TO ALL RETIREES,
ON MONDAY THE 29TH OF SEPTEMBER, WE WILL HOLD OUR MONTHLY FIRE & POLICE LUNCHEON AT THE GOLDEN CORRAL. THIS LUNCHEON IS WELL ATTENDED BY BOTH MEMBERS OF THE FIRE AND POLICE SERVICE. THIS MONDAY IS VERY IMPORTANT. WE HAVE INVITED ALL OF THOSE CANDIDATES WHO ARE RUNNING FOR A TRUSTEE POSITION TO ATTEND OUR LUNCHEON AND TALK TO OUR MEMBERS. ALL CANDIDATES HAVE ACCEPTED AND WILL BE THERE. CURRENT TRUSTEE MARK BOGUSH IS OUT OF TOWN AND CANNOT ATTEND. HE DID POST AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL RETIREES ON OUR MESSAGE BOARD. BE SURE TO READ HIS LETTER. I WAS ASKED TO READ HIS LETTER AT THE LUNCHEON FOR THE BENEFIT OF THOSE WHO DO NOT USE A CUMPUTER. I WOULD LIKE TO TELL ALL OF YOU HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT WE VOTE TO ELECT OUR TRUSTEES AND TO ELECT THE RIGHT ONES. IN THE PAST, THE NEEDS OF THE RETIREES HAVE BEEN MOSTLY IGNORED. TODAY, THERE IS A NEW CONCEPT AMONG THE TRUSTEES. OUR CURRENT TRUSTEES DO UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF THE RETIREES. I BELIEVE THAT TODAYS TRUSTEES INTEND TO REPRESENT RETIREES AND ALL FUND MEMBERS TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITIES. THIS CHANGE TOOK TIME TO BRING ABOUT BUT IT HAS HAPPENED. WE NOW MOVE AHEAD AS FUND MEMBERS, IN TOTO, NOT AS RETIREES OR ACTIVE, BUT A FUND MEMBERS
AS RETIREES, WE DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE FOR THE TRUSTEE OF OUR CHOICE. YOU MEMBERS HOLD A LOT OF POWER WITH YOUR VOTING NUMBERS. THERE ARE ABOUT 1500 RETIREES, GIVE OR TAKE A FEW, BUT THAT IS A BIG NUMBER. WHAT WE NEED TO HAVE IS A RETIREE VOTE IN THE 1000 VOTE RANGE. AS RETIREES, I DON'T KNOW WHY WE DON'T HAVE A VOTE IN THE 1500 RANGE. IT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. THIS TRUSTEE VOTE IS MORE IMPORTANT, TO RETIREES, THAN YOUR VOTE FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. YOUR TRUSTEES HAVE MUCH MORE INFLUENCE OVER YOU, THE FUND AND YOUR BENEFITS THAN ANY ONE IN WASHINGTON. THAT MAKES YOUR TRUSTEE VOTE VERY IMPORTANT. ON MONDAY EVENING, WE WILL POST THE NAME OF THE FIRE AND POLICE TRUSTEE THAT WE FEEL WILL SERVE THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE FUND AND ALL MEMBERS. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO CAST YOUR VOTE FOR THOSE SELECTED UNLESS YOU HAVE PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF SOMEONE ELSE. WE SIMPLY SCREEN THE CANDIDATES SO THAT OUR MEMBERS WILL HAVE AN IDEA OF WHO TO VOTE FOR. I ENCOURAGE ALL TO USE THEIR VOTE, IN EVERY ELECTION, AND LET YOUR CHOICE BE KNOWN. WE NEED A BIG VOTE THIS YEAR, LETS DO IT. POLICE VOTE IS SET FOR OCT. 5 & 6. THE FIRE VOTE IS SET FOR OCT. 11, 12 & 13.
IN CLOSING, VOTE FOR WHOM YOU WISH. JUST VOTE.
LOOK FOR THE RF&PA ENDORSEMENTS ON MONDAY EVENING. THANKS AND GOD BLESS AMERICA, OUR FAMILIES AND US ALL.
