July 10, 2017 - SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Eagle Riders and interested folks: Van Buren Aerie #3996 Eagle Riders regular monthly business meeting is incorrectly noted on the calendar of events in the July Van Buren Eagles Newsletter as Thursday, July 13, 2017.

July 4, 2017 - PMP Lisa Ochalek and Madam President Toni Watkins want to thank everyone who helped with concessions at the Aerie on the night of the Van Buren fireworks. Thank you for your help, we appreciate all of you! We're asking all members to attend Woodstock Revisited and sell tickets to their family and friends. We use the proceeds to help pay our summer property taxes and we need to make at least $3,000 this year. It's a good value for the money. Where else can you enjoy seven hours of peace, love, and music for $10.00? Effective now through September, entertainment will be on the first and third Fridays of each month. Weekly Entertainment will resume on September 1st. WE'VE RAISED OVER $1900 TOWARDS REPLACEMENT OF THE RUBBER ROOF OVER OUR KITCHEN. A big thank you to the following people and organizations for their generous donations: Janice & Chuck Eaton Jeff & Michelle Gueli Pat & Kay Pickup Roger Hogan Gary & Kathy Smith Jim & Rose Higgerson Jim & Nancy Shrove Tom & Tela Fountain Al & Linda Brehmer Virginia Truran Van Buren Police Officers Assoc. Warthogs Motor Cycle Club Three anonymous donors June 28, 2017 - SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: The club will be closed on July 4, 2017, so our employees can enjoy the holiday with family and friends. June 21, 2017 - SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: The pavilion is rented on Saturday, the same night as the fireworks, so parking will be limited. Please try to carpool and maximize the number of people you bring in your vehicle. Thank you for your consideration. June 19, 2017 - We found an earring over the weekend. If anyone lost one, call the club to describe it and claim it. May 15, 2017 - At the Members' Special Meeting, we voted to replace the rubber roof and pole barn roof.

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; they distributed 40-45 bags of food during the summer months and 52-62 in December. 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:
