We capped 2018 with a super Christmas party at a new location- Aviator’s
Restaurant, Executive Airport. We had 52 attendees and many helpers,
Rueanna and Jeannie did their usual extra cheery gift wrappings. Our
cost was $20 after a $3/member assist from our account. Two members had
to cancel due to medical emergencies. A refund check was returned to one
and not cashed. He insisted we keep it as a donation. For our second
absentee, Rueanna brought him a take home box. A third member donated
$250 via Gray Eagles to Shriner’s Hospital, Sacramento- his 4th or 5th
time. Our account stands at $208.49. Phil Jordan gave us music again and
exhibited the Christmas Dickensonian dolls his mother made ~ 1958.
Cornball was awarded to Dwight Davis- our bad joke king, Spark Plug
awarded to Chaplain John Kent for benedictions at meetings and his
special notes to our newsletter. 2018 President Dr. Larry Berry was
recognized with a certificate of appreciation New officers were sworn in
for 2019- the 30th year for Gray Eagles, with Phil Jordan President and
Mel Boyd Vice President. Many thanks to webmaster Harlan Hatfield,
Program Chair Ray Kinney, and editor of our gold standard newsletter,
Bill Tharratt. You keep us airborne! Photos follow. Exalted Treasurer, Lou Maucieri.
