June 2000 Volume 81 Number 6 "serving the protectors"
By Colin Beames   Assistant Secretary

Monthly Meeting

Forty-five Retired Police Officers Association members attended their monthly meeting on May 4. Regular Police Credit Union speaker, Heather Hemingway, addressed the meeting on The Gold Card being offered to all serving police officers, as well as Retired Police Officers Association members.

Those who change from their current Credit Union card to the Gold Card can gain many advantages. Contact Cathy or Rachel at the Police Credit Union for information on the Gold Card.

Entertainment

After Heather had answered many questions about the Gold Card and explained B-Pay, she entertained the meeting with the fine singing of which we all know she is capable. She was ably assisted by her backing group: a tape recorder.
