Rothecker reported on the National Convention which was attended by members of our lodge. The convention was held
in New Orleans the first week of August. Our lodge was headquartered out of the Sheraton on Canal Street. The convention
was at the New Orleans Convention Center. Bjorkman spoke to the membership on the LEMA Golf Tournament. LEMA was
happy to have our support and showed it by having the FOP logo on the website and at the event. There was apparently
some concern on another organizations part that the FOP was involved with LEMA and this may have caused some teams
associated with the other organization to withdraw their teams from the event. Other than that everyone had a good
time. Sickness and distress, nothing to report. Good of the order. With nothing further a motion was made to close
the meeting and start the BBQ. Motion was made and 2nd passed.
Next meeting is set for September 14, 2005 1800 hrs at Gabes by the Park, St Paul.
