NEWSLETTER Aerie #4217  


 

Worthy President: The Grand Aerie was established in 1898. A group of theater owners in Washington State wanted to provide a way to help bring owners, actors, and stagehands together to unite for positive relationships.

Hale Aerie #4217 was Instituted March 11, 1989. It was Incorporated under the laws of the State of Michigan, March 5, 1990.

We have entered our 35th Year!

The Eagles pushed for the founding of Mother’s Day, Social Security, and to end job discrimination based on age.

Over the years and today, they provide support for medical centers across the United States and Canada to build and provide research on medical conditions. The yearly dues we pay to belong to our Aerie, and Grand Aerie, help build finances for charity support activities.

Our Aerie has survived and prospered where other Aerie’s and organizations have struggled or failed.

Men and Women have given their skill, time, and support where needed in the various operations and activities.

We are a member Owned Club AND Business. The better we are organized, the better potential for good outcomes occurs.

Aerie Plaques, with Charter Membership names, are located on the wall in the Community room next to the Fish Fry serving window. The adjacent wall has the Past Presidents of the Aerie and Auxiliary.

It is interesting to review the names and pictures of those who have helped us to continue as HALE AERIE #4217.

            You can be proud to be an Eagle!

Thank you, past and present members.  Aerie #4217 Worthy President, Ray Rasch (treescaperay@gmail.com)

Audrey has earned her special spot at the end of the bar.  She has done many things during her earlier years, including but not limited to her cooking talents. A heartfelt thank you to Audrey for her many years of service and a blessed year ahead.

Audrey would like to thank everyone for making her day very special.
