Felix Rendon, our PAC Chairman, asked that I post the entire endorsement list for the next elections. I have attached the file to this post.

"For 30 years the Calibre Press Street Survival Seminar has been the ultimate police training experience. We have assembled a dynamic team of police trainers with 150 years of combined experience who will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire two days. The Street Survival seminar will motivate, inspire, and teach officers not only to survive but to WIN!"

The seminar is coming to San Antonio on March 23-24, 2010. I have attached the flyers for the event.

Attached is the new amendment to our Dental/Optical plan.
