Please sign up both current
and Retired Members so that
you don't miss important
announcements such as retirements,
funerals, current events, etc.
Too many times Brothers and
Sisters miss out on these events
due to a Kelly Day, vacation day,
etc. By joining the list, I will be
able to send out a notification to
each member who signs up to keep
you all better informed as to what
is going on. To help in that, if you
have information about a funeral
notification or event, please e-mail
Jeff Boetto at:
FyrEater21@aol.com to let me
know the information
so it can be passed along.

In Loving Memory:

Never Forget
