24 December Merry Christmas from Carl & Althea December 24, 2018 By The Fraternal Order of Eagles General 0 Brothers and Sisters, It’s the giving season - what better way to celebrate the holidays than by putting that charitable energy back into your community. As we celebrate the holidays with our beloved family and friends, we should take the time to reflect on the charitable acts that took place in 2018. Throughout the 2017 and 2018 fraternal year, more than $3,600,000 was donated to the Charity Foundation. Which is an impressive feat that exemplifies your hard work and selfless dedication to helping others. Use this holiday season as a way to show your friends, family, and neighbors all the work we do and encourage them to join The Fraternal Order of Eagles. Take it one step further by involving the youth in your community, and act as a mentor to them, by showing them how much good they will be able to do as a member. There is no better feeling than helping someone in need. There are countless ways that you can impact your community, whether it is with a local food drive or a fundraising effort for an important cause. We’d like to show our appreciation for all your hard work this past year – we thank you for all the money and time you have put back into helping others and bettering your community. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without people like you! If you haven’t already, help your Aerie and Auxiliary make a difference in someone’s life this holiday season. If you have, let the Grand Aerie know at marketing@foe.com so we can make sure you get the recognition you deserve. There’s no better time of year to show just what “People Helping People” is all about. Fraternally, Carl Burnett, Grand Worthy President Althea Lane, Grand Madam President Related Articles Our Grand Presidents Wish You A Very Merry Christmas! Brothers and Sisters, We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday season. For the Fraternal Order of Eagles, this season truly exemplifies our commitment to charity and community service. During the holiday season, we send care packages to troops serving overseas through our Operation Eagle program, which is funded exclusively by our members. Across the United States and Canada, our 1,500+ locations organize holiday fundraisers, plan children’s parties and shopping sprees, and donate their time and money to help feed families in need. We always make it an organizational priority to give our best to those most in need each Winter. Currently, we’re on track for a successful membership year, however we must continue to work hard to recruit new members and meet our goal of Net Gain +2%. To help reach our mark, we’re asking everyone to “Give The Gift Of Membership” this holiday season by reaching out to someone you know who is contemplating membership with the F.O.E. and paying their first years dues.
