Dear Brothers and Sisters ,
Happy New Year! Here we go! We've got some great programs lined up for the
new year. We begin 2016 with our first Comedy Night on Saturday, January 16th.
This will be our first event in the newly renovated Event Center. We are excited
about this renovation as it is overdue and much needed, as our bookings have increased! January 30th we will be hosting the Second Annual Beer & Wine Tasting
Event, raising funds to save the iconic Catwalk on the South pier. (See the ad in this
newsletter). This will be a day with an Open License, a large raffle, much fun and entertainment! We
hope to see our members kick in for this project. Super Bowl Sunday will be the first Sunday in February, and the club will be hosting a Super Bowl Party for our
members. Bring a dish to pass and watch the Big Game on the
Big Screen! As we kick in this New Year of 2016, we want to
remind our members that we are in a membership drive, so
please try to sign up at least one new member to keep our Aerie strong. I would like to thank all of our members who have
volunteered this last year. We would not be able to do all that
we do without our VOLUNTEERS!!
Thank you and Have a Great New Year!
Thank You

At our meeting on Sunday, January 10th, we will be choosing our 2015 year end donations.
Starting this year our first year membership dues have
been
revised from $33.00 to $20.00, which consists of a $5.00
administration fee and $15.00 yearly dues.
Also this year we are going to be doing dinner rides after
the meetings beginning in April or May. We are open to
suggestions on where to go for these rides.
Please keep any members who have new or ongoing medical concerns in your thoughts and prayers.
Here's a thought for the month, a quote by Hubert H. Humphrey...."The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love."
Be safe!
