Eagle Village Offers Residency for Seniors

Aerie and auxiliary members have the opportunity to enjoy the brotherhood and sisterhood of Eagle Village, located in beautiful Bradenton, Florida. The senior community is open to any member who has at least 15 years of continuous membership in the Fraternal Order of Eagles, with priority given to applicants with the most years of service and those of have made outstanding contributions to their local organizations.

Applicants must be retired or semi-retired and must remain so while residing at the Village. Eagles' members applying must also be in reasonably good health and be able to provide proof of good health.

Eagle Village is a 26 acre complex, with 85 units and a library, recreation center and pool. Future plans for the Village includes building a 33 unit residential building with single bedroom and double bedroom options. We are in the preliminary planning stages, and the process for building this facility, currently dubbed "Lakeview 33," could take up to 2 to 2 1/2 years. Fundraising is being encouraged and applications for current properties are being accepted.

At the recommendation of the Board of Grand Trustees, the Village Directors revised one of the Qualifications for Application to Eagle Village in 2007. When meeting the other qualifications, upon the death of the applicant, the spouse may remain a resident of Eagle Village if he or she is a member of an aerie or auxiliary at the time of the Village's annual lease renewal. Only Eagle Aerie or Auxiliary members may sign a lease for Eagle Village residency. Additionally, at the recommendation of the Board of Grand Trustees, single auxiliary members are eligible to apply for units at Eagle Village.
