As long as I have been a member of our Eagles club Joe Capponiti has been here to help guide and lead us, through the good times and the times of aus-terity, when paying the bills was the highest priority throughout our club. He has made the most from the least to keep our club afloat. Joe has taught me that no matter the size of the bank account you still need to be frugal with the monies to stay solvent. Joe has decided to move back to West (by God) Virginia from wentze he came. I will miss his friendship and the great times reliving past exploitations here at the Eagles. He is a great friend to many many members both new and old here at our club and other Aeries.

We need HELP!

Joe Caponiti I have many fond memories of the Aurora Eagles, in case you didn’t know I’m an Eagle Brat. Over the years I have seen who is al-ways on deck, who the fun people are, who got involved attended meetings, State & Na-tional conventions, who competed on Ritual Teams, hosted dinners, always made guests in our Club feel welcome, cleaned and fixed stuff, played horseshoes, pinochle, cribbage, shuffleboard, wore coconuts & grass skirts for fund raisers, swung from the rafters singing the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” at the top of his lungs. Put the true meaning in F.A.C. (FridayAfternoonClub). One name fits into all of the above descriptions, Joe Caponiti, you are an Eagle Legend in my eyes!! You are hilarious, honest, loyal and true, you have a kind heart and a dedication to this Club for 50+ years… that is Amazing. You are You. Have a safe move to West Virgin-ia; you will be missed by Many. Your Pal, Sherry Rohan P.S. If I’d have known that my being the Aux Pres, would make you move I never would have signed up, my Friend :)
