RETIREES CORNER TOM COTTON
Greetings fellow retirees, I hope you’ll are enjoying this unseasonable weather we are having. I know I am. Evan got to sneak in a round of golf the other day, when the temperature got into the 50’s. We had a real good turnout at the last meeting. It was the same day as Steve Pridemore’s retirement reception at the old south district. We saw several new faces and a lot of regular faces. Speaking of regular faces, our snow birds hiding in warmer places are missed. Hurry home. Two things of interest. Many of you should have received a letter with a range schedule in it. This is of interest to those who qualify every year for the Federal Gun Permit. If you didn’t receive the letter you can go to the FOP web site, fop86.org. It is posted there. I will also have some copies at the next meeting. Also you will note a difference in your pay checks starting the first of February. It will be in the form of an 8 by 10 sheet of paper with deduction information at the top and the check attached at the bottom. Those with direct deposit will have a sheet of paper with just the information at the top. If you have any questions when you receive yours, contact our pension specialist, Melissa Dean at 327-3126. Upcoming events at the FOP, regular business meeting 2-2, Texas Hold-um 2-17, social and corn hole tournament 2-29, St. Patrick’s Day party 3-17. Our next meeting is February 9th, celebrating Valentine’s Day. Until then, stay safe and healthy and have a super, SUPER BOWL WEEKEND.
American Legion Police Post 56
Your American Legion Police Post 56 continues to survive and strengthen. At our last meeting we brought in two new members. One new member and one transfer. We also received a 100% streamer to put on our post flag. We want you to be a part of our post. If you are a veteran, you are eligible to belong. Visit our next meeting and see what we are about and how the Legion works for you. Speaking of the next meeting, it will be March 22nd, 1800hrs at the FOP. This is a change from what we talked about at the last meeting do to scheduling conflicts. There are several events of interest coming up this summer. The big one is the National American Legion Convention, August 25-30. In anticipation of this the State Post is recruiting volunteers to assist. They are holding a state convention April 13-15. At that time they will be forming committees to work various events, such as a parade, housing, socials ect. So this is a good time to get involved. A lot of things happening.
