Donate to Van Buren Eagles #3996
Purpose: Emergency New Roof Fund, Help Needed ASAP!

Details are in the letter below.  Click the Donate button to donate.

EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT:
When it rains, it pours. Our club is closed down and losing revenue because of the coronavirus, and now we have a roof problem that demands our immediate attention. The entire shingled roof, basically everything but the kitchen area, developed serious leaks and needs to be repaired.

Our funds are being depleted because of the shutdown. We’re still making monthly payments on insurance, utilities and other fixed expenses, and now we have this emergency need.

We realize this is a difficult time for our members, but we need all of our Eagle brothers and sisters to help out and make a donation if possible. If you regularly stopped by the club weekly and spent $25, please consider donating that amount towards the roof - or more. One-time donations, as well as weekly or monthly, would be appreciated. If you’re unable to help at this time, we understand. No pressure. Maybe you can help later on.

Donations can be made through Paypal by clicking the Donate button on the Home Page of our website at www.foe3996.com. You don’t need an account and all major credit cards are accepted. You can also send a check made out to the Van Buren Eagles #3996 (please note in the memo area that it’s for the roof.) Mail it to the Van Buren Eagles #3996, c/o Jeff Gueli, Secretary, 9961 Beck Rd, Belleville, MI 48111. If you have any questions, please message Trustee Kay Pickup through Facebook.

We’re blessed to have so many members who take seriously our “People Helping People” motto. We’re usually donating to a cause or organization, but this time charity begins at home. Thank you in advance for your donations.
