The Annual Tri-Lakes Aerie 4279 Eagles Benefit Auction was on Saturday afternoon, Feb. 4, at the El Dorado Springs Eagles Club. It was a record setting benefit of over $11,000 that went to The Hope Center, our local food pantry. Several local business and individuals made monetary donations or donated items for the auction. The ladies auxiliary sold noon lunch and donated those proceeds. Members sold raffle tickets for a 12-gauge shotgun and that money also went to the benefit. Ginger Nowak was the winner of the shotgun. Thanks to all the Eagle and auxiliary members for helping with this annual project. A big thanks to our community for the support. It was such a huge success!
