DRC Matching Campaign Exceeds Goal
Throughout November and December, donations to The Fraternal Order of Eagles Diabetes Research Center were to be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $55,000 thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor.
In that time, Eagles around the United States and Canada rallied to raise $264,312.72 for the cause in addition to the $55,000 matched donation for a total of $319,312.72. This tremendous effort exceeds last year's total of $166,750.32. Many of you went above and beyond the call of duty to help exemplify the spirit of "People Helping People." For that, we cannot thank you enough. |

Joining Made Simple
The Grand Aerie Membership Department has created a new tool on our website to increase membership at local Aeries and Auxiliaries. Non-members who visit foe.com can now click on the "Become A Member" tab and fill out a brief form. Once submitted, the form is sent to the Membership Department where Grand Aerie staff will contact prospective members to help answer any questions they have regarding the F.O.E. and help them get in contact with an Aerie or Auxiliary in their community.
Many have already taken advantage of this new service and we encourage current members to reach out to family, friends, neighbors and co-workers with this quick, simple method in taking the first step toward joining the Eagles. |

Last month's question:
I have ten coins in my pocket. The coins total value is 50 cents. How many coins of each denomination are there?
Answer: 5 pennies, 4 dimes and 1 nickel
Current question:
You have three boxes of fruit. One contains just apples, one contains just oranges, and one contains a mixture of both. Each box is labeled -- one says "apples," one says "oranges," and one says "apples and oranges." However, it is known that none of the boxes are labeled correctly. How can you label the boxes correctly if you are only allowed to take and look at just one piece of fruit from just one of the boxes?
