Eagles help Motherhouse
Nov 2nd
From Rockford 13, Rockford Illinos:
ROCKFORD (WREX) — A different kind of help for families gets a boost today.
The Fraternal Order of Eagles held a fundraiser for Motherhouse Crisis Nursery, which provides free childcare for families in crisis. There was a craft and vendor show, plus a bake sale, to bring in money.
“Some of them are abused,” Faye Knutson, secretary of the Eagles, said. “Some of them, they just need somebody to watch their children for a little while. They also have training to teach the young mothers how to take care of their children.”
Knutson says with the economy so bad there’s even a bigger need to help places like Motherhouse.
Eagles are a Social Group
Nov 2nd
From the website of Fredrick Maryland Aerie #1067:
Thousands of people are attracted to the Eagles by our social events. We are fun-loving individuals who enjoy spending time with family, friends and neighbors.
It is not uncommon to hear a long-time member say that a dance was the first Eagles function he or she attended. Others became acquainted with the Eagles when they helped out at a dinner, played bingo or tagged along on a camp-out. Some members joined a specific aerie or auxiliary in California so they could “soar like eagles” with other skydivers.
Eagles social activities are almost endless and range from bowling, golfing and playing horseshoes to holding cookouts, riding in parades and attending NASCAR races. We also offer many social opportunities at our regional and national conventions.
In 1904, the first Maryland Eagles chapter was founded, just six years after the national organization came to be.
There are a lot of different activities. I as a member of an Aerie in Alameda, get the newsletter from not only Alameda Aerie #1076, but also from other aerie’s throughout the state. I am also the Newsletter editor of the Sires/Arabellas Unit 8-District 3 Newsletter “Wings of Charity” I will post information from those newsletters to this site as well as links in the sidebar.
