Soaring Eagle Social Club
People with disabilities are welcome to login, kickback and talk about any number of topics related to disability and/or independent living. The virtual social club provides a safe haven where people with disabilities can form relationships, have productive and meaningful conversations, learn from other’s lifelong experiences, and seek advice and guidance from members who have experienced similar experiences or dilemmas. For those that do not like crowds and just want to have a one-on-one conversation, that can be arranged as well.
The club is open: Monday through Friday 6 PM to 8 PM and Saturdays and Sundays from 4:00 p.m. to 7 PM Mountain Standard Time. The club is closed on holidays. To become a member, please register at: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0qcuiqrjopG9bXL_ROlOykd09wTq9ZF9TK
Please note, you will need to install the Zoom application in order to enter the club.
