A quick note on parking... Beginning Monday, November 30, 2015 there will be no parking at the Polish Falcons facility.  This includes in front of the doors of the garage to the north of our building on Lane. There will be construction workers, equipment including scaffolding, tools, materials and dumpsters on-site. This process could last until the new year. Please find alternate parking locations so that you do not interfere with the construction process or potentially cause damage.

For those who did not receive this email, please see below - there is a special meeting coming up on Tuesday, December 8 at 7:30 p.m.  Attendance is very important for all members!

A short recap of our mandatory joint meeting in Aug. of this year, the membership that was present (64 male members, and 20 Women’s auxiliary members)  made a very clear statement to the Board that they wanted to save the current building and wanted us to proceed with the exterior repairs that were required by The City of Grand Rapids.

Your Board has been pursuing this goal and has gotten the approval from the City, to have installed, cement board siding. We have purchased the materials and have entered into a contract with a professional siding contractor to have the product installed.

The cost of this project has greatly exceeded our original projections of $35,000 - $40,000.00. The current projected cost is $55,000.00.

Our current financial situation will allow us to pay $40,000.00 towards this cost. This will leave approx. $20,000.00 for operating costs which is the absolute minimum we need to keep our club functional.

We have asked the Women’s Auxiliary to contribute to this cause as well.

WE ARE CRITICALLY SHORT OF FUNDS. YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOUR HELP.

The Board is now asking for your financial support to cover this shortfall.

Please attend this meeting with an open mind and financial support. (Early payment of dues will be appreciated). We are required by The City of Grand Rapids to complete this project, and you have expressed your desire to do the same. WE ARE MOVING FORWARD FOR THE FUTURE OF THE POLISH FALCONS AID SOCIETY.

  

Sincerely,

The Polish Falcon’s Board of Directors
