UPDATE ON RAISING FUNDS FOR THE ROOF

A big thanks to everyone who has come down every Friday to support our fundraising efforts!  We now have $1,068.50 in the fund thanks to your help!  All funds collected go directly to a special savings account.  This money will not be used for any other purpose.  We had more lucky 50-50 winners in March including Rob Calhoun and 2-time winner Kia Molavi.  Be sure to buy your ticket by 7 pm on Friday for the drawing at 7:30 pm.  YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN!  Come on down, enjoy a Friday night at the Eagles, buy a 50-50 ticket and maybe you’ll be a winner too!   Please note that any personal donations are tax deductible since the Fraternal Order of Eagles is a non-profit organization.  Our American Income Life Insurance Company representative, Amanda McDonald, recently made a generous donation – thank you Amanda!

REDMOND EAGLES BLOG

In March we announced that the Redmond Eagles now has a Blog, However, unfortunately, yours truly reported the wrong address.  I’m sorry about the error.  Some of you might have figured out that the address should have included our Aerie number as 3324, not 3325. The complete, correct address is http://redmondeagles3324.blogspot.com    Please use the Blog instead of email so you can access the newsletter and other news items anytime.  PLEASE NOTE:  Let us know if you still prefer to have the newsletter mailed to you.  We would like to be able to mail the newsletter only to people who want it mailed.  We can cut down on printing and mailing expenses if we know who doesn’t want to have the newsletter mailed to them.  Questions?  Contact Ruby at 425-889-0130, or Cece at jimncece@yahoo.com, or Ritzy, our Blog expert, at ritzythings@gmail.com or 425-868-2423, or leave a note in the newsletter box.  Thanks for your help!
