Special Announcement 

Attention to All Eagle Members 

Our Aerie at the Irish Hills Eagles is a growing and advancing Club adding new events and many activities on a regular basis.

 We always have a need for a wide range of volunteers to reach out to help in the work we do here at the Eagles.

You can help with various committees for upcoming events or the many dinners we offer as well as our regular Sunday Breakfast.

We extend an open invitation to all members here at the club to become more involved and participating in the club activities. Have the joy of helping others and the rewards of making new friends.

We have two membership meetings a month. The Aerie and Auxiliary both meet on the first and third Thursday of every month. Please try to attend and keep updated and informed on things happening here at the club. Attending even one meeting a month could be a worthy goal.

All members have the privilege and the right to attend these meetings.  Your presence and input and even voting on various subjects and motions is something all members can share as one club. Your voices, opinions and views are something that is needed at these meetings. Fresh and young ideas and suggestions will help our club become stronger and grow to continue on the path of success for all future generations.
