Messages from our 2019-2020

Deer Valley #3871 Presidents

From: Worthy President

Pete MacKinnon: Brothers and Sisters DV Eagles 3871: I was going to dedicate my letter to the need

to show respect and appreciation for all of

those who volunteer to cook and serve us

food, but I will save that for another time.

Instead, I would like to focus on the time or

lack thereof that we spend with our loved

ones.

I lost my beloved Mother, Colette MacKinnon,

in the early morning hours of October 13th.

There were some things left unsaid and that's

something I will to live with for the rest of my

life. My mom was a truly wonderful and

caring woman and I should have spent more

time with her the last few years of her life.

That being said, I know she left this earth

knowing I loved her very much and

appreciated all she did for me to make me

the man I am today.

I implore you to take the time, as

inconvenient as it might be, to spend time

with those you care about and tell them how

much you love them.

In closing, I would like to leave you,

paraphrasing, a part of my mom's favorite

speech by the late Jim Valvano.

There are 3 things we all should do every

day. 1st, cry. Something should bring a tear

to your eye. 2nd, laugh. We all need a good

laugh every day. 3rd, think. Something in

your day should make you really sit down and

think. So, there you have it. Cry, laugh and

think. You do those 3 things, then that is a full

day. Something to ponder when life seems to

bring you down.

Your Aerie President, Pete MacKinnon

From: Madam President

Lisa Crockett:

Brothers and Sisters:

I’d like to send my condolences out to the

MacKinnon family. Sorry Pete!

Just wanted to thank everyone for your love

and support for Hospice of the Valley. We

made over $5,400.00 in September. I am

sending that check to Grand and applying for

a Grant towards H.O.V too. GO TEAM

#3871.

November did not have a charity of the

month. We have people stepping up for

charities like Children’s X-Mas Party,

Alzheimer’s and for Animal Lovers too.

Come and check out all the delicious dinners

on Saturday’s. Bands on the 16th and 23rd.

Hope everyone has a safe and Happy

Thanksgiving!!

Special Message From Your Officers:

We would like to thank all the volunteers who

worked so hard on the many potluck’s and

social events we have throughout the year.

We are very discouraged by the participation

of our Eagle Brothers and Sisters. We have

had many events this year so far, most of

them free to everyone, the only thing asked

of those attending was to bring a side dish or

desert. There must have been 75 – 100

people in the social room during these

events, and only 7 to 10 people bring a side

dish. Now friends, even if you can’t cook, or

bake, there are several grocery stores plus a

dollar store in the area that have a deli, a

bakery, fresh vegetables, etc. We know a lot

of you work and can’t prepare food but,

nothing said you couldn’t prepare something

the night before or something in a crockpot!

It is sad to see that the ones who do

participate are the same ones every time

there is a special function, and yet the ones

who bring NOTHING are the first ones to go

up and get food. Is this fair to the rest of the

people who took the time to bring something?

You could have brought rolls from the dollar

store, a veggie tray, fruit tray, chips, pie,

cake, cookies, they are already prepared for

you at the store.

Please people, let’s get together as a family,

like we used to do, there was always more

food than the group could eat. We feel if you

can sit and drink, you should be able to afford

a side dish, correct us if we are wrong, but

we don’t think so. Everyone thinks someone

else is going to bring something and then no

one brings anything.

Submitted by the Officers of Deer Valley

Eagles 3871.

Thanksgiving Potluck: Come join your Eagle’s family for our annual

Thanksgiving potluck. Thursday 11/28 at 2:00

p.m. Turkey prepared by the Trustees bring a

dish to share.

AERIE TRUSTEE’S SUGGESTION BOX

The Trustees don’t mind helping when it

comes to getting suggestions in the

Suggestion Box, located in the rear hallway,

next to the Trustee’s Office. OH, please

sign your complaint, situation, incident or

suggestion if you wish to hear a response to

it. We have received several suggestions

and good ones too and we can’t respond to

them because they were not signed.

Thank You.

A Touch of Life

Petey came home from school with another

black eye. “Have you been fighting again?”

his mother asked him.

“I’m sorry, Mom,” he replied.

“I told you the next time you lost your temper,

you should count to ten.”

“I did,” said Petey. “But Jimmy’s mom told

him to only count to five, so he hit me first.”

TOUCH OF LIFE

A husband raced into his house. “I’ve found a

great job!” he exclaimed to his wife. “The pay

is incredible, they offer free medical

insurance, and give three weeks’ vacation!

“That’s does sound wonderful,” said the wife.

“I’m glad you think so,” replied her husband.

“You start tomorrow.”

On the way to preschool, the doctor let his

daughter look at his stethoscope. His little

daughter picked it up and began playing with

it. This thrilled the father as he thought,

Perhaps one day she will follow in my

footsteps and become a doctor.

But then he heard her as she spoke into the

instrument, “Welcome to McDonald’s. May I

take your order?”

Touch of HUMOR

A man applied for a job at a construction firm.

“We take turns making the coffee,” said the

foreman, “Do you know how to make coffee?”

“I sure do,” said the applicant.

“And can you drive a forklift?”

“Why? Just how big is the coffee maker?”

A Touch of Humor

A Kindergarten teacher was having a difficult

time putting each child’s boots on after a very

rainy morning. After some hard tugging, she

finally to Barry’s on his feet when he said,

“These aren’t mine.”

The frustrated teacher had to pull hard to

remove them from the little lad’s feet. She sat

down next o him and asked, “So whose boots

are these?” Barry answered, “They’re my

brother’s but my mom lets me wear them.”

School is back in session PLEASE

drive carefully!
