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 />
