Umatilla Eagles Present Large Donation To Humane Society

    The Eagle Riders group within the Umatilla Fraternal Order of the Eagles continued the organization’s recent run of significant community donations on Saturday, September 12,  when members convened at the Lake County Humane Society to present pet supplies and a check for $5,000.  The donation represents the funds raised through the Eagle Riders campaign held each August in support of the no-kill shelter.
    “This is amazing,” said Angie Klein, executive director for the shelter, upon receiving the donation, which more than doubled last year’s contribution.
    The donations were raised through a program at the Eagles’ meeting space, located along Maxwell Road behind the Save-A-Lot Plaza.  Member contributions were boosted by additional support from Willie’s Iron Works, Dan’s Discount Feed, and R Bargain Basket in Astor.
