LETTER FROM THE STATE WORTHY PRESIDENT

Brothers & Sisters,

What’s Up? We are full swing into spring

and visiting our brothers and sisters

throughout the state. Shirley and I ended

March by visiting WP Jimmy Garcia and

the members of Walsenburg #1187 for

their joint anniversary. It was a wonderful

day, good meetings, outstanding food and

good dance music afterwards. I loved the

picture given to me of the FOE Silver Ju-

bilee Convention held in Denver in 1923,

it is pretty cool. The Eagle trail then took

us the next weekend to Pikes Peak #143

where WP Scott Brown and his team initi-

ated 8 new members into our Order. It

was fun to find out that one of their new

members, Chuck Foley is the grandfather

of Grand Junctions Conductor Tom Foley.

I was very touched with all of the family

theme decorations, the donations to my

special project and I had so much fun at

their dinner. PSMP JoAnn Hall is soo fun-

ny! She had everyone in stitches with her

presentations and if you were unable to

attend you should try to be there next

year. We then spent the following week-

end at Pueblo #145’s joint anniversary

with WP T C Rice overseeing the ban-

quet. To brother TC and the members of

Pueblo #145 thanks for the good time, my

gift, home of “What’s Up” and the dona-

tion to Casa. All were very much appreci-

ated.

East Side Aerie and Auxiliary #3260 held

a weekend long celebration for their joint

anniversary with the Aerie having its

50th. It was an awesome weekend filled

with food, music, laughter, bragging

rights and some tears. Cheri Daily was the

chairman for the weekend and WP Steve

Traini and all that attended were not dis-

appointed as she and her workers did a

great job. I knew that East Side had

worked hard all year for their charities

and when they started presenting checks it

seemed like they would not stop. In all

they gave to charity over $80,000.00 in-

cluding $8,595.64 to my special project

CASA, that is where the tears came from.

I was overwhelmed and so proud of this

group of Eagles and the way they support

their local community, it was AWE-

SOME.

Great news, GWP Bud Haigh will visit our state May 18th - May 21st. He will start out on Monday the 18th with an afternoon meet and greet at Aurora #3224 followed by a dinner fund rais-er from 6-8 at Northwest #4019. On Tuesday he will be at East Side #3260 for a lunch meet and greet. We will then travel south to Steel City #3267 for an hour meet and greet before heading to Pueblo West #4471 for dinner at 6:00. On Wednesday you’ll find him at Grand Junction #595 for tacos and trivia. Come out shake hands with GWP Bud, he’d love meet with you and visit. Please look for more specific times and info on his visit on the web site. Also you will find info in this newsletter regarding all of our May anniversaries. Remember, All Worthy Eagles Shall Offer More En-gagement – thanks for being Awe-some and hope to see you on the Ea-gle trail. Fraternally, Duane T DeBord dtd2826@yahoo.com (970) 986-2188

Letter from the State Madam President

Auxiliary Corner This Colorado weather has been

true to its name. I am sure we

are all waiting on the wonderful

days of summer. April has been

very busy and it is wonderful to

see all the green coming in. I’m

sure Palm Sunday and Easter

Sunday were enjoyed by every-

one. I know our members at

Thornton had a very good time

with our children.

The joint Anniversary at Pueblo

145 was enjoyed by all who at-

tended. If you did not attend the

50th Anniversary at Eastside

#3260, you missed watching

them give away $32,000 to char-

ity. GREAT JOB Eastside. After

the celebration at Eastside,

Thornton #3226 was busy get-

ting ready for the Aerie’s 51st

and the Auxiliary’s

50th. The meetings, dinner and

the music were GREAT. If you

did not attend, you really

missed out on a FANTASTIC

TIME. Hopefully we will see you

next year.

Sisters, if you have not brought

in a new Auxiliary mem-

ber, please do so soon, time is

running out. I know that May will

soon be over and the amount

of members we bring in will be

greatly appreciated.

I look forward to seeing every-

one at the upcoming Anniver-

saries this Month. Englewood will

be having a “Red Carpet Event”,

followed by Broomfield, Steel

City and Castle Rock. Please make

it a point to attend.

Local Elections and Installations

will be happening by the end of

this month. Good Luck to all the

new officers in our Aeries and

Auxiliaries.

We have a few brothers and sis-

ters who have been ill, and in the

hospital. Do not forget them in

your prayers, and please send

cards. We need you all to get

well and healthy. You are missed

by all of us.

So until next time, stay healthy

and warm. God Bless.

Fraternally,

Timmie Torres

State Madam President

Is your Aerie or Auxiliary deserving enough to be awarded Aerie or Auxiliary of the Year? Do you know an Aerie or Auxiliary member that is so top-drawer that they must be Eagle or Sister of the year? Or even “Couple of the Year”? Prove it. Get a small committee together ASAP and get it all in writing. The letters must be received by the Aerie/Auxiliary Chairman and post marked no later then June 1, 2015. Below is a list of the current Chairpersons to send your Letters and Reports to. Don’t miss the deadline!!
