From the President’s corner:

Dear Members,

Greetings! I hope this letter finds you all well and enjoying the Florida Fall weather.

We have had a very active several months. Your Central Fl COPS Board has carved out a great vision and laying the bricks for a solid foundation that will lead us into the future and ensure our ability to stand by one another as we tackle the mission of rebuilding shattered lives.

I am so proud of our fundraising efforts! Our Chapter has worked hard and our hard work has paid off! Through our Chapter’s efforts, many volunteer hours and monies raised through “DFC Brandon Coates Memorial Golf Tournament”; The Brevard Law Ride”; “The Central FL COPS Ride”; “COPS Bunko”; “Family Day at the Police Hall of Fame”; “The Yankee Candle Fundraiser”, our Chapter has reached two main goals.

For the first time in the history of the Central Fl Chapter of COPS, the Chapter was able to send members, who were first year survivors, to National Police Week. Twenty (20) members, who were first year survivors, attended the 2011 National Police Week to honor their hero.

Also for the first time in our Chapter’s history, we were able to send all of our members who contacted us to the hands-on programs. Our members attended the Parents Retreat, Siblings Retreat, and the Spouse’s Retreat. We are truly walking on the “Road to Hope”.

Our Blue Light Event, held at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort was an amazing success. We had over 60 members in attendance. We were honored with the presence of the United States Honor Flag, Congresswoman Sandy Adams, Christopher Heisler, President of the Honor Network and Sheriff Jerry Demings, Orange County Sheriff. We released a blue balloon for every hero in our chapter. We will never forget!

During the Blue Light Event, we also debut the “Central Florida COPS Wall of Honor”. An absolute honoring moment as we will forever remember and honor our loved ones who made the ultimate sacrifice! Many thanks to Vice President Alan Rainey and his wife, Debbie, for building the wall!

As we move into the Holiday Season, I wish you peace. We will continue to move forward in 2012. With all of us working together our Chapter will continue to thrive and build.

I look forward to seeing you all at upcoming events and meetings. Please do not hesitate to call me with any ideas, concerns or questions. My cell number is 321-436-8500 or email at mjkhugs@aol.com.

May God bless us all!

Take Care,

Mary
