IMPORTANT
MEETING NEWS
NYS
FOP HQ
Due to recent changes by the New York State FOP
Lodge, only subordinate FOP lodges are allowed to have meetings in
the State building.
Therefore, we can no longer have our
membership meetings at that location.
As members of
our Retired Transit Police Officers Association, I ask all of you to
support all the
2024
reunions when possible as each reunion is being coordinated by
members of our association.
Keep
our 2nd to none comradery alive by supporting each
gathering.
Bob Valentino, President

MEETINGS
AT SPUNTINO'S RESTAURANT HAVE BEEN CANCELLED
We
regret to inform our members that we can no longer have our
membership meetings at Spuntino's Restaurant. Our
last meeting there was attended by over 60 members. The room,
being small but able to hold around 45 - 50 members, resulted in
seating almost shoulder to shoulder and, as it turned out, several
of those attending came down with COVID. We can say nothing bad
about the food or excellent service, but the restaurant has no
possibilty of expanding the room.
We
are hopeful that many more members will be attending these meetings
because remember, this is your Association and if you have anything
important to say, this is the time for it. |
