Secord Lake Eagles
If I can not speak well of an Eagle,
I will not speak ill of him.
Volume 16, Number 6, Dec, 16 & Jan, 17
The Worthy Prez sez...
First of all I would like to thank all the veterans for their service to our country. Your devout patriotism is greatly appreciated for our freedom. As winter is closing in on us and most of the leaves have fallen it won’t be long until the first snowfall covers the land. I would like to send out a special plea for a member to step up and chair the 4th Friday Fish Fry. This function creates revenue for the club and we would like to continue having this function. Thank you to the Auxiliary for having a great Polish Fest. I received many compliments on the food. A special thanks to all who contributed in ensuring the MSU/M Game was a Great and a good time was had by all who attended. I would be remiss if I didn’t congratulate Bob Boroff on the wonderful job he did on the new bar. Thank you very much and the membership seems to really enjoy gathering and enjoying the camaraderie. Please check the calendar for events scheduled for December and January. Well, before I close this letter I would like to wish the entire membership, their families and friends a blessed and very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Until next news letter may God Bless.
Fraternally,
Larry Brzezinski, Worthy President 2015-2016
Aerie Chaplain Report
As we are fast approaching the holidays, it is s good time to get together with family and friends. As we gather together, let us be thankful for everything we have, our families, our friends, all those near and dear to us, as well as, the Club itself. Also, take time to send a card to someone you haven’t seen in a while. Especially, remember Kurt Wingate as he continues to recover, as well as, Dick Aspin, who has had his challenges. Remember Pat, his wife and caretaker. Also, don’t forget those that have lost loved ones over this past year. A card or note always spruces folks up.
Have a blessed holiday!!
Roger, Aerie Chaplain

Craft/Vendor Bazaar Huge Success
Thanks to all who made this event a HUGE success for the club and vendors! Special thanks to the set-up crew, the Auxiliary table workers, bakers, shoppers and ALL for the advice that made this a fun and successful event.

The Polish Fest, Craft Bazaar and Harvest Dinner were all huge successes thanks to the volunteers and those that supported them. Upcoming events include the Annual Kids Xmas Party on December 10th (please sign up in the hallway so Santa knows); Auxiliary Xmas Luncheon at the Camp, December 17th - 1 PM, New Years Eve Party, December 31st; Chili Cook-Off, Saturday, January 14th and the Aerie Fun Run January 21st.
