FOE Grand Worthy President Brian Rogers

Brothers and Sisters of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and everyone else who followed Colleen and I on this incredible journey we call, Grand Worthy President.
The entire year is more than just a memory. It has been a life changing experience that will forever be a part of me.
So many people came together to help move the needle and bring our organization out of the chaos commonly referred as COVID.
Now as we begin to Usher in our 125th Anniversary let us continue to push forward and keep moving the needle. Let's strive to make each year a little better than the last.

Finally I would like to say on more time from Colleen and I before this site rolls over th GWP Rick Powell, THANK YOU, you are all amazing people, Thank you for being there, and above all, thank you for being Eagles.
Remember, together we can ensure that no future generation will ever live in a world, without, the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
