January 2021

I hope this finds everyone doing well. The lodge held a “social gathering” on January 12, 2021. I was hoping that everything would be back to normal and we could resume normal activity at the lodge. That was not the case, but we all made the best of it.
 Everyone that showed up had a great time.. The bar was open for the meeting this month as some of the restrictions were lifted. The steak dinner is back and dinner was awesome.
Our next “Social Gathering” will be on February 9th. I hope to see you there.
If there are any new updates, I will get them posted asap.

Please be safe and keep everyone in your prayers.

Fraternally,

John Couey

Master Corporal Brian LaVigne

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of HCSO Master Corporal Brian LaVigne, killed in the line of duty on Monday, January 11, 2021. While assisting his fellow deputies on a call for service, an individual fleeing from deputies struck his vehicle, taking his life.

Master Corporal Brian LaVigne was a member of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Fraternal Order of Police since 2003.

January 2021 Social Gathering

As you well know, I had all intentions of everything being back to normal for the January 2021 General Membership Meeting.

Well, that is not going to happen and is beyond my control. With the most recent spikes in Covid-19 in the Tampa Bay area, I can not in good faith allow a General Membership Meeting to be held.

The next meeting is scheduled for January 12th. I am going to open the lodge for a “social dinner,” not a meeting for January 12th. Attendance is optional and will not count against a member for not attending. No lodge business will be discussed.

The food servers and anyone kitchen related will be required to wear a mask and gloves. Any member wishing to bring and wear a mask is acceptable. State and County Covid-19 safety orders will be enforced along with social distancing.

Dinner will still consist of steak, chicken,hamburgers and hot dogs. just cut way down since it will be impossible to estimate how many members would actually come out. As of right now, the bar will be open and whatever safety orders that are required as of January 12th will be followed.

The Covid-19 rules will be posted and I expect everyone to follow the rules.

If you can please RSVP with Rebecca at 813-927-2355

Thanks
