Christmas Party 2019
Co-Chairpersons Debbie Powell and Kathy Hare reported that 66 children attended the Annual Children’s Party, sponsored by the Aerie and Auxiliary of the Fraternal Order of Eagles in Cresaptown. To the delight of the children, Santa arrived on the fire truck of the Cresaptown Volunteer Department. They visited with Santa, wrote him letters, viewed a model train display, made crafts, received a lunch of pizza, and a stocking filled with goodies to take home. Part of the day’s activities included sending a letter of thanks to our troops for their service to our Country. Thirty –seven letters were sent to military personnel serving in Afghanistan. The above picture is some of the children and parents visiting Santa and his Elf.

October 19Awesome...not only did the Aerie vote to provide the hall, food and donated $125 to sponsor a kid to ensure they have a Merry Christmas with partnering with the Annual Shop with a Cop!! Even better the Eagle Riders donated $125 and the Aux volunteered to help with the cooking and in addition donated $125 for a child and an addition $120 for gift bags with one newly installed Aux member donating money out of her pocket for gift bags. Another fine example what us Cresaptown Brothers and Sisters are People Helping People.
