No major bills are due.
Currently

donations and due's payment. Details should be announced
soon.
Congratulations to Brother Jack Fulenwiders son who has attained
the rank of Eagle Scout.
Brother
Gaynor provided a legislative update on the various issues at
the state and federal level.
Fee's for
use of the lodge during 2010 will be as follows: Members -
$50 p/event, Non-Members $100 p/event. This increase
is in response to higher utility and other maintenance costs.
2010 lodge
due's of $75 should be paid now. Members
need to complete a new beneficiary form with payment of due's.
Failure to have an up to date beneficiary form could result in a
denial of death benefits.
In the
future all members wishing to apply for a Life Membership
(retired & a member 20+ years) must request it in writing.

Legal Representation
Critical Incident Lodge Attorney-
Click Here for details
Members "do not"
need the approval of the legal committee if you are
involved in a critical / use of force incident. The member or his
representative holds sole responsibility for contacting one of our four
attorney's should the
need arise.
If you are in need of an attorney for any other purpose a member of the Legal
Committee must be called before contacting an attorney. If you do not clear the
contact of an attorney through the Legal Committee the Lodge will not pay for
the legal services.
