Last Wednesday marked the beginning of the 2022-23 scholarship dinner season for the Eagles, which kicked off with tacos. They plan to start selling cheeseburgers in October. Proceeds from the dinners go directly to scholarships for local students, with the Eagles raising $364 Wednesday. They gave away $10,500 in scholarships last year. The meals are held every other Wednesday.
