A CHRISTMAS POEM FOR EAGLES
Christmas Day is finally here, and throughout every town
Most of us have the day off, our computers are down.
We’ve hustled and bustled to wrap up the year,
So now is a good time to breathe, sigh and cheer.
We’ve done what we could with these 52 weeks,
Some gains and some losses, some valleys and peaks.
If we gave it our best, what more could we ask?
There’s no guarantee in this life.
The reports are completed, the data is in.
It’s been quite a year, both the thick and the thin.
We’ve celebrated milestones with our fellow Auxiliaries.
We’ve said goodbye to some dear eagle friends.
It seems being a good leader is not for faint hearts.
It takes great patience and skill. They call it an art.
I know I’ll never get bored at this job that I do,
There’s always something to learn, and some charity to help.
And I will state here and now what really is true,
The important stuff happens between me and you.
It’s the work one to one and then as a team
That makes it all joyful and makes our eyes gleam.
Old St. Nick sent me a text; he’s just passing through.
He said: “Keep up the good work; I’ve got faith in you.
It may be hard at times, but hold to your dreams!
Don’t forget about my list, if you know what I mean.
Lift up yourself and your team, and all work together.
Bringing good things to the world will take all of us.
Let’s always remember we’re People Helping People.”
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
from State Madam President, Kathy Jennings
and all of your State Officers

Hello, Sisters
The holiday season is now in full force with Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas in only 3 weeks!
It was a delightful evening on November 9 as Bookworm Zora Griffith and I attended Lima Aerie and Auxiliary 370’s Hall of Fame Dinner and Program. Zora and I enjoyed the decorations, the delicious meal, the beautiful program and the outstanding one-man band/singer entertainment. Congratulations to the Hall of Fame Awardees: Auxiliary Sister Margie Bryant and Brother Robin Mooney for their devotion and volunteerism to Lima 370 and People Helping People. Lima’s Sisters and Brothers are to be commended for their dedication and support of Auxiliary and Aerie activities from dinners, dances, fundraisers for local and state charities, attending meetings, hosting zone conferences, being present and helping their own members when needed. Thank you Lima #370 for your wonderful hospitality and friendship!
I wish each and every one of you a very Happy and Merry Christmas as you spend this special time with your family and friends. Reflect on the precious memories of the past and look forward to the New Year with your heart filled with love and hope.
Love always, and God bless you All
Your Storyteller
Kathy
