WORTHY PRESIDENT NEWS
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As spring approaches us we hope to see our snowbirds back to our social
room. We are at the time of the year where we will be having elections of officers coming, so we hope to see some people get involved. We are still in the
push for new members so please get out and signup some new members. We
sincerely would like to thank all those volunteers doing our fish fry's. Without
them it would be impossible. A BIG THANK YOU! We are looking forward to some upcoming
entertainment we have scheduled. So come down and have a great time. Great job by Brothers
Chet Cook, John Lemke and Roger Wilder for cooking (St. Patrick's dinner) this event was great. I
would like to thank all members who have signed up new members this year as this is really important to maintain our membership levels. We have a great assortment of Craft beers on tap and
we have Growlers so you can take home a great cold fresh beer for your enjoyment. See you soon
at the Aerie as we move into spring. We are also having a
Rib Dinner on Saturday April 18th from 5-8 p.m. (see boxed ad)
Thank You
David Fritz Jr.
Worthy President
