MORE EVENTS IN APRIL
Friday, April 19
– “Fill Your Wine Cellar and Fix the Roof Party” – The first event
of its kind at the Redmond Eagles – don’t miss it! All you have to do is bring a bottle of your
favorite wine and buy a $5 ticket to enter the drawing to win ALL the wine collected! The cash will go directly to the ROOF
FUND! Clever, eh! Let’s set a goal of 100 bottles and raise
$500 for the fund! You can start
bringing in your bottles of wine on April 1.
Monday, April
29, 7 p.m. - Plan to participate in the Joint Meeting of
the Aerie and Ladies Auxiliary. We’ll be
making plans for the annual picnic on July 13, for Thanksgiving and for other
events during the year, especially fund raising activities! Come and contribute your ideas!
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!
