Membership Dues $60.00Spouses Cards $20.00Widows Cards $15.00

Because of costs we do not send out dues reminders. We count on our members to remember that for themselves. A good indicator for that would be getting a new calendar for 2017. You now know it’s a new year and you need to renew your membership. Just like always the deadline to pay dues is the last day in February. After that penalty money is tacked on.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE 2016Thank you to the nominating committee of 2016. The seven person committee originally included Randy Korstick, Jules Owen, Howie Burns, Ralph McElea, Mel Oros, Pat Burns and Committee Chairman Ed Dieser.

out with functions, with raffles and things that need to be done for the good of the club. Also, coming up with ways to help reduce costs and increase revenue through means of events and raffles ideas and creative ways to make money for the club.

It always seem the closer we get to the end of the year the faster it goes. I’ve heard the same said about toilet paper. One of the things we take great pride in is Club traditions. If you look at the calendars for November and December you will see several of our annual events. Events like, The Turkey Raffle, Children’s Annual Christmas Party, Our Christmas Eve Buffet and Christmas Morning Tom & Jerrys. These traditions were kept by the generation before us and we carry them on in hops that the next generation will do the same.

Thank you to Joan Dotson & her little sister Carol Benjamin for their efforts this year into our Saturday Night Outdoor Bowling events. Outdoor Bowling is one of the favorite events at the club. It’s always a good time to be outside with good people having fun.

Thank you to Popeye and Sir Yogi for putting together or Sunday Morning Tailgate Parties for us again this year. We would like to have bigger and better turn outs for this so please come and bring a friend. Once you come you’ll be back.

Thank you to Board Member Joe Silage for putting together Poker Tournaments for the club. I know the people who show up to play really enjoy them. He has another scheduled for November so you have to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky?

Our Car Show, in September, turned you to be a good time too! We had 30 cars on display so thank you car owners for sharing your treasures on wheels. Thank you to Mr. Jim Bush for your help in bringing up more cars this year. Thank you to our Cruise Night Food Crew too! Don & Kris Schleining and Louise & Al May. Everyone who came to the car show was able to vote for their 3 favorite vehicles and awards were given for 1st 2nd and 3rd place to whomever received the most votes. 1st Place Awarded to Robert Lopez for his ‘57’ Chevy Bel-Air

While we are on Friday Nights it’s important that our Friday Night Fish Fry Crews are properly recognized. These are the people who give their time to make sure good food is available to members, their families and guests each week. Volunteers would be the key word here. They volunteer their time, talents and efforts. These crews include A.P.D. Cooking Crew, The White Crew, Popeye & Yogi’s Crew, The Cook Crew, Frenchy’s Crew, The Dady Family Crew, Fred’s Crew, Cindy & Jules Crew. Friday Night Fish and Steak Frys would not be possible without the people on these crews to volunteer their time and help out. Thank you for all your fine efforts and dedication throughout the year. Still we could always use more help. If you have a small group who is interested in starting a crew of your own please inquire. We have the means to help you get started.

A NEW FISH FRY CALENDAR FOR 2017A new fish fry calendar will be available as of Saturday December 3rd. Crew leaders please take the dates you would like to help out beginning on December 3rd starting at noon. As always you may take as many or as few Fridays as you like. Our goal is to fill the Fridays but without stressing crews to the point of over doing it. Thank you too all!

At the end of each year I like to recognize a small but important group of people I call The Supplemental Income Committee. Al May is and has been the Chairman of this committee for longer than I can remember. Other members are Richard (Bones) Bonifas, Donny (Little Don) Schleining and yours truly. The committee meats once a week for 52 weeks in each year. Thank you for setting a side the time to take care of business.

Thank you to our Club Manager Jules Owen. Jules may as well have been an EMT because it seems she is always on call. If I or the bartenders or kitchen help needs her she is available even on days off or vacation…she picks up her phone to help. Jules does so much more than just ”her job” . She is constantly going out of her way to do extra and helping out. If any crew needs an extra hand she is there. If there is a problem and she can’t fix it herself she knows the people to get it done. There are so many details of the club few people are aware of but her, Popeye and Myself. It sometimes amazes me how it all seems to get done and pulled together. It reminds me of the trick we all use to see on Bozo’s Circus of the man with the spinning plates on top of many poles. He must run from end to end to keep all the plates spinning or they’ll fall and the plates will break. All the plates must keep spinning or the trick is ruined. Well somehow Jules manages to keep all the plates spinning…always. I know can be exhausting at times so thank you.

The Thank You list would not be complete without thanking all of our many active members. I hope you are or will become one of them too!. We have some 1600 or so members but only 10 to 20 percent of them are what we would call active members. I’m talking about the members who come up to enjoy the club with their guests or families on a regular basis. The ones that help keep the doors open beyond paying their annual dues. God bless our active members. We need more like you!

As this long long letter comes to an end I want to wish each of you a very happy and peaceful holiday season. We all need a bit of peace in our lives after a year like this. We need to know that the world will still be there when we wake up each morning and that our Families, Children and Grandchildren are safe and happy. May 2017 bring some sanity back to our world and hope that we can all get along. We’re all in this thing together so keep your stick on the ice.

Have a better 2017 and stay healthy.

Many many thanks to all the nice people who volunteer each Monday night during Bingo season. This is a weekly event in the Fall, Winter and half of the Spring that would not be possible without the people who come to help out. Alice Collette, Linda Plant, Dennis Douell, Board Memeber Margie Thorgensen, Bingo Caller Ron Bennett and New Caller Rich Glessner and the many Bingo checkes we have. Bingo does not happen without you people.

We had a beautiful day for our Homecoming Event this year. Cool in the morning and a nice warm up throughout the day. Our Craft Show was filled with vendors who hopefully made some money. Thank you to Board Member Margie Thorgesen for your help. Thank you to Don Schleining and Mark Fowler who came to the club before sun up to get the pig roast started so that it would be done by 5pm. If you weren’t there then you missed out on a fantastic meal. Thank you as well to the kitchen help who made additional dishes and served food that night, Kris Schleining Louise & Al May. For evening fun we had a fall outdoor bowling put together by Joan Dodson & Carol Benjamin. Thank you ladies!

Each October we have a Family Breakfast with the Scarecrow so that members might bring up their children or grandchildren to have a morning meal and get a pumpkin. Thank you very much to Timmy White and all his sun rise cooks that make this all possible. In addition thank you to Carrie McQueary for once again being our Scarecrow and handing out pumpkins and posing for photos with the kids. You may not know it but you are giving children a memory they will cherish and talk about as adults.

Halloween Pizza Night was also a fun event. Even though we had to rearrange it a bit for the Cubs playing in the world series. Our apologies to Debbie Hunley for having to cancel on her DJ service a week befor the event. Debbie will join us at the Hoiday Pizza Party the Saturday after Thanksgiving to entertain the kids and help kick of the Christmas season. Thank you to all the pizza makers. Jim and Denise Stumpenhorst, Timmy White, Darrel Cook and Jules Owen.

I know there are many members who look forward to Tuesday Nights at the club. Each Tuesday of the month we offer a different evening food special. These Tuesday Night are only possible with the help of volunteers. For example Bob and Annie Miller help out on Taco Tuesdays. Carol Kartheiser on Chicken Night. Cindy Fitzpatrick comes up with her very own specials to help fill in our dates. For Burgers and Chops we have or own set of misfits. Timmy White on the grill, Donny White, Jimmy White, Adam White , Craig Bonifas and Julio (Gravy Boat). Thank you for giving up one Tuesday Night each month to help out the club.

Additional Thank You Alert! Thank you to Mr. Ray Melby for all your help, support and constant repair work at the club along with your fix it partner John Hettinger. Thank you to Donny White for lawn maintenance throughout the grass growing season. Thank you to Dan Duncomb for your TV help and tech experience. Thank you to Marge and John Stumpf for your efforts in keep the patio area cleaned and neat. People really enjoy our outdoor area but we really wish smokers would use the ash trays available and not though butts on the ground.

Any member who comes up to enjoy our Fish Fry on Fridays probably knows that we always try to have desserts available for a dollar each. Many do not know that Sue Moga’s Family makes desserts for the club every 3rd Friday of the month. They have been doing home made desserts for several years now and members must love them because there are never any left over. A sincere thank you to the Moga Family for helping out the club.

SincerelyCraig F. Bonifas

Club President

COMING ATTRACTIONS CASINO BUS TRIP IN MARCHHEADS UP! Timmy White is trying to put together a Bus Trip for the weekend of March 25th and 26th to Jumer’s Casino in Rock Island . This will be an overnight bus trip. A signup sheet will be posted on the bulletin board in the bar room when the details are finalized. The bus trip fills up fast and seats are limited so if you are interested a good idea would be to let Timmy know up front.

Don’t miss a place on the bus because you waited too long!

CLUB HOLIDAY TRADITIONSDECEMBER 4TH CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS PARTYOn Sunday December the 4th the club will hold its annual children’s Christmas Party. A long standing holiday staple at the club. Many adult members can remember coming to the party as children and now bring their own kids. Doors will open at noon for the Christmas Party. Pizzas and appetizers will be available along with a club provided lunch for the kids. Entertainment will include, The Little People who are a couple of Santa’s elves who come down from the north poll to say hello and sing a few songs. Mrs. Santa will also be stopping by to read the poem night before Christmas aka A Visit from St Nicholas. Then Jolly ol Saint Nick himself will make an entrance to visit with the children and hand out gifts. Bring the kids and your camera for this photo opportunity. The Christmas Party is for the children 10 and under of Members only and they must be preregistered by the Turkey Raffle on November 1st . As a side note there will be no TVs on in the dining room from noon until the party is over with. This is a party for the children but football games will be on in the bar room.

CHRISTMAS EVE LUNCH BUFFETThe holidays are all about traditions and our Christmas Eve Lunch Buffet is yet another. Please come up for a nice buffet lunch with your family and friends and enjoy a fine holiday time. Buffet time is from 11:30am till 2pm. The cost is $8.00 per adult. The club closes at 6pm on Christmas Eve.

CHRISTMAS MORNING TOM & JERRY’SChristmas morning Tom & Jerry’s are yet another long standing tradition for our club. In fact I believe we are the last club in this area to prepare and serve them. If you’ve never tried one before this is your chance. Doors open at 9am until noon and we will have the cinnamon and nutmeg out for you. Please join us Christmas Morning and God bless us….every one.

THE PHOENIX CLUB ON NEW YEARS EVEYes, we are planning a New Years Eve party this year. We will be having a diner and a band. However I must apologize for lack of detailed information yet. All I can ask is that you plan to spend the evening with us and that I will have the information ready soon. I will post it in the club, on facebook and we will send out an email blast.

PURCHASE PHOENIX CLUB FOOD CERTIFICATESA NICE GIFT FOR THE HOLIDAYSA lot of people don’t know that we sell Gift Certificates for food at the club. Call them Phoenix Bucks and they make a good stocking stuffer for your hard to buy for Phoenix Club Members. They come in $5 increments and you can purchase as many as you like through our bar manager. They are good for lunch, dinner, appetizers and our pizzas. Get some for the holidays as gifts.

BEARS TAILGATE PARTY9:00AM TILL GAME TIME @ NOONPopeye/Yogi & Company have 3 more Chicago Bears Tailgate Parties set up this football season. The first being Sunday November 20th when the Bears play the New York Giants. The second is Sunday December 18th When Green Bay comes to town and the third on New Years Day when the Bears go to Minnesota to play the Vikings. Tailgate parties are a great way to watch a game with other Bears fans…..even when we don’t have much to cheer for. The grill is hot and the food is always good and plenty. Bring a dish to share along 10 bucks and we’ll set you up at the bar with draft beer, screw drivers and bloody marys. $15 for those who bring no food and just wish to come and enjoy.
