PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE – AT
CHRISTMASTIME
Once again, as Eagles members, we have the
opportunity to live up to our motto “People Helping People.” Our role in the community is to help others,
and we are fortunate to have the ability to reach out to different communities
and help where we can. This year we have
several options for giving:
CHRISTMAS GIVING TREE - Thanks to Lisa Jensen, we will once again
have a Christmas Giving Tree and provide holiday happiness for local needy
families. Lisa will hang tags on the
tree with items you can provide, or you can donate cash. Please bring your unwrapped gifts or cash to
the club by Wednesday, December 18.
Questions? Contact Lisa at
206-660-4117.
OPERATION BROWN BAG CHRISTMAS – For the second year in
a row, Candy and her 10-year old son, Blake, will be joining the efforts of a
grassroots movement to share the Christmas spirit with the homeless in our
communities. Hundreds of bags will be
filled with food, warm socks, gloves, hygiene products, handmade holiday cards
and more. Volunteers from Bellingham to Seattle will deliver them
to people living on the street. A box
and list of items will be at the Eagles through Friday, December 20 or you can view
the list, volunteer for an event or donate funds to purchase items at http://operationbrownbagchristmas.com.
BLANKET & COAT DRIVE – There is a large bin
at the entrance to the club for donations of blankets and coats. These items are greatly needed, especially
with the cold weather we’re already having!
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR
GENEROSITY!!
ATTENTION – CHANGE IN
MEETING DATE
Please note that the first meetings of the month for
the Trustees, Auxiliary and Aerie will be held on TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3 instead
of Monday, December 2. This is due to
the huge Seahawks game on Monday, and because we want to have everyone’s full
attention at the monthly meetings on Tuesday!!
So, enjoy the game on Monday, but be sure to attend the meetings on Tuesday
too!!
NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY!!
Welcome in the new year
with your fellow Eagles members. Tickets
are now available for $25 per person for the annual New Year’s Eve party. A delicious ham dinner will be served at 6 p.m., followed by dance music by “Kickin’ Dust.”
You’ll also get party favors, champagne and a continental breakfast
after midnight. If you plan to arrive after 9 p.m., tickets will be $15 per

great time will be had by all!!
