Eagles says ‘Thank
You’ to members
Greenville Eagles 2177 held its annual “Thank You” picnic for members
recently at beautiful Eagles Shade Road Park to show appreciation for
their support in a variety of community activities throughout the year.
The most volunteer intensive event sponsored by FOE 2177 is the Annual
Independence Day Celebration, in which more than 3,000 area residents
and visitors enjoyed two days of music and family events, culminating
in the largest fireworks celebration in the area.
“It could not have been done without the help of our members,” said
Steffanie Baker, Worthy President. “Aerie and Auxiliary volunteers put
in hundreds of hours preparing for and hosting the event,” she added.
The member picnic is one of several annual events the Lodge sponsors
for its membership, providing free food and beverages for an afternoon
of fellowship. Others include a Thanksgiving Dinner for members with no
immediate families in the area, plus an annual Christmas Party. Aerie
officers also host an annual Christmas Party for its employees, and the
Lodge brings Santa in from the North Pole once a year to hand out toys
and candy to member children and grandchildren.
Through the support of Lodge membership, the Eagles is able to provide
scholarship support to member children and grandchildren and make
donations to a variety of worthy organizations, such as the Darke
County Cancer Association, Shriners Burn Hospitals, Darke County Humane
Society and others.
Adults over 21 can apply for membership at the downtown Lodge on Third
Street. The Eagles is open to the public daily until 1:30 p.m. for
breakfast and lunch.
