March 18, 2008 - Eagles Incorporated…..

In keeping with the club’s intention to incorporate the Fairfax Eagles as a domestic, not-for-profit corporation in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the State Corporation Commission recently awarded the club corporate status.  As a result, the club will now be legally known as the Fairfax Eagles Rugby League Club Incorporated.  Following this incorporation the club intends to pursue tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The benefits of becoming a not-for-profit corporation include legal protection for the club’s officers and members, money donated to the club is tax-deductible, and club players can deduct expenses from their annual taxes (mileage, donations, playing kit, etc.).  There is also a belief amongst the club’s directors that incorporation brings a level of professionalism and credibility to the organization.  More details will follow when the club’s not-for-profit status has been confirmed. 

 

 

March 19, 2008 - Game and Practice Fields Secured…..

The Fairfax Eagles are pleased to announce game and practice fields for the upcoming season.  All home games will be played at Stratton Woods Park in Herndon, Virginia.  The field is located in a new Herndon sports complex that also includes two baseball fields, tennis courts, and several sand volleyball courts.  Practice will be held from May through August on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Poplar Tree Park in Chantilly.  Poplar Tree Park features several brand new all-weather turf fields, each provided with bleachers and floodlighting.  The Eagles have also secured the use of a grass field at Cub Run School in Chantilly for practice on Saturday mornings during the month of May.  More information regarding practice times will be announced shortly.  The club would like to thank the Fairfax County Department of Community and Recreation Services for their assistance in helping secure these fields.
