“We are currently enrolling students in our After School Program,” said Bob Robinson, Program Coordinator. “Our goal is to make sure we have no waiting list this year… this donation goes a long way to helping us reach that goal.”

“We support a wide variety of nonprofit community service organizations,” Erica Price, Eagles treasurer, said. “This one is especially important because the kids we’re helping are our future.”

Membership in the Eagles is open to the public. Applications can be obtained at 113 E. Third Street. The organization also provides a variety of services and events to the public, including daily breakfast and lunch.
