Feb. 22, 2018 - Aerie Nominations: The Aerie will be accepting nominations for officers on April 18, 2018 @ 7 pm, which is our regularly scheduled meeting. Please consider running for office. Positions don't come with a training manual (it's on the job training), hours vary, feedback from members can be complimentary or critical, and at times you might feel like throwing in the towel! But there will also be times when you'll feel a sense of gratitude or pride because you played a role in helping the club succeed.
We need officers in order to continue as a club. We also need the new ideas, enthusiasm and energy new officers bring to their positions. It's just a one year commitment for most positions, and in some cases, the officer is only required to attend regular and special meetings. We also like to see our officers attend as many events as possible and make their presence known around the club, which many of you already do, so why not step up and run for office? If you're willing to run, come to the meeting on April 18 @ 7 pm. If you can't be at the meeting but are willing to be nominated, please submit a letter to Aerie Secretary Jeff Gueli before the meeting indicating your willingness to be nominated for the position you're interested in. Voting will take place on May 2, 2018. Please feel free to drop by the Aerie and talk to any officer if you have questions. Thank you, Aerie #3996 |

The Trustees meet on Mondays. Belleville Food Closet Collections - In 2015, The Aerie became a collection point in order to help the Belleville Emergency Food Closet, which operates out of the First United Methodist Church in Belleville. The need for food assistance in our area continues to grow. Assistance is only provided to individuals and families who have a documented and verifiable emergency need, and the food closet works closely with the Salvation Army, Community Care Services, and other local agencies. The Food Closet receives grant funding to purchase some of the food, but over the past few years that funding has diminished and they've had to rely more and more on community support. That's where we can help. A collection box will be in the hall and each month we will notify members what the food closet needs (no glass jars, please). The box will be monitored by Jim Wagner, Aerie Chaplain, who graciously offered to collect our donations and transport them to the Food Closet. We know our Eagle members are generous and giving, so please, when you're grocery shopping for your family, consider picking up a couple extra cans of food for those in need in our area. Thank you. |

If you have submissions for the next month's newsletter send them to the above email in care of Kelley Sherwood (editor) by the 18th of the current month. After much discussion and thought, we decided it was necessary to make changes to the newsletter. Printing and postage are expensive (and postage continues to rise) and we really feel the thousands of dollars we spend on the newsletter each year could be put to better use elsewhere. In light of this decision a new policy went into effect starting in January 2016. Members now choose one of the following options if they wish to continue to receive the newsletter:
