Eagle Village Offers Residency for Seniors
Aerie and auxiliary members have the opportunity to enjoy the brotherhood and sisterhood
of Eagle Village, located in beautiful Bradenton, Florida. The senior community
is open to any member who has at least 15 years of continuous membership in the
Fraternal Order of Eagles, with priority given to applicants with the most years
of service and those of have made outstanding contributions to their local organizations.
Applicants must be retired or semi-retired and must remain so while residing at
the Village. Eagles' members applying must also be in reasonably good health and
be able to provide proof of good health.
Eagle Village is a 26 acre complex, with 85 units and a library, recreation center
and pool. Future plans for the Village includes building a 33 unit residential building
with single bedroom and double bedroom options. We are in the preliminary planning
stages, and the process for building this facility, currently dubbed "Lakeview 33,"
could take up to 2 to 2 1/2 years. Fundraising is being encouraged and applications
for current properties are being accepted.
At the recommendation of the Board of Grand Trustees, the Village Directors revised
one of the Qualifications for Application to Eagle Village in 2007. When meeting
the other qualifications, upon the death of the applicant, the spouse may remain
a resident of Eagle Village if he or she is a member of an aerie or auxiliary at
the time of the Village's annual lease renewal. Only Eagle Aerie or Auxiliary members
may sign a lease for Eagle Village residency. Additionally, at the recommendation
of the Board of Grand Trustees, single auxiliary members are eligible to apply for
units at Eagle Village.
