Meet our club’s employees
It’s always nice to
recognize the folks that work for us in making our club a pleasure to
visit. So starting with
this issue and moving forward there will be a new face recognized in
each issue for what they do for us.
Starting off with our bartenders.
Karen Tibbetts
Karen

In 2018 she became full time day steward M-F, currently doing the
ordering, booking the hall rentals and the pull-tab bookwork. She has
made a lot of friends and co-workers now and misses the ones that are
gone. “Great place to come

Say Hello to Karen when visiting and let her know what a great
job she is doing.

Murder-Mystery
Night
Back when Dennis
Arsenault was with us, Dennis and I used to talk about new ideas about
different types of entertainment we could do at the club. In his memory
I would like to try one of those ideas by having an evening dinner with
a Murder Mystery. We are
looking to do a trial run to see interest and look to see if maybe this
could work as a fund raiser with audience participation. We have a
Murder-Mystery script, “Murder on a train”.
In the coldest month of 1933, somewhere near the Austrian border,
passengers aboard the Simpleton-Orient Express experience a murder that
will change their lives forever! But who killed mysterious stranger John
Doe?
Due to the
weather the Jan 7 meeting was rescheduled for Sunday January 14 at 2 pm.
I would like to see everyone looking to be involved in this event to
either attend this meeting or touch base with me within the next week to
go over roles and answer any questions that may come up.
I have handouts that explains
the roles, costumes and how the game works. We still have a few roles to
fill and set a date for the event. As of now we are looking at Sunday
February 18 in the Function Hall and will finalize within the next week.
As for the meal we are doing pot luck or $5 donation. We are looking for
an audience to see if we can involve them in figuring out who done it
and vote on the cast for Best Costume, Best Acting, Best Detective and
Best Ad-Libs.
If interested but cannot make
the meeting, you can still get involved by contacting myself, Fred Allen
at the club, by email:
RumfordAerie1248@gmail.com
or by cell 207-418-4463 or
contact Paula Chase at the club
Each one of us has
some skill that we can give back to the club.
When in the building, take a look around and make note of areas
that could use work and where you might be able to help us out. We are
always in need for folks to help in the kitchen and clean up after
events. We need people who are interested in being on our committees to
plan events. If you are
interested in getting involved and would like to help us out, join us on
meeting nights and we can talk about it.
The Aerie is now
holding their meeting at 6:30 and the Auxiliary holding their meeting at
7:00 pm. Membership bi-monthly meetings being held with the Auxiliary
having the first and third Wednesdays and the Aerie holding its meetings
on the second and fourth Wednesdays. The fourth Wednesday is new member
initiation night and as an added incentive to attend the meeting a light
meal is prepared for the new members and meeting attendees.
Also 50/50 and $50 gift card drawing each Aerie meeting. This
Club belongs to its members and this is the forum where members can get
to know the inner workings of the club and have a voice on concerns.
All our expenses are brought up on the floor and need to be
approved by the membership for purchase or services.
Steps to becoming a new member need to be voted on by the
membership along with reports from the Committees, Trustees, Treasurer &
Secretary that all need to be OKed. Hope to see you there.
