December 10, 2011 Dear Brothers and Sisters: As we reflect on this past year we should all be thankful to the Ohioans that supported our cause in keeping collective bargaining. For what attempted to divide us, united all unions with a voice that was not only heard here in the Buckeye State, but across the United States of America. Also, a personal thank you to all those members who assisted in that cause. Just a note of thanks for your support this past year. I hope all members are able to enjoy a “Merry little Christmas” with family and friends. A special thought goes out to our members and their families who are serving overseas fighting for America’s freedom. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. Looking forward to seeing you all in the new year. Fraternally, David E. Dobbins President Once again the alternate position for the Negotiating Committee is vacant. Congratulations to Paul Baker as he has excepted a TWL Park Officer Supervisor position for the Southeast District making him ineligible for the negotiating team. Matt Pfarr and Paul Lallier have accepted nominations for the vacant position. A vote will be held at the next meeting (tentatively set for February 6, 2012). If there are any questions, contact one of the current Negotiation Committee Members. Our Lodge made a donation to Dave Frank for this event. Great Job Dave! "I finally got the climb results today and here is how I did. I raised a total of $ 640.00 and out of the 24 climbers (male & female) I placed 7th overall with a time of 7:41.7. I would like to thank all of you who donated to the memory of Cindi’s cousin Jill. Overall for the whole weekend Cleveland / NE Ohio CFF raised over $150,000 with three events (Wine Tasting, Stair Climb and Strides Walk). Thank you again and I hope to do this again next year. Dave Frank" Below is a list of members that still owe $7.00 Assessment (Updated 01-27-2012)
Below explains the $7 assessment: Our State Lodge passed a motion on January 29, 2011 at the winter board meeting to join a Public Safety coalition with all law enforcement and firefighter unions in order to have a strong front to save collective bargaining. In doing so, comes the need for funding for this project. An assessment was passed stating that the lodges around the State of Ohio would have to pay seven dollars ($7.00) for each member. In turn, at our last lodge meeting, February 8, 2011, a motion was passed to have each member be personally responsible for reimbursing the lodge for the $7.00 assessment. This would allow us to pay our per capita to the state and national lodges in April. “Any member in arrears in dues or assessments more than thirty days and less than ninety days shall be deemed delinquent and not in good standing.” (Section 7 of the Constitution and By-Laws FOP Lodge 149) We are asking that each member send the $7.00 assessment to: FOP #149 C/O Jeremy Davis, Lodge Secretary PO BOX 419 Kingston, Ohio 45644
If you would like a receipt, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Thank you to those that have already paid! A motion has been made for a Constitution change. It has been read three times and was passed by member vote. It must now go to the State Lodge for approval. ARTICLE III MEMBERSHIP AND DUES SECTION 7.
