Northern Virginia Fools News

Ok…as of just a few days ago, the International has finally been able to update every chapter’s membership into a new computer database.  Today, I received a complete list of those names from our chapter that are actually on file as members of Fools International.  There are almost 30 names that need to be updated (sent in) to Ellen in order to make our chapter’s roster up to date.  I will be sending those in with the appropriate dues amount so all of our members will be on file.  I know I have asked this before so bear with me for the last time (hopefully).  If you did not receive your Fools International Membership Card, please leave a comment below with your first and last name and that you NEED a card still.  Please do not comment if you DO NOT NEED a card.  Any questions should be forwarded to me via email.  This will still take a little time to sort out and get everyone’s name to the International.

It’s that time of the year again.  Although a little late, membership dues will be due by May 1, 2008.  We have had a lot going on recently with the preparing for, and the cancelling our Spring Training event, and with the organizing of our Kick-Ash-Bash on April 12th.  For those who wish to remain active members, you must pay your dues by May 1st via PayPal by following this link, or the link on the website.  Dues are still $20 for the year.  If you do not pay by May 1st, your membership may be revoked and you will have to re-apply.  If you cannot pay via PayPal, please contact a member of the EBoard as soon as possible.

We will be hosting a Brotherhood Bash for all area firefighters, Fools members, Emerald Society members, wives, girlfriends, husbands, better-halves, etc…The bash will be held at Mackey’s American Pub located at 9412 Main Street in downtown Manassas, starting at 7 pm and ending when they kick us out.  This is a chance for anyone who is not a current Fools member to become one by filling out an application that night.  The beer is on us too!  We will have beer, food, music, brotherhood, stories, and a short presentation on what the Fools are all about.    So stop on by and share in the festivities, and don’t forget to bring your lids for some pictures.  If you are going, please leave a comment below.  Stay safe, see ya there.
