MONDAY – FEBRUARY 13TH, 2012

Our first Florida Retirees Luncheon since our “founder”, John Parker passed away, will be held in his honor, at the Swamp House Grill in DeBary, Florida. John had asked that we continue are gatherings in order to further our friendship & strengthen the bonds we formed with each other during our years of police service. Please e-mail Mike Flaherty at MFLAHERTY@CFL.RR.COM, who will host the February gathering that John Parker was planning, if you will be attending the luncheon. Also advise the names of any guests that will attend with you. We need to advise the restaurant of how many will be attending by Feb. 5th.

The rooms and condo’s are absolutely beautiful and can be shared, so cut the room prices to fit the occupants number.

Familiarize yourself with the details of the contract all the info is there. Call John and I if there are any questions.

For those who are going, fishing charters can be arranged where you are picked up at one of the two Marina’s, along with other activities that we will arrange. Golf carts will be available for rent to get around the resort on a daily basis and other activities will be arranged for as the reunion gets closer. So, email John or I and let us know who is going, so we can keep you abreast of all the changes and additions that we will plan.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

FOP Lodge 89 and the PGPD Retirees’ Association try to keep the membership abreast of issues affecting our fellow members. Those issues include births, illnesses, injuries and/or deaths. The only way we obtain information is usually through family, friends and you—the affected member’s brothers and sisters. We do our best as a fraternal organization to get that information out to the membership as quickly and as timely as possible.

Members should contact the FOP during regular business hours at 301-952-0882 or via email. When making any notification to the FOP, please provide as much information and details as possible. Any delay in posting or omission is unintentional. Also, any issues or concerns should be directed to me—since I have ultimate authority in what information is or is not disseminated on behalf of the FOP. I would greatly appreciate everyone’s assistance with this matter. Thank you for your time and attention.

Ismael “Vince” Canales, President, FOP Lodge 89
