Our
next meeting will be in
Oct. 8, 2008 .
" The anniversary of 9-11-01 is upon us.
As your Chaplain I ask you to remember in your
thoughts and prayers all those who lost their lives on that terrible day and the
loved ones they left behind.
I also ask you to appreciate the honor,
courage, and commitment of those who gave their lives to save others on that
day. Especially our own Tommy Jurgens,
Mitch Wallace, and Harry
Thompson.
For there can be no greater love than to lay
down your life for your friends"

Reminder re
2008 Memberships:
We hope all renewing F.O.C.O. members have already signed up for 2008!
If you neglected to renew your membership for 2008 by March 31st, you
are subject to a $15 late fee and thus, must submit $30 with your
renewal application. As per our Constitution & By-Laws, March 31st is
the cut-off date for all membership renewals.
Any eligible NEW
member wishing to join F.O.C.O. after March 31st may still join for the
usual $15. Thanks for your cooperation!
What F.O.C.O. Is All About
F.O.C.O. is about
Court Officers getting involved to help Court Officers in times of
need. We have been there to buy gifts for the children of slain Court
Officers Brenda Steward and Francisco Rosa every holiday season. We
have been there to run and assist in fundraising efforts to help our
sister and brother Officers in Westchester, New York, the Bronx,
Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
F.O.C.O. is the only
Court Officer organization with members in every bargaining unit and
every region of New York State. We are an all volunteer organization
with team leaders throughout the state.
F.O.C.O. is about
Court Officers getting involved to help the communities in which we
serve. Thanks to the success of our Holiday Raffle, in recent years we
have been able to donate thousands of dollars to New York charities. In
the last three years, our Holiday Teddy Bear Drive has raised over 2,100
teddy bears for hospitalized and less fortunate children.
The time is right
for the one organization for all Court Officers;
We are proud to be
that organization.
