Membership
Aerie #281 is welcoming new members, and our President says so in print. If you have eaten here, you already know most of what membership involves: good people, a building worth keeping, and a year of work that puts money where it is needed.
Three simple steps
How to join us
-
Come to a meal
Friday fish fry from 4pm, Sunday breakfast from 8am, or whichever dinner is next on the calendar. Everyone is welcome to eat with us, and it is the easiest way to get a feel for the place.
-
Say you are interested
Tell whoever is behind the bar or serving. Every member knows how this works, and someone will introduce you to the Secretary, who looks after membership.
-
Come to a meeting
The Aerie meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month at 7:00pm, and the Auxiliary the same evenings at 7:30pm. Every member is welcome at a meeting, and that is where you will meet the people you will be working alongside.
Dues and the joining process are looked after by the Secretary. Call the club on (262) 633-1138 or email eaglesclub@wi.rr.com and ask - it is a short conversation.
Find the level that suits you
There is room for every kind of member
Some members chair a dinner, work the kitchen and are here most weeks. Others come for the fish fry, bring their family to a benefit, and enjoy the club as a place to be. Both are full members and both matter, because a dinner needs cooks and it needs a room full of people.
If you would like to give time, there is always something on. Every dinner on the calendar has a member running it, with a group behind them who cook, serve and clear, and help is welcome all year round.
- Help with, or chair, one of the monthly charity dinners
- Work the bar or the kitchen for a fish fry or a breakfast
- Help on a big weekend - the Fourth of July, the car show, the Zone Conference
Two bodies, one club
The Aerie and the Auxiliary
Auxiliary 281
Meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month at 7:30pm. President Elizabeth Felski. The Auxiliary runs the Christmas Bazaar and chairs several of the dinners on the calendar.
Common questions
Before you ask at the bar
Do I have to be a member to eat here?
Everyone is welcome to eat with us. The fish fry, the Sunday breakfast and the advertised charity dinners are all open to the public, and the dinners raise money for good causes, which works best with a full room.
What does membership cost?
Dues are set by the Aerie and looked after by the Secretary. Call (262) 633-1138 or email eaglesclub@wi.rr.com for the current figure.
Do I need to know an existing member?
Most people start by coming to a meal and saying they are interested. The club is small enough that you will be talking to the right person within a few minutes.
Can I volunteer without joining?
Please do ask. Our bigger weekends always need extra hands, and it is a good way to meet people before you decide about membership.
Start with a Friday
Fish fry runs 4pm to 8pm every Friday. Come in, eat, and ask anyone in an apron about joining us.
