CHRISTMAS GIVING TREE A HUGE SUCCESS!

Many thanks to everyone who donated gifts and cash to the Giving Tree and to the ladies who helped wrap the many gifts!  It is an honor to be part of such a generous and giving club.  Because of the Redmond Eagles, two local families had amazing Christmas mornings.  Thanks!  Thea
