr<strong>of</strong>f, Dawn<br />
Lundy, Jolie Behmlander, Pam Kamphuis, Angela Halverson, Donna<br />
Schmidt, Ann Williams, Tammy Wentzl<strong>of</strong>f, Patricia Brems, Betty Bosse,<br />
Patricia Olson, Emily Casemier, Beth Katt, Lark Miller, Ammie Tuttle and<br />
Kim Habian. Glad to have all <strong>of</strong> our new sisters aboard. The last<br />
meeting in April is nomination <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficers for next year. If you are<br />
interested in running for an <strong>of</strong>fice, please contact Rita Cherry or myself<br />
and will see that your name is turned into the nominating<br />
committee. We will not know until that meeting if there will be a need for<br />
an election or not, therefore, if we do need to have an election, I will put<br />
up notices at the club and will post on the Auxiliary Facebook page. If<br />
you want, you can always call me after the April meeting. Our children’s<br />
Easter Party will be held on April 14, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. until 11:30<br />
a.m. If your children are 12 years old or younger, bring them down. We<br />
have convinced the Easter Bunny to come back to town for that time<br />
period and he is really anxious to see all the boys and girls. Sign-up<br />
sheets are up at the club. If you are willing to donate any candy or such<br />
for the party, there is a box at the club for that purpose. I will also be<br />
contacting some <strong>of</strong> you to help on the Safety Patrol dinner on May 9,<br />
2012. Please keep that date in mind. As I am writing this, we are having<br />
70 degree weather in March – go figure. Happy Easter and Happy Spring<br />
to all.<br />
Debbi DeYoung,<br />
Madam Secretary<br />
Spring has arrived and so has riding season. March was<br />
another productive month for the riders. We welcomed<br />
another new member, Sandy Way. We had our best fish<br />
fry <strong>of</strong> the season and another successful meat raffle on<br />
the 9th.The March <strong>of</strong> Dimes Bikes for Babies event was a<br />
great success. We had a breakfast in the morning and<br />
several raffles throughout the day. The Auxiliary put on a<br />
dinner in the afternoon and the Aerie held comedy night.<br />
It was a busy day at the 925.Next on our agenda is the<br />
Sandy Corley Kick-<strong>of</strong>f Bash dinner on April 21st .<br />
Doors open at 6pm. Tickets are $25 per person and are<br />
available only at the door. The riders will be preparing<br />
the dinner with the help <strong>of</strong> Frank Stanitzek. We will also<br />
be having a breakfast that morning from 8-11am.<br />
Nomination sheets have been posted on our board. We<br />
have several positions open.<br />
Our April meeting has been moved to Sunday the 15th at<br />
1:30 pm instead <strong>of</strong> on Easter Sunday so that we may all<br />
be with our families…maybe even get in a ride!<br />
