Dear Brothers and Sisters,

 

We need more help in order to offer our Friday steak dinner and Bloody Mary breakfast on Sunday.  Without volunteers we cannot host these meals which members enjoy.  Please sign up for a short shift and nominate your favorite charity for a $500 donation.

Brothers and Sisters,

 

The Aerie made a recent donation to The Foundation for Women’s Cancer annual golf event.

We have two Foursomes available to fill- if you are interested in either putting a foursome together or just playing- let a trustee know (RSVPs are due by August 21)

 

The tourney info is as follows:
