Happy holidays is something to talk about already because we
are making the holidays happierfor a lot of children.
And one organization that isreally at the forefront of that
is the uh Eagles Lodge righthere in Lincoln City.
Two ladies have joined us, uhNancy White and Elena Jones.
Elena, thanks for being here.
Elana Jones (02:37):
Thank you for inviting me.
RR (02:39):
Now, you are out to raise money to get toys for the
children in North LincolnCounty, correct?
Elana Jones (02:45):
Uh correct.
Uh actually the North LincolnEagles partners with the North
Lincoln Fire and Rescue.
They put out the toy boxes atthe different businesses, and uh
we do the food and we put ittogether and then they help us
deliver the food baskets andtoys.
RR (03:07):
It's quite an operation.
Elana Jones (03:09):
Yes.
Uh it takes us two weeks to putit together.
Uh we work at the St.
Peter's Lutheran Church.
Uh they donate their activitycenter downstairs, and we have
that for two weeks.
And so the first part of thethe two weeks we work on toys.
The fire department brings thetoys in, and then we sort them
and put them with families inage-appropriate gifts for the
(03:31):
children.
RR (03:32):
So, how do we know what goes where?
What toys go to family XYZ?
Elana Jones (03:38):
Well, we have uh shoppers and we get applications
from the parents.
Okay.
And we hopefully get some ideasfrom the parents as to what
those children want.
And we try to keep our toysbetween the $25, $30, $35 range.
Uh, so we obviously are notgoing to give them an Xbox or or
(03:59):
something in that price range,but and we try to do uh three
toys per child from birth to 17and then we wrap all the toys.
We have wrappers that come inand volunteer their time to wrap
all those toys because you knowwe have probably well last year
(04:20):
we did 325 families, and inthat there is probably six
hundred and fifty children.
Uh so that's a lot of giftwrapping.
RR (04:32):
So right now you're doing the toy drive.
That's the the opening part ofit, and so you got barrels all
over town?
Elana Jones (04:39):
Yes, the the fire department will pick put them
out, and then they pick up thetoys, and then we move into the
church on December the sixth,and then they will start
bringing the toys to us.
We first organize them ingroups of you know, age groups,
boys and girls, and then when westart getting the applications
(05:00):
in, then we have shoppers thatgo out and look at the tables
and pick up stuff that would beappropriate for those children.
Our applications will probablybe out about the 19th century.
RR (05:13):
Where we want to get an application.
Elana Jones (05:15):
Okay, the applications are on the North
Lincoln Eagles website, uh,which is North Lincoln Eagles
2576.com.
They're available at the NorthFire Hall, they're available at
the Eagles Lodge, and also atLes Schwab.
RR (05:30):
You've got all of these children that are in need.
Parents say that that are inneed of things for the children.
So we're gathering the toys, wewrap the toys, we deliver the
toys.
It's rather significant.
Elana Jones (05:45):
Uh it is.
It is just really and andthere's also uh they get food
for a week approximately uh withturkey, turkey breast, ham for
holiday dinner.
And so the families of one,two, and three usually get like
one food box, and uh largerfamilies get two food boxes.
(06:07):
Sometimes the larger familiesget like a two turkeys,
sometimes they'll get one plus aham, uh, just depending on the
size of the family.
RR (06:16):
No, uh correct me if I'm uh wrong, but this program started
with the uh elks before the elksuh w went away for a period of
time, correct?
Elana Jones (06:25):
Uh we used to partner uh with the elks.
The Eagles actually starteddoing it in 1986.
Another couple and my husbandand I started with four families
that we did in 1986, and it'sgrown now to we do probably 325.
RR (06:41):
Families or children?
Elana Jones (06:42):
Families.
RR (06:43):
Wow.
Elana Jones (06:44):
Uh the elks closed in 2015.
They used to do the north endof town, and the Eagles would do
the south end of town.
And when they closed, then theEagles took over, and we do from
the Van Doozer Corridor uh onthis side of it to the Solets
River Bridge.
RR (07:04):
Now, Nancy, you some of the money has to be raised because
it's not just all given away,and you do that with music.
Nancy Wyatt (07:12):
Well, we do that with music to help with uh
children's clothing.
I mean, a lot of kids, a lot offamilies, they need clothing
for their children.
They need warm warmies, theyneed sweatshirts, they need
things like that.
But we get a lot of money bydoing our auction and raising
money throughout the year.
But one of the things we haveBluegrass is night at the Eagles
(07:36):
Lodge from six to eight everyTuesday.
And that group this summerraised over eleven hundred
dollars just to help theChristmas baskets.
So we have a lot of differentgroups within the Eagles that
try to help make this allpossible.
RR (07:54):
Do you have to be a member of the Eagles to go in and enjoy
the bluegrass?
Nancy Wyatt (07:58):
No, just come and sign in at the desk and make
sure that they know that youknow you're here for the music
and it's free and it's someamazing musicians.
RR (08:09):
We're gonna have you back on uh on a future podcast as well
to talk about the history of theNelscott Strip, uh Nelscott
area, because the Eagles Lodgehas been there since the 1900s,
early well, since 1920.
Elana Jones (08:24):
1923.
RR (08:25):
1923.
Nancy Wyatt (08:26):
It's got a great history.
Elana Jones (08:28):
And the the building, the logs were logged
off the property that built thebuilding.
And it used to be an auto parkwhere people would come and
camp.
And then during the Depression,it was a a soup kitchen.
And then two families, theNelson family and the Scott
family that made up Nelsondonated it to the Eagles in
(08:53):
1972.
RR (08:55):
What a history.
Elana Jones (08:56):
And that's and then that's where that building ha
uh you know came from.
Um, you know, we have added onto it.
But it's it's pretty amazing, Ithink, on the inside.
That's the biggest activity forthe year, the the toy drive and
then we also do a scholarshipto the Taft School and also
(09:17):
career tech, they could applyfor it too.
Nancy Wyatt (09:20):
Yeah, sadly they kind of burnt out.
Yeah, but we gave um ninescholarships of a thousand
dollars each last year.
We're really thankful for FrankNapoleon.
His Hawaiian breakfast has beena great uh draw and moneymaker,
and so he is our big moneymaker for our lodge for the
(09:43):
scholarships.
But we named the scholarshipthe Angie Thompson Memorial
Scholarship Fund because AngieThompson was an amazing school
teacher who, when she retired,wanted to do things for the
children of Lincoln City, andshe started all these
(10:03):
scholarship uh programs, and sowhen she passed, we renamed the
scholarship for her.
RR (10:09):
Again, the activity is underway as we speak, raising
money, uh getting toys, gettingwrapping paper, uh the whole bit
because it's not that far away.
Elana Jones (10:21):
No, it's not.
Uh and I did uh we apply forgrants.
We've applied for a grantthrough the city.
Uh we just receivedconfirmation that we're going to
get a drug a grant from theSoletz Tribe, their charitable
contribution foundation, andLush Schwab helps us with
raising money for turkeysmainly.
Mo's they sell cookies, buytoys with the money they raise
(10:46):
for cookies they sell.
So and then the factory storesuh usually give us we buy gift
cards there and then they'llusually kick in an extra amount.
Um we have a give a damn day atShuckers that uh Mark Romer uh
does.
So we have people from all overtown that work with us and and
(11:08):
help us.
Otherwise, we could not do thison our own.
We have 300 members, and youknow, it's getting to the point
that it's gotten beyond what wecan fundraise ourselves.
And so these partners thatwe've developed over the years
are instrumental in what we do.
RR (11:25):

And then St.
James, Santiago EpiscopalChurch is also sponsoring a
wreath this year.
RR (21:35):
So we got the wreaths, we got the trees, uh, we've got a
huge auction, but we also havesome sponsors that have really
stepped up to the plate to makethis an event that's going to
make money to serve thecommunity.
Son Phil (21:47):
And number one, of course, like it is every year,
it's Chinookwin's Casino Resortand the Confederated Tribes of
Slaz Indians.

Last few years we've had abuffet.
This year we're sitting downagain.

or something like that.
I'm hungry already.
And then dessert is also like achocolate melody.
(22:32):
I'm not quite sure what we'redoing there, but yeah.
RR (22:34):
So one of the couples that have really stepped up to the
plate again, uh Chet and BarbaraGardner, probably them next.
Probably uh don't know Chet,but uh he originally owned Jim
Kodaks in Depot Bay.
Uh also at a coin shop here inLincoln City.
That's the way I remember Chet.
Chet's coins.
Yeah, Chet's coins.
And then Barbara was a schoolteacher for a number of years in
(22:55):
North Lincoln County.
But they gave Angels a pile ofmoney.
$10,000.
They are a huge sponsor, Chetand Barbara.
Son Phil (23:02):
That just blows my mind, the generosity that they
are doing for this this year.
It's just really amazing.
And so, yes, we can't thankChet and Barbara enough for what
their donation.
First Interstate Bank is also abig sponsor this year, along
with Pacific Corps, PacificPower, and they're both major
sponsors.
Also, a new one, which is thisone just came in the other day.

RR (23:24):
Money they raised for a nonprofit activity in Depot Bay.
Uh, they said that they wantedto make certain that it went
went into helping people ofNorth Lincoln County.
And that's what we do at AngelsAnonymous.

RR (02:19):
Happy holidays is something to talk about already because we
are making the holidays happierfor a lot of children.
And one organization that isreally at the forefront of that
is the uh Eagles Lodge righthere in Lincoln City.
Two ladies have joined us, uhNancy White and Elena Jones.
Elena, thanks for being here.
Elana Jones (02:37):
Thank you for inviting me.
RR (02:39):
Now, you are out to raise money to get toys for the
children in North LincolnCounty, correct?
Elana Jones (02:45):
Uh correct.
Uh actually the North LincolnEagles partners with the North
Lincoln Fire and Rescue.
They put out the toy boxes atthe different businesses, and uh
we do the food and we put ittogether and then they help us
deliver the food baskets andtoys.
RR (03:07):
It's quite an operation.
Elana Jones (03:09):
Yes.
Uh it takes us two weeks to putit together.
Uh we work at the St.
Peter's Lutheran Church.
Uh they donate their activitycenter downstairs, and we have
that for two weeks.
And so the first part of thethe two weeks we work on toys.
The fire department brings thetoys in, and then we sort them
and put them with families inage-appropriate gifts for the
(03:31):
children.
RR (03:32):
So, how do we know what goes where?
What toys go to family XYZ?
Elana Jones (03:38):
Well, we have uh shoppers and we get applications
from the parents.
Okay.
And we hopefully get some ideasfrom the parents as to what
those children want.
And we try to keep our toysbetween the $25, $30, $35 range.
Uh, so we obviously are notgoing to give them an Xbox or or
(03:59):
something in that price range,but and we try to do uh three
toys per child from birth to 17and then we wrap all the toys.
We have wrappers that come inand volunteer their time to wrap
all those toys because you knowwe have probably well last year
(04:20):
we did 325 families, and inthat there is probably six
hundred and fifty children.
Uh so that's a lot of giftwrapping.
RR (04:32):
So right now you're doing the toy drive.
That's the the opening part ofit, and so you got barrels all
over town?
Elana Jones (04:39):
Yes, the the fire department will pick put them
out, and then they pick up thetoys, and then we move into the
church on December the sixth,and then they will start
bringing the toys to us.
We first organize them ingroups of you know, age groups,
boys and girls, and then when westart getting the applications
(05:00):
in, then we have shoppers thatgo out and look at the tables
and pick up stuff that would beappropriate for those children.
Our applications will probablybe out about the 19th century.
RR (05:13):
Where we want to get an application.
Elana Jones (05:15):
Okay, the applications are on the North
Lincoln Eagles website, uh,which is North Lincoln Eagles
2576.com.
They're available at the NorthFire Hall, they're available at
the Eagles Lodge, and also atLes Schwab.
RR (05:30):
You've got all of these children that are in need.
Parents say that that are inneed of things for the children.
So we're gathering the toys, wewrap the toys, we deliver the
toys.
It's rather significant.
Elana Jones (05:45):
Uh it is.
It is just really and andthere's also uh they get food
for a week approximately uh withturkey, turkey breast, ham for
holiday dinner.
And so the families of one,two, and three usually get like
one food box, and uh largerfamilies get two food boxes.
(06:07):
Sometimes the larger familiesget like a two turkeys,
sometimes they'll get one plus aham, uh, just depending on the
size of the family.
RR (06:16):
No, uh correct me if I'm uh wrong, but this program started
with the uh elks before the elksuh w went away for a period of
time, correct?
Elana Jones (06:25):
Uh we used to partner uh with the elks.
The Eagles actually starteddoing it in 1986.
Another couple and my husbandand I started with four families
that we did in 1986, and it'sgrown now to we do probably 325.
RR (06:41):
Families or children?
Elana Jones (06:42):
Families.
RR (06:43):
Wow.
Elana Jones (06:44):
Uh the elks closed in 2015.
They used to do the north endof town, and the Eagles would do
the south end of town.
And when they closed, then theEagles took over, and we do from
the Van Doozer Corridor uh onthis side of it to the Solets
River Bridge.
RR (07:04):
Now, Nancy, you some of the money has to be raised because
it's not just all given away,and you do that with music.
Nancy Wyatt (07:12):
Well, we do that with music to help with uh
children's clothing.
I mean, a lot of kids, a lot offamilies, they need clothing
for their children.
They need warm warmies, theyneed sweatshirts, they need
things like that.
But we get a lot of money bydoing our auction and raising
money throughout the year.
But one of the things we haveBluegrass is night at the Eagles
(07:36):
Lodge from six to eight everyTuesday.
And that group this summerraised over eleven hundred
dollars just to help theChristmas baskets.
So we have a lot of differentgroups within the Eagles that
try to help make this allpossible.
RR (07:54):
Do you have to be a member of the Eagles to go in and enjoy
the bluegrass?
Nancy Wyatt (07:58):
No, just come and sign in at the desk and make
sure that they know that youknow you're here for the music
and it's free and it's someamazing musicians.
RR (08:09):
We're gonna have you back on uh on a future podcast as well
to talk about the history of theNelscott Strip, uh Nelscott
area, because the Eagles Lodgehas been there since the 1900s,
early well, since 1920.
Elana Jones (08:24):
1923.
RR (08:25):
1923.
Nancy Wyatt (08:26):
It's got a great history.
Elana Jones (08:28):
And the the building, the logs were logged
off the property that built thebuilding.
And it used to be an auto parkwhere people would come and
camp.
And then during the Depression,it was a a soup kitchen.
And then two families, theNelson family and the Scott
family that made up Nelsondonated it to the Eagles in
(08:53):
1972.
RR (08:55):
What a history.
Elana Jones (08:56):
And that's and then that's where that building ha
uh you know came from.
Um, you know, we have added onto it.
But it's it's pretty amazing, Ithink, on the inside.
That's the biggest activity forthe year, the the toy drive and
then we also do a scholarshipto the Taft School and also
(09:17):
career tech, they could applyfor it too.
Nancy Wyatt (09:20):
Yeah, sadly they kind of burnt out.
Yeah, but we gave um ninescholarships of a thousand
dollars each last year.
We're really thankful for FrankNapoleon.
His Hawaiian breakfast has beena great uh draw and moneymaker,
and so he is our big moneymaker for our lodge for the
(09:43):
scholarships.
But we named the scholarshipthe Angie Thompson Memorial
Scholarship Fund because AngieThompson was an amazing school
teacher who, when she retired,wanted to do things for the
children of Lincoln City, andshe started all these
(10:03):
scholarship uh programs, and sowhen she passed, we renamed the
scholarship for her.
RR (10:09):
Again, the activity is underway as we speak, raising
money, uh getting toys, gettingwrapping paper, uh the whole bit
because it's not that far away.
Elana Jones (10:21):
No, it's not.
Uh and I did uh we apply forgrants.
We've applied for a grantthrough the city.
Uh we just receivedconfirmation that we're going to
get a drug a grant from theSoletz Tribe, their charitable
contribution foundation, andLush Schwab helps us with
raising money for turkeysmainly.
Mo's they sell cookies, buytoys with the money they raise
(10:46):
for cookies they sell.
So and then the factory storesuh usually give us we buy gift
cards there and then they'llusually kick in an extra amount.
Um we have a give a damn day atShuckers that uh Mark Romer uh
does.
So we have people from all overtown that work with us and and
(11:08):
help us.
Otherwise, we could not do thison our own.
We have 300 members, and youknow, it's getting to the point
that it's gotten beyond what wecan fundraise ourselves.
And so these partners thatwe've developed over the years
are instrumental in what we do.
RR (11:25):
Nancy White and Elena Jones.

unknown (11:30):

I should say the casino alsohas a double space this year,
but they've really gone out.
I mean, they've been working onthis since there's gonna be
(16:59):

This is one that I'm lookingforward to.
Mermaid Salon.
I mean, I've been talking toMichelle for the entire year.

She's gonna be right up front,so we'll see what she comes up
with.
I mentioned the AngelsAnonymous Founders Tree.
That's when we can come up andyou can buy an ornament and

And then finally, again,they're anonymous.
It's two chicks and a chap.
RR (18:38):
And a wine tree.
Son Phil (18:39):
No, it's not a wine tree, a wine table.
It's a wine table.
Well, we uh all of our boardmembers we gather wines from

Son Phil (20:16):
Well, it's the it's not just the trees.
We have a the big banquet we doas well.
And by the time this airs, Ithink we'll probably have a few
tickets remaining.
I don't know.
We're always getting close tothe selling out, so it's kind of
hard.
But tickets are available ifyou go to the our Angels
Anonymous website, which youtype in Angels Anonymous L L C,
I believe it is, dot com.
And we're the shot.
It's there yeah, there mightstill be some tickets available.
RR (20:37):
Now, in our first uh segment, we talked about all of
the trees, but we have a numberof wreaths that people have
sponsored as well.
Son Phil (20:45):
Correct.
Now, this is a silent auction.
We don't do a live auction onthese.
These are all the silentauction items.

So we got the wreaths, we got the trees, uh, we've got a
huge auction, but we also havesome sponsors that have really
stepped up to the plate to makethis an event that's going to
make money to serve thecommunity.
Son Phil (21:47):
And number one, of course, like it is every year,
it's Chinookwin's Casino Resortand the Confederated Tribes of
Slaz Indians.
They do so much for us.
I mean, it's not just thefacilities, but it's every
little thing.
Their staff helps us out.
They set the trees up for us.
And, you know, if you want tothank somebody, thank some of

North Lincoln County.
But they gave Angels a pile ofmoney.
$10,000.
They are a huge sponsor, Chetand Barbara.
Son Phil (23:02):

are doing for this this year.
It's just really amazing.
And so, yes, we can't thankChet and Barbara enough for what
their donation.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
