Madam President’s Report

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

I’d like to start by thanking Sue Delongchamp, Barb Tomlinson and everyone who helped with the kid's campout. It was a fun time for everyone, and a great way to show that we are a family-oriented club.

We have a lot of activities going on or planned, and new people are stepping up to share ideas and help. This really pleases me. We also have many volunteers sacrificing their time and talents to help out where needed. Some of our activities are new and haven’t been done before, but we're trying to keep up with the times, so please be patient and understanding.

With the holidays coming up, I want to remind eve-ryone that we feed the seniors a Thanksgiving din-ner at our club. We also adopt-a-family for Christ-mas. I understand the holidays are busy for all of

us, but even the littlest things you can do to contribute will help out. We will need help preparing food, donating food or gifts, wrapping presents, etc. Your ideas are also appreciated.

Finally, with Thanksgiving around the cor-ner, I would like to say that I am very grateful that you’ve allowed me to be part

of our Eagle family, and I wish everyone a healthy and happy holiday season.

God Bless, Madam President Lisa Ochalek

Fellow Eagles, Well October was another busy month for us. We had three big events. There was Autumfest hosted by Jim Wagner, There was the Fisher House of Michigan Fundraiser which raised a large donation for our charity. This was a huge success do to all the hard of lots of volunteers who donated lots of their time, especially the two ladies who managed and ran the auction and raffles. They have my sincere gratitude and thanks. These ladies always come through for me and my fundraisers each year. Thank you Diane Moore and Kathy Smith, you ladies are AWESOME. I would also like to thank the Eagle Riders for their generous donation of $700.00 to the Fisher House of Michigan. I want to also thank all those who attended and participated in our raffles and silent

auction, they are the ones who made this event a success. We also had our annual Halloween party which

was also a huge bundle of fun. We are coming up to the Christmas sea-son. We will be getting another family to sponsor for Christmas. Keep your eyes open on Face book for more details as they become available. Also remember all our members who are ill and keep them in your prayers this holi-day season.

Fraternally Yours, John Watkins Worthy President

EAGLE RIDERS 3996 NEWS

Hello to all, Thanks to those who showed up for our an-nual Pig Roast; we had a great time and raised a few dollars for needy organizations. Speaking of needy organizations, in 2018 the #3996 Eagle Riders donated many thousands to needy organizations. Aeries #3996 was the single biggest benefactor of our dona-tions with an amount over $2,000 dollars stated another way, that would be over

$2,000.00 that went to Aeries #3996 in 2018. I thought you would all like to know the benefit the Eagle Riders are. Have a Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!! Jack Bogan
