President’s Message – March 2026

Greetings to all!

I hope that this letter finds all members and their families doing well. If I never see another snowflake again I will be a very happy man.

Our next meeting, the 1st of the new year, will be on Thursday March 19th 7:00 PM at:

Kearsing & Edwards American Legion Post #1600
20 Station Road, Pomona, NY

Come out and see your fellow brothers and sisters in Blue!

On the political front, Marianne Pizzatola, and the Organization of Public Service Retirees, is sponsoring a bus trip to Albany on Tuesday March 24th to support protecting our health benefits! We are trying to get enough people to fill a bus leaving from Rockland. If you are interested, please let me know. We will be meeting at the Palisades Mall in the parking lot by the Cheesecake Factory. It will be a long day, probably from 8am till 7pm, but we will be talking about our benefits so it will be worth it.

The National 10-13’s 37th Annual Convention is 1 month earlier this year. The dates are Sunday August 16th thru Tuesday August 18th, 2026. There is a flyer located on the 2nd page of the March 2026 Newsletter that has all the information listed. Reserve your rooms soon before they fill up.

Take care and stay safe,
Michael Sweeney
President
