Lodge Business

Treasurer reports the financial health of the lodge is okay.  A complete financial statement is available during each monthly meeting or available from the Lodge Treasurer upon request.

We continue to have issues over due's automatically deducted from C-Mar accounts with members having insufficient funds to cover the monthly costs.  The executive boards is currently looking at avenues to address this continuing problem.

Regular & Life membership cards have gone out.   Unfortunately, once again we have numerous issues in which the packages are returned due to bad addresses.  All members are strongly encouraged to keep all of their contact information up to date.  All you have to do is click the "Membership Update" link on the top left of this page and fill out the online information update form.  Once you click submit your information automatically goes to the lodge secretary.

Expired memberships are currently being dealt with.  Members not current will receive a post card in the mail notifying them of the suspension of their benefits.

Our 2008 taxes should be done soon.

Membership voted to pay the 2009 membership due's for one of our members currently serving in Iraq and one of our members on extended medical leave.

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
