CHRISTMAS GIVING

Once again Eagles members stepped up to the Eagles motto of “people helping people” by giving generously at Christmas time.  Many thanks to everyone who donated the coats and blankets that were handed out to homeless individuals during Operation Brown Bag Christmas.

The response to the Christmas Giving Tree was outstanding.  Lisa Jensen appreciated all the wonderful gifts that were donated for several needy families in Redmond.  Your generosity and support made their Christmas really joyful!

 “Thank you to everyone who donated to Operation Brown Bag Christmas.  On Saturday, December 21, over 1000 bags were filled for the homeless with food, socks, gloves, toiletries, handmade Christmas cards and all the coats and blankets that were donated here at the Eagles.  A lot of love and the joy of giving happened that day!  We appreciate you! “    Candy & Blake Marshall

THANKSGIVING DINNER A GREAT SUCCESS!!
