R.E.A.C. February Outing

2/23/2020

Our REAC group didn’t need flowers or chocolate to celebrate Valentine's Day this month. Instead, they shared an afternoon together enjoying lunch and a movie. Friendship is a priceless gift!

The group of eighteen started with lunch at Aubree’s Pizzeria & Grill in Ypsilanti because breaking bread and friendship go together so well, and then some of them went back to the club to watch a movie. Our bartender, Dan, rented “Judy" for them and had freshly popped popcorn waiting! He’s a great friend, too.

Eating lunch and watching a movie is more fun when you’re with friends. The group welcomes new members if you'd like to take part in the fun. Join them at one of their outings held on the third Tuesday of every month and see what they're all about.

REAC sent along these pictures from their fun day. Enjoy.

R.E.A.C. January Outing

1/25/2020

Winter weather doesn't prevent our Retired Eagles Activity Club from having fun. The group recently met for lunch at the Woodside Meadows Golf Course in Romulus. Good food, good times, and good friends. It doesn't get any better than that!

The group welcomes new members. Join them at one of their outings held on the third Tuesday of every month and see what they're all about.

Here are a few pictures of their recent outing. Enjoy!

R.E.A.C. December Outing

1/2/2020

“For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll take a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne.“

We all recognize the words to that song universally sung on New Year's Eve. It’s basically about friends catching up over a drink or two to reminisce about the times they’ve shared together, and that’s exactly how our Retired Eagles Activity Club closed out 2019 at their final outing. They had a pub crawl!

The group of 20 members met for lunch at JT's Pub & Grub in Belleville, and some of their hardier gang went on to the Bayou Grill and finished up at The Lakeview. That’s the way to end the year!

The group wishes everyone a healthy and happy New Year, and they invite you to join in taking a cup of kindness with them in 2020.

We hope you enjoy these pictures from their outing.

R.E.A.C. Christmas Dinner

12/5/2019

Good cheer, good food, and good friendship were in abundance at our Retired Eagles Activity Club's recent Christmas dinner. Nancy Fruit once again went out of her way to prepare the delicious dinner (many thanks, Nancy) and R.E.A.C. paid for everything. A total of 29 members spent the evening together talking, laughing and sharing their time with one another, which is a good reminder for all of us that the best gifts don’t necessarily come in boxes with pretty bows.

R.E.A.C. sent along these pictures for you to enjoy, and they also send wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone.

R.E.A.C. November Outing

11/23/2019

Our Retired Eagles Activity Club met at Rose's Restaurant in Canton for their November outing. It was the perfect setting to break bread with one another and enjoy the company of all twenty-one people that attended.

With Thanksgiving around the corner, we're sure they are all thankful for the good times and friendship they share each month.

Here are a few pictures from their outing. We hope you enjoy them. Happy Thanksgiving!

R.E.A.C. October Outing

10/22/2019

Our R.E.A.C. group picked the perfect outing for a cool, sunny, fall day. They met at Apple Charlie's Orchards in New Boston where they could shop for cider, pumpkins, apples, and all kinds of delicious autumn food.

After leaving the orchard, they headed over to Iron Mike's Eatery & Tavern for lunch. The food was delicious and 21 “retired" people enjoyed each other's company. We call that a successful outing.

Check out the pictures and see what you missed!

R.E.A.C.'s September Outing

9/23/2019

Another month, another awesome REAC outing. The group headed to Pinckney this month for lunch at Zukey Lake Tavern. The sports bar has a great menu and is located on a lake, the perfect setting on a late summer afternoon.

Following lunch, the group caravanned over to the Howell Nature Center to check out some of Michigan's native birds, mammals and reptiles. It was a nice, relaxing way to end the afternoon.

Enjoy these pictures from their outing. Our favorite is the one of the large, majestic Eagle!

R.E.A.C.'s Fall Potluck

9/6/2019

Our Retired Eagles Activity Club held their “annual" picnic in our pavilion recently. It was a relaxing way to say goodbye to summer and hello to fall. A brief shower blew through, but it didn’t stop them from enjoying the food. Everyone brought a yummy dish to pass and REAC provided the hotdogs and buns, condiments, and paper products.

Once again, Dave and Gladys Walker did a great job setting up for the picnic, and Mike Searl grilled the hotdogs. He is now their Official Hotdog Chef! And everyone rolled up their sleeves to help with cleanup.

Thank you to everyone for making the picnic possible. We're a good team.

We hope you enjoy these pictures from the picnic. A big thank you to Nancy McFall for sending them our way.

R.E.A.C.'s August Outing

8/22/2019

Don’t let anyone ever tell you that our Retired Eagles Activity Group can’t keep up. On their recent pub crawl they hit not one, not two, not three, but four different bars!

They started by meeting at Egan’s Pub for lunch, and then ventured over to The Bayou, Lakeview, and Johnny's on the Lake for cocktails. We call that a successful crawl!

We hope you enjoy these pictures from their fun day. Their monthly outings are open to all Van Buren #3996 members, so feel free to join them next time.

R.E.A.C.'s July Outing

7/26/2019

We're sharing a few pictures from R.E.A.C.s recent outing on the Detroit Princess Cruise Riverboat. They couldn't have asked for a nicer summer day! The weather was perfect, along with the scrumptious lunch buffet they enjoyed as they sailed the river.

Are you sorry you missed out on the fun? They plan on going again next year, so put it on your calendar now and you'll be sure not to miss it!

We Would Love to Have You Visit the Aerie or Join the Eagles!
