OUR FEBRUARY MEETING
(left to right: Jerry Carmosin, Linda Buck, Charley Messemer & John Rohr)
At our last meeting Linda Buck stopped by to say hello to old friends.
Linda used to be the General Manager of the Plattduetsche Park Restaurant.
A post she held from 1996 to 2006. It was all smiles when she walked into the room. She has since "passed the buck" to her son Matt.
Our February Meeting also saw our Special Guest Speaker;
Deputy Chief Paul Mannix speak to the members present.
He discussed the recent decision regarding the hiring of minorities into the FDNY.
NYC at this time plans to appeal the decision, but as Paul says, "we have to make
sure the City follows through on its pledge to right this wrong". He is the watchdog in this uphill battle. DC Mannix applauded the Steuben Association for sticking to their mission of preserving the Merit System. He cited past President
Al Schaffner as one who was as outspoken as him. He also informed us that other cities have succeeded in reversing old decisions regarding hiring quotas.
Cleveland, and Philadelphia are two cities that have won these decisions.
Paul entertained many questions from the crowd and then thanked us for letting him speak. He will soon have two websites up to keep us informed.
They are www.meritmatters.com and www.afa.com
Many thanks to DC Mannix for an interesting and informative talk.
Other business that was discussed: Charley Messemer spoke of
a trip he is planning to Prague. You will cruise on the Danube River from there into the city of Budapest. It's a 12 day excursion. Trip will take place in September or October of this year. E-mail Charley at grandmajonah@aol.com
We also had a few members that joined up at the meeting. They are:
Mike Sarro (L-117), Roy Bacchi (L-117), Leroy McKeever (Bx Disp Ret),
and New Lifetime member- Kevin Candido (L-111)

2009 GOLF OUTING-ANOTHER GREAT DAY
The weather was with us as we embarked onto the course in Forest Park.
72 Golfers (18 4sums) showed up for our 13th Annual Tournament which benefits the Scholarship Fund. All had a good day and although the scores were high everybody remarked they hit the ball well. The golfing ended at around 3:30pm, and then it was on to dinner at Ernie Von Westernhagens.
At the conclusion of dinner the awards were presented.
The Longest Drive went to Jim Pue of Ladder 163.
Closest to the pin and lowest score (77) went to Alan Berotti.
The most honest golfer award went to Donald Grauer (Retired Suffolk Cty PD)
After a hard day of Golf, our most honest golfer; (L to R)
Donald Grauer (Retired Suffolk Cty. PD) sits with friends,
Walter Fuhrman (Ret Suffok Cty PD), Bill Meurer (Ret E293)
and son Jim Meurer. They enjoyed a good hearty meal at Ernie's.
Donald was awarded a nice prize for his honesty.

Many thanks to Charlie Messemer, Jerry Carmosin, Bobby Ryall, Brian Bittrolff,
Jimmy Hayhurst, and John Rohr and son John for their hard work.
