Answer


A:  FOP Lodge 15 generally avoids mailing information and
membership cards to the membership as a whole, due to the large
amount of returned mail that is generated with such mailings.  It
has been our experience that our members are better served by
avoiding ineffective/unnecessary expenditures.  Instead, we send
updates and information electronically through e-mail and social
media.  We also ask that members attend membership meetings
frequently in order to stay current on FOP Lodge 15 business, and
pick up their membership cards at meetings or during regular
business hours.  Representatives from local police associations may
pick up cards for their entire association if they wish (please call in
advance to allow time for preparation).  Our newsletter, The
Shield, is now sent electronically to our membership.   Please e-mail
diamonddave206@yahoo.com to be added to the mailing list.  Rest
assured, your information is always held in the strictest of
confidence by FOP Lodge 15, and you are able to unsubscribe from
the mailing list at any time that you choose.  Find us on Facebook
under
Eastern Missouri Coalition of Police, FOP Lodge 15.
