For many years, Roseau Eagles Aerie and Auxiliary #3882 has served an annual Christmas Day Dinner they call “Do Not Spend Christmas Day Alone.” Typically, they prepare the meal as a sit-down dinner, but changed the service to carryout in 2020 due to the ongoing pandemic.

Middleburg, Florida - December 2020

The Orange Park Aerie #4365 recently donated $750 to the Special Olympics Clay Rebels Cheerleaders. This Cheerleading Squad supports the Special Olympics and provides a great sense of sportsmanship to its members, athletes and the community. With COVID-19, the Squad has had difficulty raising funds to purchase necessary equipment. Aerie #4365 was honored to help these athletes obtain what was required. Best of all, the funds helped them attend a recent competition where they won 1st place and now have the opportunity to attend their national competition.
