Lodge Business

Membership voted to accept LEO as our telemarketer for 2010.

Brother Gaynor reviewed the current financial condition of the lodge.  No major bills are due.

Currently the lodge is in the process of accepting credit cards for 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.  All members who wish to know how long they have been a member can go to the national website at www.fop.net.   You can go to the "Members Only" area and apply for access.  Once approved you should find a link to your membership information, including the ability to change your address information.

Members are strongly encouraged to review the FOP Legal Defense Fund on the National Site for complete legal coverage.

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.

Legal Committee:

Steve Gaynor, Cobb PD, 770-757-6709
