Visitation 2012

The visitation was successful again I didn’t get an actual count but there over 150 people there. As always Maude and Charlie did a wonderful job of the meal.

Special thanks to Pattie and Pattie for doing the dishes and serving dinner. All the volunteers really pitched in ,John and Anne at the bars Deanna and Desi on Friday.

We could never pull this without lots of help. The ladies had a crew doing the salad Saturday morning. Everything went pretty smooth. I was informed we will be hosting the zone conference again in Feb.

Sunday May 6 is our donation day we will have hambrgr and hot dogs. We are going to start at 12:00 noon. Hopefully all the charities can send a rep. The bingo volunteers have done an awesome job and we will be setting a fine example with our donations.

The stage and the hall has been worked on and it looks bigger with the bingo boards covered. We would like to thank Bob Swain for doing the concrete work the storage room is on its way.

The old furnace is gone from the little hall and the third heat pump has been installed. If the bingo players are any indication everyone will be very pleased with it.

Hope to see you at the AGM on May 15. Come out and let your voice be heard.

Dear Eagle Members
Thank you so much members from Eagles 2690 for supporting and co-sponsoring with Lemon Tree Events our second Hope For Kids Charity Kid's Swap Meet. We didn't rent as many tables as we would have liked because of the long weekend but it still was a success. We had many people attend especially when the Easter Bunny came out.

Did anyone see the Easter Bunny attended by Allan Derick wandering around town to attract people to the hall before hand? Thanks Allan. Thanks to Herb too for being there to make coffee and show me where stuff was, thanks to Desi and West for opening up the hall, cleaning it up and helping me move tables and chairs, to John for making change and the little bird candies (they were a hit) and various other Eagle members for helping and for the use of the hall. WE MADE 115.88 FOR OUR CHARITY!! after expenses. Almost double the amount than last year.

Eagles Zone Conference

From The President

The zone conference was a great success for local aerie and the host aeries. They are going to get back to us about having it in Hope again. I know the local businesses were pleased to have the gang.

Karaoke has been well attended and seems to generate a different crowd each week.

When we complete the present round of initiations we will be over the magic number of 200 members.

We still have quite a bit of work to do on the hall and various items around it.

The roof has to be coated this year for sure. The cabana needs work and we still need the storage room. It must be spring that feeling of lets get things rolling is starting well up inside us all.

This is the time to start considering nominations for office please step up and run or put forward someone who you think would be interested.

Eagles Celebrate 114 Years

On Monday, Feb. 6, The Fraternal Order of Eagles celebrates 114 years of People Helping People. The F.O.E. began as an agreement between six Seattle theater owners during a musicians' strike. The owners agreed to set aside their differences and form The Order of Good Things. As membership grew, the Bald Eagle was adopted as the Order's official emblem, serving as a catalyst for the Order's name change to The Fraternal Order of Eagles.

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our first 114 years of excellence and we look forward to 114 more years of changing lives for the better.
