124 Pike Street Clarksburg, WV 26301 304 622 7231 We are looking forward to another exciting year for the Mason Dixon Conference. This year s guests of honor are Grand Worthy President Elect Elwin Bud Haigh Three Rivers Aerie #2303 Three Rivers, Michigan and Grand Madam President Elect Gloria Mason, Vincennes Auxiliary #384, Indiana. The dates are Friday April 4 & Saturday April 5, 2014. Mark your calendars for these dates and come out to meet and greet our next Grand Worthy & Grand Madam Presidents. Over the course of this year, the Mason Dixon conference officers and State representatives has met with this year s Host Clarksburg Aerie #2353 officers for the first set up meeting. Chairman Robbie reviewed the contract with the host Aerie officers and all is in order for said conference. We are planning another meeting the first of March to finalize all and to make sure all is in order. Our meeting went so well only one more get together will be needed. Some of us may arrive on Thursday evening, and others on Friday morning to begin setting up the room and be ready for our event when we will begin on Friday. The hours for this Mason Dixon Conference will be: Friday April 4, 2014 beginning approx 12:00 PM (or as people arrive) until close. Saturday April 5, 2014 we will resume fund raising at 9:00 AM and will continue throughout the day, with the exception of breaking long enough for our annual meeting. Clarksburg Aerie # 2353 will have food available at all times. As in the past on these two days, we do what we Eagles do best having fun and promoting our motto, People Helping People. As always we need to work on DONATIONS!!! Any Aerie/Auxiliary or any individual wishing to donate items to chance off, please get in touch with your state representatives or contact Maryon Phillips, 304 738 3667. As we know, the various baskets are always a big hit. Let s see if we can outdo ourselves this year. Any checks that are donated please make them payable to the Mason Dixon Conference. At the end of the conference we will in turn write our incoming GP s a check to them. We need items to donate for our auctions! Please note due to the gambling laws in West Virginia and local gaming laws of Clarksburg, we will become more creative in ways to raise the much needed funds. Tip jars, cards, all tip boards and such will not be allowed. We are working on various ways to raise the funds and still have lots of fun. We will be doing the Balloons this year. If you could bring items to donate that we can use as the balloon prizes, that would be very helpful. In fact, if possible, would you send Robbie and email letting him know how many donated items, so we can prepare the balloons for the fun. We will need to print out strips of paper with the Winner on it to insert into the balloon. Other strips will not say winner. Balloons will go for a $1.00 donation. If you have some ideas in which we can raise funds without the use of tip jars, tip boards or that type of gaming, please forward you ideas on to Robbie or Jeff. See emails below. On Saturday morning we break for a short meeting at 11:00 AM to conduct business. At this time we elect new officers and State representatives and set plans for next years conference. Anyone interested in holding an office please be present or write a letter stating your interest.
We need letters from each interested Aerie that would consider hosting 2015 s Mason Dixon conference. Each year we also pay tribute to our deceased Eagle brothers & sisters with a Memorial Service that the Host Aerie will conduct. The banquet takes place on Saturday night; the cost is $15.00 per person. Please make your reservations early so the Host Aerie will know exactly how much food to prepare.
