Hello Dear Sisters,
Hope you are surviving this brutal winter. I guess Mother Nature decided after the past few years we needed a really bad one, LOL!
We are starting to prepare for State Convention and I am sending out letters to everyone hoping you will be a part of this great year. Thank you to all who have replied so far.
On January 7th many of us headed to Cadiz #2162 to help raise money for the Auxiliary. We had a great time and were able to raise $2,200.00! They had a Chinese Auction, 50/50, a 42 draw and a DJ. Thank you for all your support.
January 16th -18th was Meet the State Officer’s Weekend at Wapakoneta Aerie #691. We had a wonderful turnout, so nice to see so many of our Eagle brothers and sisters. Wapakoneta always does a great job. We had a Joint Meeting on Saturday that was open to everyone and were able to provide and get some good information and work out some problems. The band Saturday night, “Driving Force” had all of us on the dance floor most of the night.
My husband Stan and I took a little vacation January 22nd to the 31st in Florida. We visited with our daughter Andrea and our son-in-law Jim along with a few other friends. We visited a Bird Sanctuary that helped many birds that could not live in the wild due to injuries they received. We also went to a Capybara Café petting zoo where we could feed the Capybara’s, really loved the little sounds they made. They also had ferrets, an otter, a rooster, guinea pigs and a huge rabbit. We also went to the Imagine Museum with beautiful cut glass artwork. On the 24th we went on a Pirate Ship cruise at Madeira Beach, the crew was a lot of fun. They were hoping we might be able to see some Dolphins, but unfortunately the water was a little choppy. Saw a beautiful sunset.
Don’t forget to go to your Prep Meetings this month to prepare for Zone Conferences in April.
Remember: Butterflies are natures angels. They remind us what a gift it is to be alive.
Until next month, be warm and safe.
Love you all!
Your Leprechaun
