David Wooster, Grand Worthy President, joined the Eagles in September of 1980. He joined the mixed doubles bowling league with his mom at Flint Aerie 629, in downtown Flint. He quickly became involved in the renovation of the old dairy on Dort Highway, which the Aerie had bought as their new home. Being a plumber by trade, David volunteered his services and completed the new plumbing at the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David became President of Flint Aerie 629 in 1983-84 and has held all offices in his aerie except for Treasurer. He became a district officer and when the decision was made to remove the district secretary position out of rotation, he was asked to take the position, which he held for 10 years. He was also chairman of the Genesee County Fair Beer tent which the District volunteered to run to raise money for their charities and David held that position for 10 years as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

District 4 Aerie and Auxiliary volunteers raised thousands of dollars for the different Michigan State Aerie and Auxiliary Presidents charities. David is also a past Zone 2 chairman. David moved onto the State level, ascending through the various chairs before being installed as the Michigan State Worthy President in the 2011-2012 term. In 2016, he was elected as Grand Aerie Outside Guard at the International Convention in Reno, Nevada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David is a firm believer in the Fraternal Order of Eagles motto \u201cPeople Helping People\u201d as well the four stances which represent the Aerie ritual. David served on the Ritual Committee at multiple National Conventions and then went on to serve on the Judiciary Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David served his country in the USMC and after he married, he worked in the plumbing and heating business until he became a cross connections and plumbing & mechanical inspector for the City of Flint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David and his wife Norma have been married for more than 50 years and have two children; Victor and his wife Stacy, and Jaime and her husband Mike. They also have two granddaughters, Bristol and McLain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
