Brothers and Sisters, 

Ever had the urge to cook for a crowd? If so, your opportunity is here! 

We have a new volunteer position of Cook's Assistant.  It takes a lot of hands to prepare all the food for the steam table and to keep up with orders coming in.  You don't need cooking experience -- just the ability to follow instructions, work as part of a team, and have fun.  

If you are interested, please see the bar tender or email trustees@foe871.com

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,
