WHat is the Fraternal order of eagles
The Fraternal Order of Eagles (F.O.E.) is an international non-profit organization founded in 1898 in Seattle, Washington, originally calling themselves "The Seattle Order of Good Things" with the motto "People Helping People." Eventually, the organization embraced the Bald Eagle as their emblem and rebranded as the "Fraternal Order of Eagles," adopting the motto, "If I cannot speak well of an Eagle, I will not speak ill of him."
Today, the F.O.E. has grown to approximately 800,000 members with over 1,500 locations across the U.S. and Canada, including Eagles #4150. This community organization combines social engagement with charitable initiatives, creating a private club atmosphere for its members.
The organization generously donates more than $10 million annually to local and national charities, supporting vital programs such as Diabetes health and research, Heart/Cardiovascular health and research, Cancer health and research, Kidney health and research, various children's research and disease programs, and many other local charities.

Greetings Everyone!!
Please join me in welcoming our newest members to the 4150. Mark your calendars for our Aerie upcoming events and our Aerie meetings held the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month at 7:30PM. These meetings are held to initiate new members, discuss club business and to make important decisions for our club.
Reminder that members will be receiving a hard membership card in the mail from the Grand Aerie and Auxiliary so please open all your Eagle mail to ensure you have the new card, and it is not mistakenly thrown away.
Remember to sign up at the bar for our website, daily text blasts, or monthly newsletters to keep you up to date on meals and club activities. Visit our website FOE4150.com for more information.
Stop by the club and grab a meal and beverage as well as share conversations with fellow members. Our club generally gets busier after all the summer vacations so let's remember to exercise patience during our visits to the club during its busier times.
Sincerely, Garnett Varner, Worthy President
