THE FRATERNITY OF EAGLES CELEBRATES 115
YEARS!!
Ladies Auxiliary President Carole Browning and Trustee Myrna Talaga
attended the Eagles Aerie #1 dinner and anniversary festivities in Seattle on February
2. The event was in celebration of the
Fraternity of Eagles 115th Anniversary and the new home of Aerie #1
in Lake City.
Motivational comments were given by State President Mike Simonds and
State Madam Chaplain Donna Simonds, Past Grand Madam President Peggy Carver
Keimig and Past Worthy President John Porter from Canada. At the end of the program, both Carole and
Myrna were moved by the singing of the Eagle Song during which everyone held
hands in a gesture of unity. Both said
they encourage all Eagles members to attend other Eagles functions to acquire
new friendships and new ideas.
UPDATE ON RAISING FUNDS FOR THE ROOF
We had more lucky winners in February including Gene Ariz, Mike Duffy and
3-time winner Tyler Gottschalk. Talk about the luck of the Irish – Irish? Anyway, Tyler
generously donated his first two winnings back to the roof fund –THANK YOU, TYLER!! Be sure to buy your ticket by 7 pm on Friday for the drawing at 7:30 pm. YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN! So come

you’ll be a winner too!
