From our Aerie PresidentBrothers and Sisters, We had emergency roofing repairs completed to our Social Room in November. The roof had started to sag and leak in numerous locations. Once the shingles were removed, it was found that numerous pieces of plywood needed replaced prior to installing new roof-ing.

I wish everyone a very “Merry Christmas”, and an even “Happier New Year!We will hold nominations for two Trustees positions on December 17th during our normal Aerie meeting.

Eagles News

From our Auxiliary PresidentIt’s hard to believe that December is here. The holidays have a different look this year with Covid-19 restrictions. Keep yourself and your family safe by observing the guidelines. The Auxiliary Ways & Means committee held a Harvest Party on the 14th. Lots of fun was had by all and the food was excellent. They are hosting an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party on December 5. Come out and have a great time.We are having an SPCA fundraiser on December 12. This event includes a dinner of spa-ghetti and meatballs or sausage and an auction. We are having our Annual Christmas Party on the 19th. The time has yet to be decided. Keep an eye out on the website or facebook pages for information.2020 has been quite the year. We have had many losses and many have suffered with a loss of income. Be thankful for what you have and help those in need. Remember the rea-son for the season. Merry Christmas!Hope to see you all soon at the Aerie,Diana Tinsley, Auxiliary President

FOOD DRIVEA food bank box is located in the hallway of the Aerie if you would like to donate any food items.Thank you for your continued support in this outreach.Theresa Hartharttheresa@rocketmail.com757 646 6547

VETERANS NEWS A Veterans Day tribute with full honors was conducted by the officers of the Hampton Roads Council of Veterans Organizations at the Tidewater Veterans Memorial Park on 10 November; (a heavy rain forecast for 11/11 caused tribute to be held on 10 November). Your Aerie had a very successful Veterans Day Luncheon in the Social room on November 11th. I want to thank Brothers Dave Steadman and Dwight Kane who paid for the cake and pizza. Also a BIG THANKS to Karen Norris, Dot Pearson, Crystal Rowe and those who brought a cover dish and those who helped cleaning up. Brother Bob Freitag tried to reenact the Veterans tribute held on the 10th at the Aerie luncheon on the 11th, however technical difficulties were encountered with Bob’s sound system, as well sound on the big screen TV. While members enjoyed the served food, laughter could be heard which was caused by Bob’s numerous personal comments on why the sound system continually failed. Bob tried numerous unsuccessful work-a-rounds that got him one BIG BLACK ‘X’ in his copybook. Who says Teachers don’t get Black X’s??? The Aerie players (Brothers Wheelock, Epstein, Singleton and Bob) did a great job in reading the Veterans Day tribute and honors script and all stood tall at the successful playing of our National Anthem. As per HRCVO bylaw there is no council meeting in December. The next meeting will take place January 25, 2021. Please keep in mind that Aerie 3204 is the Veterans Day Parade, Ceremony and Luncheon Co-Sponsor for 2021. More information on this subject will appear in the January newsletter. December important dates that may affect Veterans and others in Aerie: 12/7: Pearl Harbor - Remembrance Day12/8: U.S. declares war on Japan (1941)12/11: U.S. declares war on Germany (1941)12/12: Army Navy Game 3 PM (CBS)12/15: Bill of Rights Day12/21: First Day of Winter12/25: Christmas Day12/31: New Year’s EveBe sure to check the enclosed newsletter calendar for more important days in December.

If you would like to volunteer for these events, we are looking for ladies who like to cook, emcee, serve, decorate, cashier and help clean up. We thank you for even considering helping out. Points of contact are Debbie Hall (Chairperson) – (757) 407-4989, Regina Ruark (757) 615- 5682 and Maria Hunger (757) 642-4725.

COVID19 UPDATE from AERIE TRUSTEES Restrictions UpdateBrothers and sisters, after carefully reviewing the amended executive order 67 from the governor’s office we have implemented these guidelines. As we fall under the section of private club we do not have to cease alcohol sales at 10:00pm. We will remain with our standard operating hours and current social distancing practice. Our club capacity has been reduced to 30% which puts us to a limit of 30 persons in the social room. As the tides change we will keep updating everyone of new guidelines and regulations. We are doing all we can to keep our Aerie home clean, safe and welcoming. Thank you for your support during these difficult days.
