Help needed this weekend!

Posted by Chris Wunsch on October 5, 2023 at 11:37am
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
 
We need more people to help us with our Friday night dinner and Sunday morning breakfast. Remember our only paid staff are the bartenders.   As a member organization, we depend on everyone to donate a little of their time in order to hold the events we all enjoy.  Otherwise we will have to cancel them.
 
Please look at your schedule and see where you can help. Volunteering is a great way to meet and get to know your Eagle brothers and sisters!

Upcoming events as of 10/2/2023

Posted by Chris Wunsch on October 2, 2023 at 6:09pm
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
 
Plan on spending a lot of time at the Rathskeller this week enjoying good food and good friends.
 
On Friday, October 6, from 5:30-7:30 we will be serving our delicious 14-ounce ribeye steak dinner with baked potato, tossed salad, and more for just $25.  Get together with a friend and sign up for an one-hour work shift setting up, delivering meals, or cleaning up.
 
Come back on Sunday, October 8, from 9:00-11:00 for a great Bloody Mary breakfast.  You get eggs and pancakes cooked to order along with a long list of side dishes for $12.  Sides include bacon, sausage, hash browns, creamed chipped beef, sausage gravy, grits, scrapple, biscuits, and puffs.
 
***We really need folks to step up to the plate Sunday because we will be without our superstar volunteers, Dwight Barnes and Barbara Peyton.  Please follow this link to set up tables, deliver meals, or wash dishes.
 
The Board of Trustees appreciates everyone who has volunteered in the past and those who continue to do so.

NFL Sundays and BMB 10/8

Posted by Chris Wunsch on September 25, 2023 at 11:57am
Just a reminder, we have the Sunday NFL package on our six TVs.  Come cheer on your favorite NFL team and join your brothers and sisters for a day of football, fellowship and food.  But we still need cooks to volunteer.  Pick a Sunday and make your favorite tailgate food to share. Sign up sheet is on the post by the bar.
 
And, finally, remember there will be no Friday night meal and the Bloody Mary breakfast has been moved to next Sunday, October 8.
 
The Board appreciates all who have volunteered in the past and those who continue to do so.

FOE 871 Picnic 9/30/2023

Posted by Chris Wunsch on September 25, 2023 at 11:52am
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
 
Our Annual Picnic is this Saturday, September 30, from 12:00-5:00 at Fort Hunt Park, Pavilion B, off the George Washington Parkway.  Join us for hamburgers, hot dogs, steak bites, potato salad, chips, beer, wine, soda, and more.  Please bring a side dish or dessert if you can.  We will have raffles, corn hole, t-shirts for sale, and games for the children.  Free to members --  bring your membership card -- and $10 for guests.
 
The picnic is a really fun event, but it takes lots of hands to pull it off.  We need help loading the trucks starting at 10:00 at the Aerie.  Once we're at the park, we need people to set up the food and drink tables; grillmasters to cook dogs, burgers and steak bites; and then to pack up the trucks at 5:00 to return to the Aerie.  
 
The Rathskeller will be closed during the picnic. 
Please see the signup volunteer link on the events page.
