After its big move into a former quilt store in Maple Leaf, the Fraternal Order of Eagles Mother Aerie One is ready to show off its new location at 8201 Lake City Way N.E. to the public with an official grand opening and open house starting at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27. 

The event is free and open to the public, and features a performance from 7-11 p.m. from country favorites Big Ed & Steel Country. You can read more about the private social club in our posts:

And below is more from Aerie No. 1:

The Fraternal Order of Eagles was founded in Seattle in 1898 by a group of competing theater owners who, after resolving their differences, formed an organization that was originally dubbed “The Order of Good Things” and asked its members to “Make human life more desirable by lessening its ills and promoting peace, prosperity, gladness and hope.” Their meetings were held on the stages of various theaters and after the business was completed, a keg of beer was rolled out and all enjoyed a few hours of social activities. As their numbers grew they took the bald eagle as their mascot and changed the name to the Fraternal Order of Eagles. The Order grew rapidly and within 10 years boasted 1,800 lodges with over 350,000 members. Seattle Aerie No.1 is the first of those lodges, and is refered to as the Mother Aerie.
 
Over the years, the Eagles advocated for the founding of Mother’s Day, provided the impetus for Social Security, and pushed to end job discrimination based on age. Nationally, the Eagles raise millions of dollars for charities and are currently partnered with the University of Iowa Medical Center in the Fraternal Order of Eagles Diabetes Research Center. The Eagles’ motto is “People Helping People”
 
In addition to raising monies for charities, the Seattle Aerie also sponsors the Shooting Stars Girls Drill team. The Eagles are eager to meet people in their new neighborhood and are always looking to welcome new members.
