Dear Brothers and Sisters,<br />
WORTHY PRESIDENT NEWS<br />
As we have passed another year I would like to reflect on the many charities to which our membership has<br />
worked so hard to provide to our community. Such as feeding <strong>of</strong> our community with our potato drop, the<br />
various donations to local youth groups and other civic activities. I would also like to thank the Prevailing<br />
Winds Band conducted by Bob Fullerton for their Crusade For Toys concert. A big thank you to all <strong>of</strong> our<br />
Bar Keepers who have worked hard this year and a big thank you to Sally Harmon for all <strong>of</strong> her years <strong>of</strong><br />
service and thanks to all the members who volunteered in all <strong>of</strong> our events this year. We were privileged<br />
to have the Grand Worthy President Mike Lagervall Sr. visit us this year.<br />
Just a reminder we are still in the middle <strong>of</strong> a membership drive and we will be have a membership drive<br />
party on <strong>January</strong> 30th that the public is invited to. We encourage you to sign up new members so that we<br />
can reach our goal. Have a Happy New Year!<br />
Thank You,<br />
David Fritz Jr.<br />
Worthy President<br />

Madam Secretary Report<br />
I would like to start by welcoming our new and<br />
re-enrolled members, Shelly Bosch, Amber<br />
Meekh<strong>of</strong>, Gayle Mille, Mary Sandberg, Patricia<br />
Wessel,Patti Buurma, Mary Dykstra, Stephanie<br />
Harris, and Loretta McLaughlin.<br />
The Auxiliary Christmas Party was great. Once<br />
again the weather stopped some from attending<br />
but the ones that did had a great time and once<br />
again fantastic food. Thanks to all that helped on<br />
the Christmas Party for our kids. Special thanks<br />
to the Jr <strong>Eagles</strong> that helped. It was a great day.<br />
Seems hard to imagine that the new year is here<br />
already. I hope all had a great Holiday<br />
season. We are working real hard to get our<br />
Junior <strong>Order</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Eagles</strong> started. We have<br />
cancelled our meetings during the Holidays and<br />
will be having our next one on Sat Jan 9,<strong>2010</strong> at<br />
2:00. We will then get back on schedule with<br />
Jan 24 and Feb 7. Our membership is growing<br />
really fast in the Auxiliary and I look forward to<br />
seeing our new girls, and the not so new girls, at<br />
all <strong>of</strong> the upcoming events.<br />
Debbi DeYoung<br />
Madam Secretary<br />
At this writing, due to the illness <strong>of</strong> our Madam President and not having access to a<br />
computer, I will be updating you on the happenings <strong>of</strong> the Auxiliary.<br />
I hope that you all had a wonderful Holiday with your family and friends. It’s always nice<br />
spending this time <strong>of</strong> the year reflecting back on the past year, some good and some not so<br />
good. But, this is what makes us think how time goes by and that we should keep our entire<br />
families close at heart. We should also, as always, keep our men and woman <strong>of</strong> the military in<br />
our thoughts too.<br />
We will be initiating a new Trustee who will be replacing Marti Wilder. Cindy Bradtmueller will<br />
be accepting this appointed position. Our Madam President will be appointing two new<br />
trustees , when the new by-laws take effect. This position has a one year term.<br />
The Ladies Night was a success. The Ladies all seemed to be enjoying the show. We had a<br />
lot <strong>of</strong> fun playing the Drinko game, thanks to Brenda. Thanks to all who helped put this night<br />
on.<br />
The December 8th meeting was held as a round table meeting and then we went downstairs<br />
to the social hall to enjoy our Christmas potluck dinner. The dishes were all delicious. Due to<br />
the inclement weather, there were not many in attendance. The tables were decorated very<br />
festive thanks to Debbie.<br />
Upcoming events the Trustees are working on will be a Love Potion mix-<strong>of</strong>f the end <strong>of</strong><br />
February with local bars participating and we will be crowning a King and Queen for Mardi<br />
Gras.<br />
Wishing you all a healthy and happy New Year.<br />
