Welcome To The Rockland County Shields
President's Message: Summer 2024
This summer has caused many of us to appreciate the technology of air conditioning (especially in the Northeast).
We were able to have our June BBQ outside at the Haverstraw Elks. It was hot. It was humid. The food was excellent and everyone had a great evening.
The staff at the Elks, once again, did an outstanding job for our meeting
Thanks to all who helped to make our Super 50-50 a great success.
I would like to extend a very special “Thank You” to Mrs. Peggy Finn (widow of our Founder, Tim Finn) for drawing the winning ticket.
Once again, John Pinto did a super job running the Super 50-50, which helps fund our annual scholarship program.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, Sept. 25th, at the Haverstraw Elks.
Before that, on Sept. 11th, there will be ceremonies all over the country remembering the tragic events in NY City, the Pentagon, and Flight 93 in Stonycreek, Pennsylvania. We must never forget the devastating losses of first responders and civilians 23 years ago.
Upcoming events:
- NY Boulders vs Ottawa Titans, Clover Stadium, August 15th.
- LEOSA qualification, Rockland County Police Range, September 4th.
See you at the Elks.
Fraternally,
Ed Weireter
