In 1979, Brother Hanshaw transferred to Des Moines, Iowa, Aerie #109. He was appointed National Ritual Advisor by Grand Worthy President Russ Clark in 1984 and held the position until 1993 when he was named Grand Trustee.
He was installed as Grand Worthy President six years later for the 1999-2000 fraternal year in Nashville, Tenn.

11.20.2010 Picture of the GWP Mike Lagervall’s visit to the Saratoga Race Track while in the State of New York.
(Click to Enlarge)
The 5th race on November 9th was in honor of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Grand Worthy President Mike Lagervall and his wife Martha. Mike placed two bets on the 5th race. He bet that either the 4th or 7th horse would win. As you see by the picture, the 6th horse won. He may not know how to pick a winning horse but the Fraternal Order of Eagles sure knows how to pick a winning leadership team with Mike and Martha!

November is American Diabetes Month and as all of you know, the Eagles have made
diabetes research the focal point of the organizations charitable efforts
through The Fraternal Order of Eagles Diabetes Research Center.
Nearly 24 millions Americans live with diabetes and 57 million more face a
high risk of developing the disease. The time to stop the spread of diabetes
is now. Included under the
resources tab
of our
Diabetes Research
Center page at foe.com are several tools for you to utilize
throughout the month to help educate friends, neighbors and family members
about the effects of diabetes and what they can do to join the Eagles in
finding a cure.
New mGive text giving cards have been placed on the website for you
to print and cut out for distribution in your community that help spread the
word of the DRC beyond the walls of your local Aerie or Auxiliary. This tool
is intended to generate pledges from non-members.
Three Letters to the Editor have been provided in Word format for you
to edit and distribute to local publications to help educate their
readership on what the Eagles do on a daily basis to help keep the community
and our great countries thriving through community service.
Six Faces of Diabetes Profiles are available to share the stories of
Eagle members and their families who are stricken by diabetes on a daily
basis. These profiles help members and non-members grasp what it is like to
live with the disease.
A video detailing the Diabetes Research Center and the Eagles'
partnership with The University of Iowa is available to share with your
Aerie/Auxiliary or to use during open house events to help educate
prospective members.
Additionally, Sunday, Nov. 14, is National Diabetes Day. We encourage our
Aeries and Auxiliaries to hold open events on this day and spread the
concept of People Helping People to everyone in their communities. Diabetes
affects everyone - not just Eagles.
Please take full advantage of the resources provided and remember that Every
Eagle Counts in the fight against diabetes.
Thank you!

Subscribe to the New Grand Aerie Electronic Newsletter (Magazine)! The Eagle
Magazine will no longer be mailed.
Brothers & Sisters,
As many of you know, the next issue of the Eagle
magazine, which many may receive, will be the last. I believe
communication is important so to help you "stay tuned" to the news and
events from the Grand Aerie, it is even more important that you subscribe to
this electronic news source, as more than 8000 Eagles already do. 8000
subscribers are a lot but considerably less than the circulation of the Eagle
magazine. This sort of reminds me of the wolf that gnawed off his paw
caught in the trap in order to survive!

Smoking Laws to be Enforced
Rumor has it that the local health departments are checking to see if
smoking is occurring in our Aerie’s because of some complaints. If you have
any employees or officers who have an office in the Aerie, the state law is
clear, you cannot have smoking in the Aerie. If you want a waiver one can be
obtained by you local county health department. If you have all volunteer
workers and no one does any book keeping in the Aerie then you have an
option to or not to have smoking.

well.

I
wanted to send out info regarding our anniversary dinner in Aug.
First of all, I wanted to inform the aux members that this is
the aerie anniversary, not a joint anniversary w/
our aux. We would enjoy seeing any aux member, as everyone
is welcome to attend, however I didn’t want the ladies to be
mislead that it was an aux celebration.

Our
ann. dinner will be held on Sat, 8-21 @
·
The
menu will consist of either prime rib ($20) or stuffed can
breast ($18) including a salad, vegetables and dessert.
