Ohio F.O.P. Lodge #21

Due to “National Night Out” falling on the 1st Tuesday of August every Year, there is no regular August meeting.

However,…. remember the Annual FOPA/FOP Picnic which is held on the following Tuesday, August 10th, at the Kermit Westbay Shelter House behind the Scout House.

Come and enjoy good eats, comaraderie and possibly a glimpse of the family of redtail hawks residing in the woods.  It appears that oine of the juveniles was born with only one leg, but seems to be adapting fine.

During the 76th Annual FOP State Conference held in Independence, Ohio on July 17th thru 20th, 2010, the following candidates were endorsed by the delegates for political office.  After two intense days of screenings by the Endorsement Committee, the recommendations were put to a vote of the floor for acceptance.  While not every candidate is the first choice for everyone, the committee and delegates felt that these candidates were very strong in the areas that the FOP deemed important for its members and the Ohio community as a whole.         

                                                                 

                                                                                               

                               

A new family of Red Tail Hawks has taken up residence at the Lodge.  The family consists of parents and a pair of babies.  They can be seen perched on the light poles, on the roofs of the building, in the trees around the lodge, on the picnic tables in the shelter house, on the ground (as in the pictures)  and even flying around Robb Park.
