Thanks to everyone who participated Sunday in the Bubba Merker Walk to raise money for heart disease research.  We have collected about $7500 to date. What a great example of living up to our motto  -- People Helping People.

The Board appreciates the efforts of all members who work to make 871 a great Aerie.

Brothers and Sisters,

We have been invited to the Alexandria Aces baseball game on Sunday, June 25th which is Fraternal Order of Eagles Day. They will be playing at Frank Mann Field.

 The Aces team is donating 20 tickets to our members and their families. If you are not familiar with the Alexandria Aces they are a charitable organization made up of collegiate baseball players from across the country. They are housed here locally with families and are provided with uniforms, equipment, meals and the opportunity to play here in Alexandria, hoping they are scouted to play professionally.

 If you wish to participate, please reply to this email. Tickets will be distributed on a first come first serve basis.

 Thank you, 

Dee Dee Hodge

Worthy Secretary 

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

This is no April Fool's joke -- we're serving our 14-ounce ribeye steaks with all the trimmings this Friday from 5:30-7:30 for just $25.  In observance of Good Friday, we will be offering a baked fish option. Price TBD.  Come and enjoy a good meal and maybe help out for an hour by setting up the tables, serving meals or cleaning up afterwards.
