I am not a member, but have family members who are. I really appreciate what the order does for community, etc. with scholarships and philanthropy. However, whenever I have gone to the B.Bay building it is full of people who sit and drink most of the day and smoke constantly. It is pretty gross. I also really hate the building. It looks so trashy. Both inside and out. They really need to spruce up the place in a major way. I think it could be a good place, and maybe it is for some people. But when I think of the Eagles, I think of an organization that gives back to the community. Maybe it is just the B. Bay branch, but it seems like a big excuse to sit and drink/smoke all day.
