THE CHARTER PRESENTATION
The presentation of a charter to a newly instituted Junior Order of Eagles (JOE) is very
important. It should be an outstanding occasion, impressive but not too long.
The charter presentation ceremony should be held in conjunction with a regular meeting of the
Aerie or Auxiliary. If it is impossible to hold the ceremony during a regular meeting, be sure that
Aerie and Auxiliary officers and members are urged to attend, whenever it is held.
In some cases it may become necessary to include the ceremony in the JOE meeting.
It is the responsibility of your JOE Advisory Committee (JOEAC) to prepare for and conduct the
charter presentation ceremony. When your meeting is set, your JOEAC representative should be
ready to announce the date they would like to have the charter presented. Discuss this with your
Aerie and Auxiliary.
The Worthy President and/or Madam President make appropriate remarks and conduct the
presentation of the charter to the JOE President and JOEAC representative(s). The JOE
President and JOEAC representative review their responsibilities and, if desired, make
appropriate remarks on behalf of the JOE. .
If there are visiting dignitaries present, the WP/MP presents them to the gathering for remarks.
The JOE may then put on a program in which the leaders tell of their plans, and request
cooperation of parents and the Aerie and Auxiliary. (Optional)
20
PURPOSE OF THE CHARTER PRESENTATION
1. To give public recognition of the new Junior Order of Eagles (JOE) and its affiliation with
the local and International Order.
2. To present the charter; the official document of the Grand Aerie creating and defining the
JOE as a branch of the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
3. To impress the members and their families with the purposes and ideals of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles and their responsibilities to the JOE, the sponsoring aerie, their
community and the Grand Aerie and Auxiliary.
4. To educate the community, through publicity of the occasion, concerning the JOE youth
program and the ideals of the FOE in general.
21
SUGGESTED PRESENTATION OF CHARTER CEREMONY
After the charter has been received from the Grand Aerie, most sponsoring aeries plan a special
program to officially present the charter to the JOE. This should a dignified occasion. The
following are some suggestions for conducting such an event. It is intended merely as a guideline
or as an example for a Presentation of Charter Ceremony. Feel free to be creative and design
your own ceremony based on the interests and personalities of your local members.
