EASTER PARTY MARCH 25TH

Hop on Down for our annual Easter Party on Friday March 25^th!!! Maybe you can be the winner of the GOLDEN EGG (must be present to win). Let’s see what our Great bartenders can come up with for Easter inspired Drink Specials.

MESSAGE FROM RUBY

I feel that you should know that your club is in big trouble because of the lack of members coming in and enjoying all of the good food and drinks in our club. This is causing a shortage of money to pay the bills that we need to pay. We have more members then we have had in a long time, but we are not getting them in. I do not know what the problem is, but it needs to be solved very quickly. I am not paying bills on time and it is going to get us in trouble. I have not paid over $1400.00 in quarterly taxes that were due the end of January and I am unable to pay the water bill & electric bill. If we are shut off we can no longer operate the club. If you have any ideas on how to help us out please bring them to the meetings, leave a message for me (my phone number is above) or come in and talk to the trustees. I have the information on the board about our biggest expenses and our needed income. Please come in and enjoy the club. Sincerely Ruby.

WAY ABOVE & BEYOND

A big Thanks to the Auxiliary for their contribution of $1,130, along with Michael Hauser, Meaghan Schmitt, Thea Ariz and Cheryl Elza for their generous contributions to help pay the past due bills. Any other contributions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to John Goss for Making our advertisement in the Woodinville Weekly possible. Look for our ad and share with your friends

NEWSLETTER – Very Important Announcement

Remember this will be the last printed newsletter sent to your home or business unless you “OPT IN”.  If you do not opt in to receive the newsletter by mail it will only be available on our blog and/or the website.  You will be able to print it from either of those places.  Email redmondeagles3324@gmail.com  to opt in, provide your name and mailing address, or put your name and address on the OPT in form at the bar. This is part of our continuing fiscal efforts and will save the club over $2,500 annually and allows funds to be used for other causes.  We understand that for some using a computer is difficult to navigate and in some cases, not available, and it is equally important to remember that for many people computers and cell phones are their only communication source.   There will be a limited number of copies available at the bar. 

***Thea sends a special thank you to everyone who donated to the Giving Tree.  It is an honor to be associated with such giving and caring people who made three deserving families who would not have had a Christmas, have a wonderful and meaningful Christmas.  Can’t wait to do it again next year. 

BUILDING UPDATE

As you can see we have made some incredible progress on getting the building painted, and complete.  You have done a great job with contributions.  We have moved forward two steps, and then we took one step back…..the plumbing issues and leaking pipes required considerable repairs.  The good news is we had the money, the bad news is it was $2,000.00.  The ceiling tiles have been purchased for the back room and we will continue to move forward. 

WAY ABOVE & BEYOND

Ruby and Don Gisle for grabbing those paint brushes and moving forward with the interior paint.  You can see their beautiful work in the main stage and dance area of the club.  Thank you Ruby and Don for going above and beyond.

FUNDRAISER UPDATE

Have you seen the changes so far around the club? The “Make a difference you can see” campaign is really something you can see. It’s never too late to donate. Keep it coming folks to date we have raised $6,982.00 –

YOU CAN STILL GET THAT TAX DEDUCTION!!!!

VERY IMPORTANT

***Change in dues.  The Eagle’s Grand has implemented a change in dues structure.  Please pay close attention to your dues statement when it arrives.  Any questions you have can be asked of your friendly bartenders.  ***Auxiliary members please check our Facebook page, all the dues information was posted 12/20/15: Redmond Eagles Ladies Auxiliary #3324. If you like our Facebook page you will receive a notice for each update.

**I am looking for someone to write the newsletter and update the website.  My new work schedule has proven time prohibitive for me to continue writing the newsletter. Please contact Kris Wentworth at 206-550-5176.  I will train you.

JULY PICNIC A BIG SUCCESS!

Everyone had a good time at our recent annual picnic.  Thanks to everyone who made it possible!  The food was great and all the contributions of salads and desserts were delicious!

THANK YOU, SCOTT & JIM

A big thanks to Aerie President, Scott Nettleton, who provided storage space for our new paddle wheel.

AND to Jim Board for installing a new lock for the closet door.  Way to go, guys!

LADIES AUXILIARY NEWS

Four new members were welcomed into the Auxiliary in July – Cindy Anderson, Kris Ott, Kristine Demarest and Susan Carson.  We’re looking forward to seeing you at future meetings!

We regret that Opal Pope and Mavis Welcome were not at the meetings in July.  They lost out on winning the membership pot.  Sorry, ladies.  Remember, members, you could be a big winner when you attend Auxiliary meetings!

Please note:  The Ladies Auxiliary will hold a fall membership drive in October at the special membership rate of $30 for new members.  Look for more information in September!

TRAVEL CLUB UPDATE

(Submitted by Margie Halgren)

July and August outings were cancelled.  The next outing will be at the Velasco’s on September 5, 6 & 7, where you can enjoy Mt. Rainer and NW Trek, along with the Velasco’s wonderful hospitality.  Several members plan to leave the Velasco’s on September 8 and head down to the Oregon coast with the destination of Newport in mind.  Be sure to attend the next Travel Club meeting on August 13 to make final plans, or contact Mollie to let her know if you plan on going   The September outing is the last outing scheduled.  If you have any ideas and would like to volunteer to be a host/hostess, please come to the meeting to discuss!  See you there!

MEMBERSHIP

Please be prepared to show your valid membership card at any time.  Also, remember to sign in your guests and after 3 guest visits, encourage them to sign up for a membership.  Aerie membership for initial sign up = $55; then $40 a year.  Ladies Auxiliary initial sign up = $40 and then $25 a year (unless there’s a special membership drive).  Such a good deal that gives members access to other Eagles clubs in the U.S.A. and Canada!  Build new friendships along the way!

WHAT’S COMING UP

BUS TRIP -   Saturday, September 27.  $30 per person which includes drinks.  Sign ups start on August 15.  We will be visiting the Eagles clubs in Kirkland, Renton, Issaquah and Snoqualmie. 

BINGO – Bingo will be coming back if we can get volunteers to run the games!  Contact Vi or Ken if you can help!

GOT GAMES?

Do you have any games taking up space in your closet?  Board games, Yahtzee, card games, trivia??

Bring them to the club and help build a game center for everyone to use and share.  Every night can be a game night!  Thanks!

MY APOLOGIES

To Celeste Alvarez for misspelling your last name in last month’s newsletter.  Unfortunately, when I heard your name over the phone, I didn’t ask how it was spelled and thought I heard a different name.  Sorry, Celeste.  Apologies also to Grant Barrie who I somehow thought was named Frank!  Sorry, Grant.   That’s my quota of mistakes for the rest of the year……….I hope!   J

I've changed the blog posting order and wonder which you, the reader prefer. The news part first or the calendar? You may email me at ritzythings@gmail.com. In the subject line in bold put EAGLES BLOG! If you have pictures you'd like to share with the group, they are very easy for me to post. You can email them to me with a note of who, what, where and when and I'll be happy to add them to our blog. 

Thanks everyone! We had 161 page views last month! Can we break 200 this month? Ritzy Ritzhaupt, Eagles blogger.

Thanks to everyone who organized the picnic this year.  Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the perfect weather – not to mention the super burgers and brats and all the other yummy food!  A special thanks to all who donated to the Ladies Auxiliary President’s charity, the Breast Cancer Foundation at Evergreen Hospital.  Because of your generosity, $131 was raised plus $33 for pins.  Thanks so much!
