About Us
The Van Buren Eagles #3996 is a friendly place to visit and we encourage anyone interested to stop by and ring the bell. Someone will assist you and take you on a tour. If you enjoy karaoke, making friends, special functions, Friday night dinners out and helping other people, we are the place for you.
Our motto is "People Helping People". We work to better our community by raising money for charities such as autism, childhood leukemia, and Mott’s Children’s Hospital. We invite you to visit us and attend an event. Our members are more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the Eagles and how you can join. There are Eagles all over the United States and once you are a member here you can visit any of the other Aeries. |
F.O.E. History
The F.O.E. was founded in February, 1898 by six theatre owners gathered in a Seattle shipyard to discuss a musician's strike. After addressing the matter, they agreed to "bury the hatchet" and form "The Order of Good Things." As numbers grew, members selected the Bald Eagle as the official emblem and changed the name to "The Fraternal Order of Eagles." The Fraternal Order of Eagles includes nearly 800,000 members and more than 1,500 locations across the United States and Canada.
