N.J. STATE FIREMEN’S RELEIF ASSOCIATION: Glenn Roemmich
advised that the Caucus this year will be a walk thru again, held at the
Paulsboro Firehouse on Thursday August 19
th
. You will not receive any
money for attending the Caucus but any Delegates who does not attend will
be penalized $ 100.00 from their convention reimbursement check. You will
be voting on your Executive Committeeman and Board of Mangers
representative. There is an Executive Committee meeting this Saturday at
the State office at 0900. During that meeting the Executive committee will
be finalizing plans for the walk thru convention, and what Delegates and
Life Members will receive for attending the convention. It looks like
Delegates who stay in Wildwood will receive the full reimbursement, and
Life Members will still receive the normal up to 50 % of the Delegate
amount, since the hotels still will require a 3 night stay. If you commute
you will receive an amount that is still to be set. It looks like the convention
walk thru will be on Friday. I will have more information at our next
meeting. It is my understanding that the local associations should see your
direct deposits in your account tomorrow, since the 15
th
is Saturday.
