There are plenty of reasons to give this establishment the stars it deserves. With almost 500 members, The F.O.E. aerie #21 in Olympia, Washington, is a legendary venue for dancing, music, fundraising events, weddings, holiday parties, thrift shopping, or simply a hangout for its hundreds of club patrons. The Eagles #21 has history dating 100 years– through the beginning of the club’s early founding, it’s heyday in the 40’s and 50’s, and through it’s slight decline in the 80’s and 90’s. Since then it has gone through numerous improvements to make it one of the best spots for entertainment and leisure. Decades of live events throughout the 4-level building have brought many different people together from all over the Oly area, and the world. Upstairs is the huge Eagles Grand Ballroom that is used for weekly dances and planned events such as weddings, proms, and recitals. There are performance art classes also available for anyone wanting to learn a type of dance, or drum. In the bottom level of the building is the E-mart. The Eagles houses a thrift store full to the brim of second-hand goods. From designer labeled clothing, to electronics, old VHS and DVDs, furniture, and from dishes and housewares to books and toys. Of course, the ground level is the member’s lounge. Boasting the only bar in downtown Olympia to have the NFL ticket, the clubhouse can get any NFL game on it’s six flat-screen TVs and projector. The Eagles is also home to the official Brown’s Backers football club who meet for every Cleveland Brown game. And the best spot to watch all your Sounders, Mariners, and Seahawks games. Not a football fan? All throughout the week there are daily drink specials(cheapest in town), live music, karaōke, free pool and foosball, pull tabs, a stage and a dance floor and a jukebox, video games, potlucks, and great people enjoying the company at the bar. It is a member’s only club, however. Joining is simple. There are yearly dues to being a member, and of course abiding by club rules and aerie bylaws. But they are always accepting more members to join and be a part of a great community of fundraisers who love to party!
