About Us


Lakeville Eagles Club


For more than a century, the Fraternal Order of Eagles has had a major positive influence on our region, nation, world... And most importantly on our communities.

It was the Eagles who pushed for the founding of Mother's Day, who provided the impetus for Social Security and, who pushed to end job discrimination based on age. The Eagles have provided support for medical centers across the country to build and provide research for medical conditions - we raise millions of dollars every year to combat heart disease and cancer, support children and elderly causes and make life a little brighter for everyone.

The Fraternal Order of Eagles uphold and nourish the values of home, family and community that are so necessary and it seems so often get ignored and trampled in today's society.

The Eagles are hometown builders. We support our police, firefighters, and others who protect and serve. We fund medical research in areas such as spinal cord injuries, kidney disease, diabetes and Alzheimer's. We help raise money for our communities...we are the Eagles and we are "People Helping People."

The History of Four Pens


The History of Four Pens Through the years, the Fraternal Order of Eagles has encouraged programs and legislation that benefit many Americans — especially the young and old. The "Four Pens" are the actual instruments three United States presidents and a governor used to sign the documents that made these programs a reality. Each of these pens, which is displayed at the F.O.E. International Headquarters in Grove City, Ohio was presented to the F.O.E. by the legislator who signed the bill or measure.

Old Age Pensions
"You Eagles have planted this seed...if the Eagles of the United States never do anything else, they have more than justified their existence in their advocacy of this great humanitarian movement."

Gov. Joseph M. Dixon, Governor of Montana, signing into law America's first old age pension law (1923)

Social Security
"The pen I am presenting the Order is a symbol of my approval of the Fraternity's vision and courage. May its possession inspire your members to dedicate their efforts and those of the Fraternity...to bring a greater degree of happiness to our people."

President Franklin D. Roosevelt, on the occasion of the signing of the Social Security Act (1935)

Jobs After 40
"The Eagles started this whole idea. That is why I invited the Eagles to be at this private bill signing, and the reason I am presenting this pen to the Fraternal Order of Eagles."

President Lyndon B. Johnson, signing the federal "Jobs After 40" bill, outlawing upper age limits in hiring

Medicare
"For your energetic and dedicated espousal of social justices, and for the generous support you have given to all measures designed to further economic opportunity and the compassionate treatment of the sick and disabled."

President Lyndon B. Johnson, in a message to the Eagles on the signing of the Medicare amendment to the Social Security Act.
