 The Paulding Fraternal Order of Eagles members donated $5,000 to the Paulding County Trails Project on Monday, November 25th, 2024.  The donation will be used to help bring recreational trails to Paulding County. 

The Paulding County Trail Project, when complete, will provide users safe access to destination points, outdoor experiences, and space for recreation. The trail will be a paved, multi-use pathway that will provide a safe place for walking, jogging, cycling, strolling, and wheelchair use. 

The Paulding County Trails Committee has a vision for connection and building a better quality of life for people in the area, and is working to make this trail system a reality and is thankful to have the support of the Fraternal Order of Eagles to help make this project a reality. The Fraternal Order of Eagles is a celebrated organization dedicated to serving the community through leadership, charity, and civic pride.
