KERMIT SANDERS LODGE 13
Monthly Meeting Notes

 

May 2, 2007

The next regular scheduled Lodge meeting is Wednesday, June 6th at 4:30pm.  Four Officers and Ten members were present during the May Meeting.  The session was opened with a prayer and the pledge by Lodge Chaplain Scotty Davis.  Sister Nerbonne won the $50 attendance award.  Thanks to the FOPA for the Taco Salad Dinner. 

The Executive Board & those members who regularly attend the monthly meetings strongly encourage more members make a effort to be present to conduct lodge business.  Attendance has been dismal the last 3-4 months.

Lodge Business

The time has come to pay your 2007 FOP dues.  Please send a check for the amount of $78 to FOP Lodge 13, P.O. Box 360, Marietta Ga. 30061.  A $5 late fee is now in effect.  Please send your due's and late fee soon.  Soon you membership will be suspended for non payment of dues.  We hope every member realizes the value of a membership in our lodge.  The most important benefit is access to a lodge attorney should the need arise.  Where else can you get legal representation for only $78 per year.

Liabilities with the way we currently provide legal representation to members was discussed.  Members present gave input into the direction they felt the lodge should take.  Two more meeting are scheduled (June & July) for discussion prior to members taking a final vote.  It is strongly encouraged that all members try to attend at least one of the meetings to make your feelings known.

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.
