Election of Aerie Officers will be held at the first meeting in May or May 4, 2024, at 10:00 am. Please consider running for an office and to help guide this Aerie to a bright and purposeful future of people helping people. President’s Corner: Worth President Kelly: Brothers, This is the second installment to the article that is attributed to the Philippine Eagles I came across during an internet search on how to be an Eagle, and how to influence others to be an Eagle. 1. Eagles fly alone at high attitude. Eagles soar higher above the clouds than any other bird. From this first of the seven principles of an eagle, you learn that you should separate yourself from people who do not share your ambitions. Most of the people that will want to bring you down usually are those who have accomplished nothing in life. It’s time to get rid of that friend who says that your degree will get you nowhere or that your business will not get a large market or will fail yet all they do is sit around idling. Find your fellow achievers and journey on to success. This principle also teaches you to be a leader just like an eagle is. 2. Eagles have strong vision. One of the eagle’s characteristics is when it sees its prey three miles away, he narrows its focus to it and sets out to get it. No matter the obstacles, the eagle WILL grab it. This eagle’s way is no different from any other successful people out there. They are the kind of people who no matter the circumstances, they will strive to achieve what they set out to do. In your workplace or business, you shouldn’t let challenges deter you from achieving your goals. There are going to be many obstacles, for instance, you might start a new business venture and the city council is always on your back not to mention friends and family who constantly keep discouraging you but your goal is to build that new home (Aerie) you have been dreaming of. Remain focused on your end goal no matter the obstacles. Do not let them move your focus. Keep going. 3. Eagles do not eat dead things. They feed only on fresh prey. For success, it is vital to be abreast with new changes in the environment you are in, stay focused and up to date by gathering new information and knowledge. The more you know the more open minded you become. Always do your research well to stay clear of outdated information to make sure your work or business remains marketable and relevant . If you sell clothes, for instance don’t sell trousers while everybody is wearing shorts, you will stagnate. In the next few memos, I will present the rest of the principles. Fraternally, Kelly O’Brien Worthy President Madam President Candy Hello Sisters and Happy Easter! Thank you to the Auxiliary on their donation of $3000 to the New Building Fund. Your support of our Basket Raffles is part of the reason that we are able to do this. If you haven’t gotten your chances on the Easter Basket, please do so soon as the drawing will be after Easter Brunch. Why don’t you take Saturday Nights off from cooking and join us for the Auxiliary Dinners from 5:00-6:00, where we donate $1.00 from every meal sold to the Building fund. Speaking of food…. on Thursday’s during Early Dues Renewal, you could join us for lunch for Babe’s Mix and Match which is anything from nuts to bolts, soup, sandwiches and weekly specials. It is a perfect time to have a bite while you are renewing your dues for the 2024-2025 year. All dues are due by May 31, and we even give you a free drink chip if you sign up during this period from 11:00-1:00. Hope to see you there. Nominations for Auxiliary Officers will be made April 15th at the regular Auxiliary Meeting and Elections will be held during the first Meeting in May. Please consider running for an office and to help guide this Auxiliary for the 2024-2025 year. We can use the new ideas that you have. The purpose of the Auxiliary is to raise monies for Charity, where we give 100% of the funds raised for that charity, so if you have ideas and are not looking to be an officer, please attend a meeting and share your ideas. We would like to say goodbye to our Winter Visitors as we know you are returning to your other homes. We wish you safe travels and are already looking forward to your return to us. Fraternally Yours, Candy Arnold, Auxiliary President |

Posted March 5 2024 Hello Eagles, Welcome to March!! My how time flies. YARD SALE: We are having a yard sale this Thursday Mar 7 from 9:00 to 4:00. You may bring donations to the Aerie on Mar 6th from 12:00 until 6:00. The proceeds will support the first State Worthy President from Foothills #4538. Hamburgers, fries and coleslaw will be available for $5. Donuts and coffee will be for sale for you early risers. STEAK FRY: Saturday Mar 9th we will be grilling steaks for dinner. The cost is $15.00 and we will start serving at 5:00. Quantities are limited, so to insure you get a steak, see the bartenders for a meal ticket. GOLF TOURNAMENT: Message from the Tournament Committee Chairman: Our 1st Annual Golf Tournament is rapidly approaching, and we need to get people signed up in order to prepare the golf course. Therefore, I urge those members who are going to participate, know someone that is participating or need to notify someone to sponsor or participate to do so now. Las Barrancas has graciously provided us with the cost of $45.00 per person which includes range and cart use for the day. That means each person's entry is providing us $55.00 profit towards our charities and programs. I am also asking for folks to start bringing raffle prizes in and ensure they are donated for the after party at the Eagles on April 5th. We will have raffles, 50/50, and announce our tournament winners. I want to thank those who have already agreed to volunteer for the event, and I will be scheduling a planning meeting here very soon, so that we can map out those duties and who's doing what. Thank you all, Gator! You can contact Gator Longworth for more information. email: vfwmc.az.gator@gmail.com text: 619-922-7781 BUILDING COMMITTEE : The building committee has reorganized and is preparing for its first meeting. The date and time will be advertised. EARLY RENEWAL: Early renewal is continuing through April. You can renew your dues on Thursdays from 11:00 to 1:00 receive a drink chip and save the Aerie some money because we don’t have to pay for a dues reminder for early renewals. PRESIDENT’S CORNER: Madam President: Hello Sisters, Wishing you, in advance, a Happy Easter. I would also like to thank you all for purchasing tickets on our recent raffle basket. With your help we donated $1700 to the Aerie for the New Building Fund. I am also thanking you in advance for your purchase of tickets for our Easter Basket which is on display at the Aerie. It has several bottles of livation, gift cards and many other surprises. The money raised from this basket will go to Auxiliary Charities. Congratulations to Joyce Thompson for being selected as the Eagle of the Month. Joyce heads a team for Auxiliary Dinners and is very instrumental in sales for our monthly baskets. She highly deserves this honor and we are very proud of her. Hoping to see you all Saturday for our Steak Fry which is being cooked by Bill Hicks and his team. Tickets are for pre-sale from the Bartender for $15 and will include steak, baked potato, green beans and dessert. We also look forward to seeing you Thursday March7th for our yard sale and Bake sale. Donated baked goods and items are greatly appreciated and can be dropped off at the Aerie Wednesday March 8 from noon til around 7:00. The end of the Eagles year is approaching quickly. With the end of the year comes Elections of Officers. We need new ideas and some new sisters to help guide our Auxiliary for the coming year. If you are interested in learning about the responsibilities of being an Auxiliary Officer, please contact myself, Candy Arnold at 928-581-7544 or Babe Burton, the chairman of the Nominating Committee. Come and join our family, you won’t be sorry. The Auxiliary is preparing lunches on Thursday from Noon until sold out. Babe Burton is doing a variety of sandwiches, soups and salads. Every week is a surprise!!! Come and join us. The time is approaching that some of our sisters will be leaving to go to their other home. We wish you safe travels and can’t wait to see you next season. Now that we are providing more meals (Taco Tuesday, Wednesday lunch, Thursday lunch, Friday dinner, Saturday dinner and Sunday brunch.) we are running out of space to store our goods. If you have a Freezer that you would like to donate, we would greatly appreciate it. As it stands now, we have to shop several times a week as space is limited. You can contact Ralph Arnold at the Aerie or myself. Thanks for your consideration. If you are interested in taking the lead on a meal, you can also let me know, come and cook YOUR special dinner. Volunteers are needed for all meals, as I mentioned earlier, some of our sisters will be leaving us and although we cannot replace them, we can use your help in their absence. Looking forward to seeing you at one of our Aerie events!! Fraternally, MP Candy Arnold Worthy President: Brothers, Recently when I was doing some internet research on how to be an Eagle, and how to influence others to be an Eagle, I came across this article that is attributed to the Philippine Eagles. I liked it so much that I thought I should share it will all the members of our Aerie. It is pretty long so I will present it in installments. This is the introduction to the article. Eagleism is fraternalism, or that state of relationship characteristic of brothers. In the Philippine Eagles, members must have primordially developed a deep sense of brotherhood among them. It is the primacy of their relationship is brotherhood. E – Enlightened and innovative humanitarian A – Animated primarily by a strong bond of brotherhood and fraternal ties. G – God-loving, non-sectarian. L – Law-abiding, liberty-oriented, non-political. E – Emblazed with intense mission of S – Service to country, its people and its community. The Fraternal Order of Eagles is an international non-profit organization uniting fraternally in the spirit of liberty, truth, justice, and equality, to make human life more desirable by lessening its ills and promoting peace, prosperity, gladness and hope. When we arise in the morning we have a strong belief that the seed of success within us is growing. Point is, we all need a daily dose of motivation in a world full of ups and downs leaving us with stress on how to achieve success. In us lies the strength to make us creators of circumstances other than creatures of circumstances. This is why, Dr. Myles Monroe, an intriguing persona who made a mark as a preacher, thinker, and leader, came up with the seven principles of an eagle which should educate and motivate you. In the next few memos I will present each of the principles. Fraternally, Kelly O’Brien Worthy President |
