The heart of an eagle...Eastern Eagle.

1/30/2018

I am so proud to be part of this amazing organization with extraordinary men like this blazing the trails in the name of the Eastern Band.
John Meyer is still the heartbeat of our band. He hand crafted this exquisite memorial steel plaque with the help of Phil Lazrovitch in honor of Ralph Christy VFW Middletown, who recently passed away due to cancer. The plaque is complete with a thank you note written on the back. Ralph was a key person in getting the VFW Post to donate their hall for the Band trivia nights. Pictured below is: John Meyer (Band Parent Alumni and Props guru), Sue Christy, (Treasurer, VFW Middletown), and Jamie Sims (Past EHS Band Parent President).
An Eagle never forgets...

When life gives you lemons, throw them back and demand chocolate, but only the World's Finest Chocolate is good enough for you!
This sweet fundraiser officially kicks off on February 5th. You can sell choco-lot or sell choco-little, but please sell the World's Finest Chocolate for the band.

Things are about to get DICEY!
It's time to let down your hair, pull up a chair, and Bunco!
It's okay though because what happens at Bunco stays at Bunco.

What a Coolio event!
Bunco night...Just another day in a pair of dice!
Grab the gang and head over to St. Paul's Episcopal Church on Friday, January 26th and you won't let your Guard down. You would have to be blind to not see that this is the perfect evening for you and me.
