OCTOBER 2009 NEWSLETTER
PRESIDENT’S CORNER
A big thanks to all who participated in the Macon County Fair. You were instrumental in making our year end solicitation efforts a big success. This year we will again be participating in Halloween in the Park and the Christmas Parade. Any one interested in volunteering please contact your Lodge Secretary at J7696F@verizon.net. Brother Joe Hall will be leaving this Thursday, to spend a week at the Collective Bargaining Seminar in Myrtle Beach SC. This seminar is being put on by the National Lodge for the North and South Carolina State Lodges. Upon his return we will be scheduling informative meetings. I hope that these meetings will be well attended as this information will be most valuable to ALL ACTIVE Law Enforcement Officers.
