A Pig and a Swig Results

#3801 Gang ready to roll!

    Sunday August 30th several members of Burlington Champlain Aerie #793 and Addison County #3801 toured Addison and Chittenden County via motorcycle while benefiting a great cause.

     Participants donated a non-perishable food item for the Vermont Foodbank and we gathered 30 lbs of food! After cruising the countryside with ideal conditions....cloudy but no rain.......they arrived at Aerie #793 for a Pig Roast.

      There are some more photos in the picture section. I tried to get the whole group but the were a little too fast for my camera to get them all.

2008-2009 Eagle of the Year Award

From left to right: Charlie Fortin, GWP Jim Roberts, WP Rob Oliver, Chris Dion

   On the same night that the Grand Worthy President paid a visit, I took the opportunity to honor those people who go the extra mile to make sure the Aerie keeps on running. Eagle of the Year award is for the person that you can always count on to help with any function, makes sure the big picture is always kept in sight and gets the job done.
     This year I chose to have 2 recipients...Charlie Fortin and Chris Dion as Eagle of the Year. I want to make sure that they as well as everyone else knows that good work is not taken for granted.  I appreciate their work as well as all our brothers & sisters. Make sure to thank these two for their fine work. It's not that hard to find them...they'll be in the kitchen or out back working hard at our next function!

Child Advocacy Day

Fitting for a free bike helmet

    On Saturday May 9th several local and state fire, rescue and police agencies were on hand for the first annual Kids Safety Day. The weather held up and there was a good crowd enjoying some of the following events: smoke house, car extraction, rope rescue, using a fire hose, canine units, fingerprinting ID cards, bike safety, bike helmet fitting as well as meeting Smokey the Bear, Sparky the Fire Dog and McGruff the Crime Dog.

    Most of the younger kids will also remember the bouncy castle on site as well. Every parent I talked with was very happy with the event and really appreciated having the chance for them and their kids to interact with police, rescue & fire personnel up close. The police, rescue & fire personnel were even more excited about the event and are already looking forward to next year. Our Aerie is also looking forward to next year as well. For some pictures of the event check out our Kids Day Photo Album

Nominations for Officers 2009-2010

The new fiscal year is fast approaching, and we are calling out for nominations for open officer seats for the upcoming 2009-2010 year. If you are interested in actively participating in the club's affairs, please contact Worthy President Rob Oliver via email at websiteadmin@addisoncountyeagles.com or call 578-4137. Or attend a regularly scheduled Aerie meeting the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month.

If you're not able to commit to be an officer, we still want you to come to the meetings and participate as your schedule allows. Aerie meetings are the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of every month at 7 p.m. Come see and decide where our money is being spent and determine the future for our club.

We also need volunteers to help with various functions throughout the year. If every member committed to helping on just ONE event, we would have more than enough help.Be an Eagle member in action, not just in name! Contact the Aerie at 877-2055 or any current Aerie or Auxiliary officer to help.

Our own Tom McGrath has been appointed by Grand Worthy President James Roberts to serve as Grand Treasurer for this year. Tom has previously served as Grand Worthy Chaplain, Grand Worthy Conductor, Grand Trustee, New England Regional President, Vermont State President, local President as well as all local offices.

Tom also is active with the development of the Eagle Village in Florida, Disaster Relief Trailer effort as well as the Grand Aerie Investment Board.
