The Official Bulletin of The Fraternal Order of Eagles Grand Aerie

A Message From F.O.E. Grand Worthy President The Lang Family Chuck Lang Passes Away To the Officers of the Grand & Chuck's friends, Of all the thank yous - this is by far the hardest to write. It is the final message from Chuck. I'm sure you know - but I will say it anyway - he was so proud to be an Eagle. He was proud to call you his brothers & sisters. Seems every conversation we ever had ALWAYS came back to the Eagles. I'm sure there were bumps along the way, but things seemed to work out and you got better in your Eagle ways. Thank you for the beautiful flowers and your presence at his funeral. He would have been absolutely floored to know you were there. Not sure why God took him before he could accomplish his goals, but that is not up to me to know I guess. From the bottom of my heart and my family - THANK YOU! - Brenda Lang.

Grand Aerie Announcement During a Convention planning visit in Reno, Nev., last month, Jr. Past Grand Worthy President David Tice and Grand Worthy President Bud Haigh were formally installed in their new positions within the Grand Aerie. For the remainder of the year, Haigh will make visitations throughout the jurisdiction, raising funds in Chuck’s honor for his charity, the Eagles’ Art Ehrmann Cancer Fund. Tice and Haigh look forward to working with our great members for the next few months to honor Brother Lang’s memory.
