Hello everybody,
As we say good bye to
winter hello to spring,

thank all of the good
people that supported Sunday Seahawk

great journey. I
would be remiss if I
didn't say thank you
to all the volunteers
that made the post

their support made it an
outstanding and
fun season. GO SEA-
I hope to see you all
up at the club for
one of our fine
meals, breakfast,
lunch or dinner you
can not beat it any
where. Remember do what you do
best and stay beautiful!!!!
Worthy President,
John Kyes
Note From: Chuck Wood, Junior Past
Worthy President
After our last Aerie Meeting, was asked if I would
consider staying on as
Junior Past Worthy President for the coming year.
I had planned to take a
year off from being an
officer. Knowing that I attend the Aerie meetings, I
thought, “Well, why not?”
I have been an officer in
our Aerie since 2005, with the
exception of one year.
Now, I know you’re going to
ask, “Why would you want to
do this?” For one thing, to
keep this club open, we need
officers to fill the positions. I

Madam President—Diane Kyes
Things are looking good
around the club. The wall with
the Past Presidents pictures is
coming along and thank you to
our Aerie Brothers for making
it look so wonderful. We have
also seen some new stools in
the bar area thanks to the generous donation of a member
and some assistance from the
Aerie Trustees to help pay for
them. We are still hoping for a
spring cleaning which will take
a lot of member volunteers. Be
on the lookout for flyers with
more information to come. We
have a lot of activities during
the next couple of months.
The Aerie Sisters are putting
out good food every week,
their cooking is amazing. To
all you ladies that cook in our
kitchen, thank you for all your
efforts and great flavors you
create. You do a wonderful
job, keep up the good work.
Thank you to all of you who

having
your Eagle’s Card out and
showing before you have to be
asked. It is so greatly appreciated. Everyone for the most
part has been really great in
providing their card. Again
thank you so much.
Hope you all enjoyed Valentine’s Day along with the three
day weekend. That seemed to
work out well for all of us who
have working sweethearts.
With February being such a
short month it makes the year
feel like it is zipping by. The
club doesn’t have a lot going
on in March, however, in April we
will be having a Spring Auction.
Please be watching for more information as time draws near
April 11th.
Thank you to everyone for all that
you do, volunteering is sometimes a thankless job. Every
once in a while you do find that
person or group of people that
really appreciate what you do.
Please don’t let one bad experience keep you from helping others. The club really needs you
and your support. If every member would volunteer an hour or
two each month, we would really
have something to be proud of.
Again, thank you to those of you
who continue to give of yourselves even though we know you
are wearing thin. You are very
special people.
Very Sincerely,
Madam President, Diane
Kyes

Greeting Brothers and Sisters,
Well, spring is just around the
corner and that means another
Eagle year is coming up. One of
the things we need to start looking at is Officers in the Aerie and
Auxiliary for the 2015-2016 year.
To remain operating and strong
we need to fill all positions. For
the Aerie, we still need to fill the
offices of Worthy Conductor,
Treasurer and Secretary. These
are very important positions. The
Conductor sets up the meeting
room, assists the Secretary,
Trustees and Worthy President
during the meeting by moving
reports, funds, guests and candidates across the Aerie room.
The Secretary and treasurer
keep meeting minutes, collect
funds, make bank deposits, keep
books, write checks and membership cards, track membership
and collects signatures for
checks and business documentation. If you are interested or
know someone who might be,
please contact Jim Haygood
or Dani Ne’Fay. For the Auxiliary, contact Debbie Louden
or Laura Vliet.
Also with the coming of
spring we start thinking about
Eagle Valley. You may ask
what is Eagle Valley. The answer is it is a camping and
recreation area for Eagle
members that is owned by all
of the Aerie and Auxiliary
members of Washington
State. It’s located just outside
of Cle Elum, Wa. It is open
from May 1st till the last Sunday in September. There are
campsites for RVs with power
and water and tent sites.
There are horse shoe pits,
game areas for badminton or
volleyball and a miniature golf
course (18 holes). They are
even completing a baseball
Saturday—Chicken Fried Steak Dinner
On Saturday March 14th
we are serving a Chicken
Fried Steak Dinner to benefit the North Mason High
School Scholarship Fund.
We will provide $1000.00
scholarships to selected
seniors in June.
Your assistance and
participation is requested to increase the number of students we can
support.
Dinner will include
mashed potatoes, gravy
vegetables, and apple
cake dessert.
diamond. They are close to restaurants, stores and 3 Eagles
Aeries (Rosalyn, Cle Elum and
Ellensburg). Funding for Eagle
Valley comes from fund raisers
(thanks to our state chair people
Skip & Patti Columbetti), camping fees and the Annual Auction
on Memorial Day. We also volunteer to help clean up and prepare for opening by a work party
on the last week end of April
(24th, 25th & 26th this year). This
also lets us reserve an area for
North Mason on Memorial Day
week end.
So help support your club and
remember Eagles are, “People
Helping People”.
Your Aerie Outside Guard,

And Then….
I saw a poor old lady fall over today on the sidewalk! At least I presume she was poor - she only had
$1.20 in her purse.
A wife says to her husband you're always pushing me around and talking behind my back. He says
what do you expect? You're in a wheel chair.
