Have you ever volunteered for some job, and after you did it, you were really proud of yourself? Go to the Eagles on Friday evening for their delicious steak/chicken dinner and all the trimmings, believe me you will not be disappointed.

This meal is prepared and set up by volunteers. Greg and his staff in the kitchen work very hard to give you the best, these people are all volunteer members. Alphonso, Adolph  Arnie, and Gary work hard at the bar area, making sure things run smooth, again volunteer members. The ladies of the Auxiliary, Ruth, Helen, Mary  Ann, and Adella who work faithfully at all the functions, selling tickets for this event or  a dinner dance, also  member volunteers.

Many  members at the Eagles go beyond the call of duty, coming after work, giving up a lot of  tv time or missing watching their children's sporting events. Does being a volunteer require a special drive in oneself? I do know one thing about people who volunteer for whatever the cause, are very generous in life and in giving. I've only named a fraction of volunteer members but I know  to make the Eagles run so well, it takes a lot of hands.
