We wear a poppy

On Remembrance Day,

And at eleven

We stand and pray.

Wreaths are put

Upon a grave.

As we remember

Our soldiers brave.

A Message from your President

Remembrance Day November 11th is a memorial day observed in

Commonwealth counties since the end of World War 1 to remember the

members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty.

LEST WE FORGET Poppies available at the club.

Another month has past swiftly and winter is on our doorstep, time for winter

tires and shopping for snow shovels and blowers. With any luck we won’t see the

white stuff until December.

I would like to thank all officers and volunteers for their hard work and support

they have given me and the Aerie to date. We have a wealth of information on

our web site, upcoming events and sports to name a few.

FOE2102.com check it out.

Membership continues to grow. We have exceeded our quota compared to last

year and well on the way to a very good year. Many of our new members have

already expressed interest in volunteering wherever needed. Do not forget to

pay your dues prior to 31 December dues are $45.00 or $50.00 after 31

December.

Winter sports are well under way and our Thursday night nine ball league has

proven to be a huge success and loads of fun! Thanks Karl, Ron and Paul for their

work organizing the league. Monday 8 ball pool, Wednesday darts & Sunday

curling are going strong thank you to the usual organizers of these leagues. We

will be hosting Provincial curling 27Feb to 1 Mar 2015 volunteers will be required

if interested see Mike Bedel.

Grand Aerie held a survey training seminar in Lethbridge on the 10th of October,

Mike Bedel and Neil Stewart attended and reported that it was very informative.

The survey is to identify criteria that should be followed to have a successful

Aerie and we are not far of that mark.

Thought for the month: If everyone works to a common goal and maintains a

positive attitude success will be the result.

A Message from the Trustees

Wow what a great October we had this year! Oktoberfest was a big success and a great time was had by all.

Eagle members from Alberta /Saskatchewan attended the provincial pool

tournament for an awesome weekend and danced to the wee hours of the morning to "Mullet Man", Ron Pederson. Thank you Ron great fun.

The kids Halloween party was fun and costumes were real cool! Thanks

Georgie and Colleen.

Join us in welcoming our many new bar staff to the world of Eagledom.

As we roll into November we need to get that outside stuff put away and winter tires on...be prepared.....have a great fall.......

About 35 kids attended our annual

Halloween party and were entertained

for an hour by the Clown Cartel which

was thoroughly enjoyed by all present.

The kid’s costumes were really

creative. Kudos to parents and

grandparents

for their input.

After a parade through the hall and

lounge, much to the delight of adults

present, winners of the best costumes

were selected. Thanks to our volunteer

judges Laura Sweeney and Steve Toop.

Steve told me he had already picked

winners

before we even asked him to judge.

Georgie did a great job of selecting

prizes for this event.

Following the best costume contest

Brian Message barbecued hot dogs for

lunch. Thanks Brian, they were

delicious!

A big thank you to Ken Jones for his

donation of Dilly Bars. They were a big

hit as always. We would also like to

thank Diane Parks for her donation of

cupcakes

and cookies. What kid doesn't like a

cupcake? Thanks again Diane.

Help in the kitchen is always great and

we would like to thank Lorraine

for that. Georgie, thanks for all your

help. We couldn't do it without you.

All in all the party was a huge success!
