Activities
Monthly Meetings
We meet on the 3rd Thursday of each month at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Hall in Maumee, Ohio. The meetings start at 6:00 PM and end at 8:00 PM but members are encouraged to come early and grab a bite to eat and something cold to drink. It's an enjoyable time to catch up with each other and have a few laughs. Family members as well as possible new members are welcome. Some months we have guest speakers, most of which are medically related.

Summer Fishing Trip
With the chapter being located so close to Lake Erie each summer, usually in mid to late August we make a trip to Port Clinton, Ohio where there is a charter boat named The Irish Drifter that has been modified for wheelchair users. They take several chair users and their family and friends out on the lake for some fairly good Yellow Perch fishing. Many of the fish that are caught end up being a part of the chapters end of the summer picnic.
Annual Bowl-A-Thon
For the last several years we have held a Bowl-A-Thon to raise the funds needed for our chapter to keep our programs and activities going. This is our largest fundraising event each year. It's always a blast for all who choose to participate. We have been using Al Mar Lanes located in Bowling Green, Ohio as they have the most accessible lanes in the area.
Annual Christmas Party
At the end of every year, we have a Christmas party with everything from a satisfying meal to a prize raffle and 50/50 drawing and even a visit from Santa Clause for the youngsters. Everyone gets to see people they haven't seen for a while and just sit around and chat. We consider this to be our regular monthly meeting which allows all our members to spend the holidays with their own family and friends.
