**From the Aerie Worthy President — Valerie Tiger** Greetings Aerie Members! We are progressively moving forward with the upgrades within the Aerie; such as the kitchen, Hall and Social Room — these things help us thrive and run more proficiently. All those who participate in making this Aerie successful are greatly appreciated. We continue to invite friends and family, who soon become members, to come down and join the events. We welcome you. Most importantly, please attend your meetings to stay informed and updated on any changes and important information. And always remember — We are *"People Helping People"* and we will continue to build a stronger Aerie every day. --- **From the Aerie Secretary — Joe Rivera** With the Eagle year moving on, let's continue and finish the Eagle 2025–2026 year in full force.
