Liquor option on the ballot<br />

By Kristy Zurbrick<br />

<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />

Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 950 has a liquor option<br />

on the Nov. 2 general election ballot.<br />

The charitable fraternal organization operates a private<br />

club at 16 S. Union St., London. The group has a<br />

permit to sell wine, mixed beverages, and spiritous<br />

liquor Monday through Saturday. It is seeking voter approval<br />

to do so on Sundays, as well. The group already<br />

has a permit to sell beer every day of the week.<br />

The question appears on the ballot only for voters in<br />

London’s Precinct 3 where the Eagles building is located.<br />

Eagles Aerie 950 was chartered in 1905 and has<br />

called 16 S. Union St. home since 1923. The organization<br />

promotes fellowship among its members and conducts<br />

charitable giving in the community. Currently,<br />

the membership stands at approximately 400 men and<br />

more than 200 women in the auxiliary.<br />

The group raises money through its gambling license<br />

with the state. Seventy-five percent of the proceeds go<br />

into a charitable account held by the state aerie. The<br />

London aerie draws from that account to make donations<br />

to various groups and causes. A committee coordinates<br />

applications submitted by charitable<br />

organizations seeking funds.<br />

“We do a lot of charity work,” said Jim Stidham, London<br />

Eagles spokesperson. “We give scholarships for<br />

members’ children and grandchildren—we average 10 to<br />

12 per year. We also give to the Shriners Burn Hospital,<br />

<strong>Madison</strong> Health, the Cowling Park project, the project<br />

at Merri-Mac Park.<br />

“We’ve done stuff for the police and fire departments.<br />

We do a lot of work within the community. We try to<br />

keep everything as close to the community as we can.”<br />

Aerie 950’s board of trustees includes Stidham, Dana<br />

Fisher, Gregg Payne, Rodney Rucker and Teri Winebrenner.<br />

The group’s officers are: Chris Stires, president;<br />

Jeff Boyd, vice president; Kenny Skaggs,<br />

secretary; and Gary Beatty, treasurer.<br />
