Greetings to all!

We are letting everyone know about the Redmond Eagles 3324 and the wonderful people that congregate inside. The building sits on the back of the lot at 11440 Avondale Rd NE, Redmond, WA 98052, across the street from the PCC.

There are meetings and gatherings where I'm sure you would fit in and feel right at home. Please check out our February calendar and newsletter. Do make a point of coming when the kitchen is open. We offer great food with pocketbook friendly prices. Friday night prime rib dinner has rave reviews.

Truly, when you walk inside you'll think you stepped into, "Cheers, where everyone knows your name!"

FUN IN FEBRUARY

Sunday, February 3 – Come on down to watch the SUPER BOWL GAME with all your fellow football fans.  Bring a dish to share for the BBQ potluck.  Sam Smith will be making his tasty pulled pork, so anything that goes with that would be great!  There WILL also be a CHILI COOK OFF, so all you chili lovers be ready for some good stuff!

Sunday, February 10, 5 pm – Annual Golf Awards and Season Kick Off Banquet.  If you’re interested in more info about the Golf Club, contact Cheryl at the bar.

Friday, February 15, 5 pm – Valentine Dinner Party – Bring your sweetheart for a special night out at the Eagles.  Enjoy a prime rib or steak dinner or order from the menu, plus a special Valentine cake for dessert!  Then stay and enjoy your favorite dance music!

Thursday, February 21, 5 pm – Special meat loaf dinner at 5 pm. 

Every Saturday night in February – Specialty dinners will be served every Saturday night this month from 5-8 p.m.  Specialty dinners are meals that aren’t on the regular menu.  So you might be treated to beef stroganoff or spaghetti.  Whatever it is, if Lena cooks it, you know it will be good!

PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE

The Eagles motto, “People Helping People,” starts at home, and the Ladies Auxiliary recently demonstrated that by making a generous donation to the Aerie.  The Aerie said it was really needed and “just in time.” 

IT PAYS TO ATTEND AERIE & LADIES AUXILIARY MEETINGS

A friendly reminder to all Aerie and Ladies Auxiliary members:  Meetings are held on the 1^st and 3^rd Mondays of every month, so join your fellow members, take part in the activities AND you also might win a few bucks.  No big winners at the Aerie meetings in January, but it could be YOU in February!

The Auxiliary membership pot continues to grow.  Michelle Primeau and Colleen Lewis could have been big winners if they had been at the January meetings.  Now the pot is up to $140.00.   Mavis Board and Myrna Talaga won the attendance pots.  You, too, can be a winner.  Just come to the meetings on the 1^st and 3^rd Mondays of the month.

RAISING THE ROOF – FUNDS THAT IS

The weekly 50-50 drawing is off to a good start with two lucky winners in January – Andy Taylor ($73) and Jay Gates ($75).  The money that has been raised for the roof has been put into a special savings account especially for the roof – no other purpose.   Additional donations are welcome, as well as other ideas for raising funds.  Thanks, everyone!  Don’t forget to get your ticket ($1 each) for the next drawing.  Drawings will be held every Friday at 7:30 p.m.  YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN!  So come on down, enjoy a Friday night at the Eagles, buy a 50-50 ticket and maybe you’ll be a winner too!

TRAVEL CLUB NEWS

We would like to thank all of you who supported the 2013 Crab Feed.  It was a huge success!  Congratulations are in order to “the Biggest Crab Eater” and all the raffle ticket winners.

The Crab Feed would not be possible without the many volunteers it takes to put on this event.  We would like to thank the bartenders, the Boy Scouts and everyone else who helped.  We could not do it without you!

Please join us on February 13 for our next meeting.  Our 2013 outings are being planned, and we would like your input on trips you’d like to schedule. 

PARKING ISSUE

Please take care when you back your vehicle into a parking space.  The bumper might block the walk way for people coming into the club.  This is especially difficult for people with disabilities.   Please make sure there is plenty of room for people to walk (or use wheelchairs) safely in the walk way.  Thanks for your cooperation.

DINNER FOR TENT CITY RESIDENTS

The Ladies Auxiliary is making plans to provide a dinner for Tent City residents (at St. Jude’s Church in Redmond) on Sunday, April 7.  If you’re interested in helping, please contact Cece at 425-885-4604.

A Special Message from LeaAn Schmitt

 “I just want to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers and give you a quick update.  Two rounds of chemo were very successful, so I am moving on to start radiation in the coming weeks.  Feeling good about that!  Again, thank you for your thoughts and prayers for me and my fantastic family who are a continuous source of support and assistance for me, as are all of you.”

PLEASE NOTE:  Items for the newsletter are due by the 20^th of the month.  Please place your items in the newsletter box or call Cece at 425-885-4604.  Thanks!
