Grand Aerie Bulletin Contest
Communication is the key to success within The Fraternal Order of Eagles. Throughout the year, many of our Aeries and Auxiliaries distribute bulletins to members informing them of the latest happenings, upcoming events and more. The Grand Aerie Bulletin Contest is held each year to honor our Aeries and Auxiliaries who best make use of this information outlet. In addition, all participants in the contest will receive feedback from the Grand Aerie Marketing & Communication Department regarding how they can make their bulletin the best it can be. The contest is open to all paper and electronic newsletters on the Local and State level. Entries are divided by class dependent upon the size of the Aerie/Auxiliary. All Aeries/Auxiliaries are encouraged to participate.
