Marcus has been a regular attendant at El Dora flying eagles river weekend. He also has been a regular participant in the El Orchard Whiffle League, including last year championship where his rhinos lost the three game series two to one. He has committed to the Flying Eagles Flag Football program for the summer. He also wanted me to mention he is an argan donor.
He was part of the origanal Flying Eagles, president of the Des Moines Chapter, as well a review baord member since 06.
How he got the nickname "Jim". Marcus is a life long siants fan. (finally paying off). On of there coachs was Jim Haslett. During one of many Madden football game franchise played n college. His buddies started calling him Jim because he chose the Saints and the name stuck. Marcus and the Vikings of Grand View beat St. Ambrose on Saturday to start with one win and one loss in conference play. They play on Wednesday and Saturday stop byand catch a game if you can.
Offical flying Eagle Matterssomething we need to vote on.
first checking the archives their was a amendment to be voted on to be added to the stay in touch phone clause that never went to vote. It was purposed by Zach Letzring and now will get the attention it deserved.
Zach Letzing proposal
I have called Kyle I think 50 - 75 times without a return phone call so I would like to propose an amendment to the calling rule a point A if you will.
A. The person making the call and not getting a hold of said member can leave a message or not leave a message.
B. Leave a message the person should expect a 3 day call back
C. Do not leave a message the person should expect a week callback
Z. Letzring
Regional President Indianola/Hanover Chapter.
Klye Johnson who was charge with being a bad caller back responded with a change of Zach's proposal
Dear Mr. Ring,
That is a surefire way to get me kicked out Fesc. Therefore I cast a resounding nay. However, i understand the purpose and reasoning for such an amendment and would like to suggest more lenient guidelines. Such as 5 days and then a week and a half. I could live with that. I will, however, abide by the ruling of the ever judicious FESC.
You can either cast a vote for Zach's 3 days or week, or Kyles 5 days or week and half, or you can say no to both and keep as is.

The final Egg
next month's new's letter will contain mission(s) statements to better display and outline what kind of life a flying eagle should lead. you can submitt application to jpderryberry@hotmail.com. Just a reminder that we will review new applicants on a month to month basis, so again please submit any new members applicants to the same email above. Voting on all the matters mentioned above will be one week. Good luck to the new applicants.
Ok boys take a gander at this and tell me what you think. On the left are business cards front and back and the letterhead to print newsletters on and then finally the envelope to mail the letter in. I put the cedar falls address on there since that's where our vice and "acting" president is. I am pretty happy with the way these turned out. simple yes, but very good looking what we here in the club are all about. So once we get the ok from the president then we will get these made up.
