Welcome Home PGWP Jerry Sullivan! On Saturday, August 12,

Fredericksburg #4123 was pleased to host a Welcome Home Party for brother Jerry Sullivan to celebrate the end of his terrific year as Grand Worthy President of the Fraternal Order of Eagles.

Donation to Lupus Research Alliance Jerry Sullivan dedicated his year as Grand Worthy

President to raising money for Lupus research in honor of his twin daughters who suffer from the disease. At the Grand Convention in Grand Rapids, MI in July, he presented Dorey Nelinger of the Lupus Research Alliance a grant for $50,000 and then surprised her with a second check for $160,159.15 raised by Brothers and Sisters of the Eagles. Jerry, Maxine and the Sullivan Family would like to thank everyone who donated to this cause through the year.
