Words from the Worthy President
Wayne Radlinger Sr.
People Helping People
It seems that I just wrote; "summer is finally here," and here it is gone.
Last Friday night my wife June and I stopped in to see how the trustees were doing on their second try at tending bar. Many kudos to Mary Lou Nenning, Jim Copet, Steve Leu and Mike Huber for a great job, June and I had a wonderful time. The raffles were super; the horse races were even more fun. I hope that these guys do this more in the future. If they do, make sure you show up for a remarkably good time, as well as the drink specials.
Just a quick update on the Eagles Diabetes Research Center at the University of Iowa: On October 3rd, 2009, the Grand Aerie presented a five million dollar check to the Diabetes Research Center. That is the first of five installments to equal twenty-five million. If anyone wishes to make a contribution please see Rich Weis, andy of the Trustees or myself. Thanks again Trustees for a great Friday Night.
