President's Message

Sadly, I have to report to you that a little bit of The Shields has died since the October Call Box. Both, Board Member Matt Walsh and Past President Joe Klun, passed away leaving a tremendous void in both their families and the Shields family. Our deepest sympathies are extended to Eleanor Walsh and Ginny Klun.

Thanks to author, Peter Hellman, for spending time with us at our last meeting and telling us the "real" reason NYPD Chief of Detectives Al Seedman suddenly retired in 1972.

Mike Villa and his committee are hard at work planning our December 4th Children’s Holiday Party. They have promised a good time, and Bob Forrester has promised that Santa will also make an appearance.

Remember you must pay your 2012 dues by 12/31/11 to be eligible for our $100 drawing.

Try to be at our December 1st meeting and bring a potential new member.

REMEMBER TO BRING A TOY TO OUR DECEMBER 1st MEETING

Have a happy and prosperous holiday. Remember in your prayers those who are protecting our country, at home and abroad. Be safe!

Fraternally,
Richie
