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.
