Florida State Aerie and Auxiliary Presidents Update
April 22, 2020
Brothers and Sisters,
With much thought and regret we must officially announce the cancellations of all official state visitations for the rest of this fraternal year. While we realize that our Aeries are under a mandate by the State of Florida to be shut down, we felt the need to make the cancellations official due to the fact that there is talk by the State Officials of opening up the economy.
We are making this decision for varied reasons. While we miss visiting with all of you, our first and foremost concern is for the health and safety of all of our Brothers and Sisters. We must also consider the fact that our Aeries have been closed for some time now and, if opened, need to concentrate all of their efforts on regrouping and to get up and running financially again without the stress or burden of hosting a visitation or other event.
We have fielded numerous phone calls and emails in regards to our State Convention. As it stands today, we are still planning the State Convention to be held as planned. We are staying vigilant and on top of this and will notify everyone one way or the other as quickly as possible. Please continue to fill out all required forms and paperwork and have it ready to be sent to the State Secretaries as soon as notification is made to the Aerie and Auxiliary Secretaries.
While we realize that we are all getting a little stir crazy by now, we ask that everyone please follow the guidelines set out by our Local, State and Federal Officials on protecting ourselves and others from this virus. We want to see all of you in the near future and to embrace each other in the love and Fraternalism that this great Fraternity has honored us with.
God bless you all and we will see you on the Eagle trail.
Fraternally yours,
Greg Hall-Florida State Worthy President
Beth Spaulding Henschen-Florida State Madam President
