FLYING HIGH

The Annual Tri-Lakes Aerie 4279 Eagles Benefit Auction was on Saturday afternoon, Feb. 3, at the El Dorado Springs Eagles Club. It was another record setting benefit of over $15,000 that went to The Hope Center, our local food pantry. Several businesses and individuals donated items for the auction. There were gift certificates, KC Chiefs sports items, cement feed bunks, homemade deserts and goodies, as well as monetary donations. The Auxiliary ladies sold noon lunch and donated the proceeds. Members sold raffle tickets for a Henry Golden Boy Rifle and that money also went to the benefit. Jim Simrell was the winner of the rifle.

Thank you to all the Eagle and Auxiliary members for helping with this annual project.  A big Thanks to the community for the support. It was a huge success.
