Ways to Support Your Local Aerie
As a result of COVID-19 restrictions, many Aeries throughout the Southeast are being forced to find ways to ensure appropriate funding, contribute to the community and charities, while keeping members connected and engaged. Remember, we are PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE. Be sure you are living up to that statement and remember why you became a member in the first place. Here are some ways you can help support your local Aerie during these trying times:
Donate
If your livelihood has not been impacted by the pandemic, it most likely means you are finding a little extra cash in your pockets. Send a small percentage of that extra cash to your Aerie. Every dollar counts! It doesn't have to be a restrictive amount; it can be as little as $5 - $10. Just think if we had 300 members who all sent in $10 a month, that would add up to $3K monthly - imagine how that could help the Aerie and the community. Our Aerie would greatly appreciate any donation received. So, please, let's everyone join together in an effort to do what we can to support our State of Florida Aeries, including our own Aerie #4365.

We all have things we are good at or enjoy doing; those talents could be put to good use around the club. Offer those talents to your local Aerie - get involved!
From Kitchen help to routine maintenance - from party planning to administrative tasks - it all functions on the generosity of volunteers. If we each took one hour out of our schedules to dedicate to the Aerie, we would have over 3,000 hours of volunteers to help perform tasks around the Aerie. It's all about "People Helping People." |
Be A Participant
|
Participate in the Events your local Aerie is currently hosting. Offer to help at such events - you would be surprised at how little effort would be required if more people became participants! Each Event you attend helps the Aerie do more at the club and in the community. Holiday Events always benefit the various charities we support. Applying the funds raised at these events ensures we are giving back to the community we live in. Meals purchases contribute to some of the great efforts of the Auxiliary like Breakfast With Santa and the other various charities it supports. Most importantly, the Events are just plain fun! So, come out, have a great time and help us help those who need it most!
