A "new era for the women of Eagledom" was launched when an amendment to the Grand      Aerie Laws passed unanimously, establishing a Grand Auxiliary. The event took place during the 1951 Grand Aerie Convention in Rochester, New York, August 8-12.

"It was a great moment in the history of the ladies auxiliary of the Fraternal Order of Eagles," said Lester Loble, Past Grand Worthy President.

Auxiliaries Trace Roots to 1927

Actually, Eagles auxiliaries existed long before the Grand Auxiliary was formed, with the first dating back to March 24, 1927 in Pittsburgh, Kansas. Three days later, the second auxiliary was instituted in Frontenac, Kansas.

By March, 1951, 965 local auxiliaries were in existence, boasting 130,000 members. By the end of that year, 22 state and provincial auxiliaries were operating.

"The progress made in the last 24 years is a solid foundation on which Eagle            Auxiliaries must continue to build," said Mrs. Eagle magazine,  which began              publishing in 1948.
