California Eagles Aerie 4027
The California Eagles Aerie 4027 has had a busy year recovering from the fire that destroyed their building in 2018. With the help of many members and the community, they are nearing completion of a new facility on the same ground at 314 N. High. The Fraternal Order of the Eagles is an international non-profit organization, who unite fraternally in the spirit of liberty, truth, justice, and equality, to make human life more desirable by lessening its ills and by promoting peace, prosperity, gladness and hope. The California Eagles have been very generous when helping those in distress and in need during difficult situations such as fires, illness, and injuries. They have a bicycle program, refurbishing bikes for children and adult transportation. The Ladies Auxiliary is very supportive of the organization, as well. Recently, they provided backpacks to the local school to be distributed to children who did not have them. Thank you to the California Eagles Aerie 4027 for your generosity and kindness shown to our community. We are proud to have you as Chamber members! If you are interested in joining, please contact any Eagles member.
