Happy New Year Brothers and Sisters, I would like to wish one and all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Last year was a very eventful year and we are looking forward to an even more exciting 2026. Thank you to all the volunteers that organize and run the various events and those who do the planning, shopping, cooking, serving and cleanup of all the meals, we all appreciate your continued efforts. We enjoyed the Christmas and New Year's decorations which added to the festive atmosphere. Thank you to the volunteers that participated in making the Aerie a pleasant place to spend time with family and friends. A reminder of upcoming events: In January and February, there will be initiations at both Aerie meetings. Our Dance floor has been replaced, and we would like to thank all that helped with that process. Aerie floor replacement project is scheduled for the Dart board section on Jan 7 & 8 and for the Bingo Machine area Jan 21 and 22. We are saving money on the labor by removing the existing floor ourselves. All membership participation significantly helps the effort and is greatly appreciated. Some adjustments to activities will need to be made to redo all the floors, patience is encouraged. The Trustee’s Fish Fry will be on the 9th of Jan at 5pm. The Trustees will be selling the remaining cacti at the 40th St property on Sat Jan 10, at 9am. Proceeds go to the Building Fund. On Jan 14 we will hold our first God, Flag and Country competition, open to all 10-11, 12-13, and 14–15-year-old children at 5pm. The competition is a 3-minute memorized speech on how either, God, Flag, Country or any combination, affects them. On Saturday Jan 17 we are having our annual Open House Membership drive. This is an opportunity to bring friends to the Aerie to see who we are and what we do. New potential members will be given a Raffle ticket when they enter and at the end of the day the drawing will be made for a 1-year free membership. There will be free Hot Dogs and Burgers with chips etc. In February we will start our membership renewal drive, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11am – 1pm. Of course, the secretaries will be happy to renew your membership anytime they are at the Aerie. All winter visitors, please renew your membership before you leave for the summer. We have a garage/yard sale planned for February 12th, please save any donations to bring in the day before, if able we would appreciate any help with the event. On Feb 27th the Aerie 4538’s 3rd Annual Golf Tournament will be played at Las Barrancas Golf Course, in the Foothills. Entrance fee is $80 per person/$320 per foursome. Signup forms are available at the Aerie. Lunch, prizes and raffles will be at the Aerie. The 2026 F.O.E. Arizona State Spring Conference will be held at our Aerie on Feb 27 and 28. The conference gives us a chance to meet our state officers and other membership. There will be representatives from Grand Aerie and Auxiliary who will have information on the changes in the administration of Grand and how that will affect us. All our members are encouraged to attend and participate. Our interview committee is working hard to interview and prepare new members for initiation. Be sure to welcome new members and try to answer any questions they may have. We encourage all members to please inform our officers/ trustees of any new ideas or concerns. Also encourage new members to volunteer to help them become familiar with the Aerie activities. We have a wonderful Eagle Family, and we all need to help each other. Our New Building Fund Thermometer is now at $380,000.00, which puts us past the halfway point of paying off the land mortgage. The building committee members have been working hard to obtain bids to connect sewer and water to the property. We anticipate we are weeks away from starting construction.
