New Look for Eagle Pride

Eagle Pride is being published in an updated format to better document the

activities of the Aerie and Auxiliary. We hope you like the new look. Jean

Transmeier, longtime dedicated Editor, is looking forward to expanding the Eagle

Pride Staff. If you can help out as a copy editor, proof reader or photographer,

please let her know.

Our Aerie and Auxiliary maintains an active schedule of activities and charity

fundraisers. The success of our activities depends on the participation of our

members. A monthly newsletter that publicizes upcoming events and

documents the member dedication and participation in a timely manner should

help to increase member participation.

The Eagle Pride staff hopes that our new editorial policy (See page 2) and

coordination with our Communications Committee, Facebook Coordinators,

and Webmaster will help us to keep our members better informed about FOE

#595 activities. Your comments and feedback are always welcome.

F.O.E. #595 Facebook Page

Our Facebook page is a great source for

late breaking news and photos of Aerie

activities. Kristen Buckley is the lead

F.O.E. #595 Website

Once again, our Aerie has a web

presence at www.eaglesaerie595.com.

One goal of the website is to inform

visiting Eagles and non-members who we

are and what we do.

The latest newsletter and Aerie calendar

are posted. The input from

Aerie/Auxiliary officers and members is

necessary for our website to remain

current.

For late breaking news, our Facebook

page and email blasts from the

Communications Committee are the

best sources. Make sure your email

address is on file with them.

Hi Brothers and Sisters, July is almost gone and I want to say thanks to

everyone who supported Mike and Teri during their month for Muscular

Dystrophy. The cake auction was a big hit along with her dinner of “Road

Kill” (meatloaf.

weekend. Carol and crew can use all the help we can give them. A

Cornhole Tournament is planned for August 18th. Charity Breakfast is

There will be breakfast all four Sundays this month with a crew for each

Sunday. Check the calendar.

Many of our members will be heading out on Aug. 31st to 11-Mile

Leadville’s Anniversary is August 18th. That is usually a lot of fun and is just

a day trip.

Drinking and Driving…Is it worth it?

What is DUI/DWAI?

Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI) – If your ability is impaired to the “slightest

degree” by alcohol, drugs or even prescription medications, or if your blood alco-

hol content (BAC) is found to be in excess of .05 but less than .08, you can be

charged with DWAI.

Driving Under the Influence (DUI) – If you are “substantially incapable” of operating a

vehicle after consuming alcohol, drugs or prescription medications, or if your

blood alcohol content (BAC) is at or above .08.

In Mesa County during 2017 there were 550 charges for DWAI/DUI

The County Court system issues criminal penalties for alcohol or drug-related arrests when there are

no other felony charges involved. The following penalties vary and will be determined by the court. At-

torney fees average $10,000.00 and are in addition to everything else.

In addition to the fines listed above, you may also have to pay penalty surcharges of up to $500, and an-

other $200 for alcohol treatment evaluation, as well as surcharges to benefit crime victims.

Volunteers

Aerie #595 runs with the efforts of our volunteers.

Almost every worthwhile activity depends on volunteers

stepping up to tackle the task at hand, but we seem to

have a a difficult time attracting new volunteers. As with

many other organizations, 20 people do 90% of the work.

The more members get involved, the more they get out

of being an Eagle. Volunteering is one way to give back to

the Aerie. When we joined the Aerie or Auxiliary, one of

the interview questions that we were asked was related

to volunteering. We all had good intentions when

answering the questions, but as time passed many of us

got sidetracked, life got in the way or more likely we just

didn't know how we could help. Maybe no one asked.

Volunteer Opportunities

Among the needed volunteers tasks to consider: food

prep, cooking, serving, event set-up, event decorating,

event cleanup, dishwashing, bingo worker, light

housekeeping, seasonal cleaning, volunteer coordination

or marketing committee member. Don't worry about

being lost, we'll train you. Don't worry about doing it

yourself, we'll find you help or you can be part of an

existing crew. The volunteer's motto should be "See it,

Do it, Teach it." We look forward to working with you!

A good Eagle is expected to help and/or donate as little

or as much as they can. We only ask that you try to

participate and have fun doing it. We don't keep records

of who or how much anyone volunteers. But, for most of

us - the fun is in the doing - while building new

friendships and making a difference in our community.

How Volunteers Start

Stephen McFarlane in his blog post (Ontario Provincial

Aerie and Auxiliary Membership Challenge #2) writes:

"Ask any long-time Eagles volunteer how they started

volunteering and they'll tell you the same story.

It goes like this:

'I joined with no intention of getting involved. Then one day

someone asked me to help out in the kitchen/help decorate

the banquet room/join the ritual team/sell raffle tickets. It just

went from there.'

The three key words here: someone asked me. If you're an

active Eagle Aerie or Auxiliary, it's your story too."

Aerie

Volunteer of the Month

Tom Vogt

We love Tom. Besides

blessing us with his sense of

humor, he helps in the

kitchen with Kelly. He is an

avid Eagle Rider and is plan-

ning the monthly rides that

will occur this summer.

We look forward to more.

Auxiliary

Volunteer of the Month

Kelly Albright

Kelly is always right on top of

things. She cooks breakfast

with Tom Vogt. You all loved

her grits. She will pitch in to

help wherever needed. She

has even been known to help

behind the bar when needed.

She is probably in a few more

places around here, including

playing cornhole. Way to go

Kelly - get ‘em gal !!

Volunteers in Action

The Eagle Riders had their meeting on July 16th.

In September a ride is planned to Dave Williamson’s cabin

on Grand Mesa. We will meet here at the Aerie at

9:00 am for breakfast and be on the road by 10:30 am.

Discussion was held about doing the Pit Bull Ride in June

next year. Looking into that.

Discussed doing Picnic in December on Sat., December 8

with a Cornhole Tournament at 2 pm and dinner at 6 pm.

More on this after September.

A ride is going to be planned monthly while the weather

holds. The next ride is planned for August 26. Tom Vogt

is deciding where we will go.

Watch the calendar for news from the Eagle Riders.

Linda Cruz, Secretary-Treasurer

In July the Junior Eagles did both a car wash and a

Pulled Pork Dinner. I’d like to thank Dillon and

everyone who helped with the Car Wash, and of

course thank you to Carol White for her guidance.

We are looking forward to a fun end-of-summer

outing at Bananas.

With summer ending and school starting again, we will

strive to have more meetings in the future. The Jr.

Eagles are in need of new members! Anyone between

the ages of 12 and 18 may join.

We are currently committed to the charities Kids

with Leukemia and Prevention of Child Abuse. Thank

you for supporting the Junior Eagles and their

charities.

Any questions or suggestions for making this a

successful year for the Jr. Eagles should be sent to

Carol White or myself.
