YOUR VOTE COUNTS !!
On Monday, October 7th at the 7pm Aerie Meeting a vote will be taken to spend approx. $30k to replace our 15 ton air conditioner unit which is over 20 years old !!!! You MUST be present to vote …. And don’t forget to bring your current Aerie #3296 membership card !!! Since the unit is above the men’s restroom, the Aerie may have to close for a few days if approved.
In addition to this very important vote on Monday, October 7th, the 1st of 3 readings of an Aerie #3296 By-Law Amendment will take place …. The amendment will read to increase the Aerie membership dues from $45 to $50 per year due to the Grand Aerie approving their Per Capita increase from $12 per year to $20 effective June 1st, 2025. With their increase being $8, our dues are being proposed to only increase $5 per year per member at this time. At the 1st & 2nd (October 21st) readings there will be NO discussion, but at the 3rd reading on November 4th, there will be time for discussion and the vote will be taken at that meeting. There must be a two-thirds majority voting YES for the Amendment to pass.
