FRATERNAL ORDER OF EAGLES (F.O.E.)
Aerie #3475 club was chartered in 1973
The Eagles were founded on February 6th, 1898 by 6 theater owners in a waterfront shipyard in Seattle. The theater owners were competitors who had come together to discuss a musicians’ strike. After deciding how to handle the strike, they agreed to "bury the hatchet" and form an organization dubbed "The Order of Good Things." At a later date, they became known as The Fraternal Order of Eagles. The Ladies Auxiliary was formed in 1927. The meeting place or building where Eagles have their meetings and social events is called an Aerie. In nature, an aerie is the lofty nest of any bird of prey, including eagles and hawks.
