Just want to take some time to recognize our CORE OF VOLUNTEERS, who so faithfully work in the background, helping to make a success of all the activities that go on in our building. Gals & guys who peel the potatoes, cook & serve the food, wash the dishes, do the laundry, clean the floors, do the shopping, do some baking, cater at functions, order the supplies, pay the bills, mow the lawns, fix the electronics, setup (& take down) event tables & seats, repair structural maintenance, chair committees, deal with donated pop/liquor bottles, etc., etc. Without your hard work & dedication, our Eagle Club would eventually fail. We salute you all & are so proud of the silent, behind the scenes work you do, to make our our Eagle Club shine within this Community we live in. CONGRATULATIONS ON A JOB WELL DONE … YOU ARE OUR HEROS!! Anyone interested in joining this elite group please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Franco at 3097email@gmail.com
