"Coalition Members"



To all "coalition members". On this date, Dom Varrichio and I along with retired PAPD lieutenant Kevin Hassett, who is the treasurer for the Retired Police Association of New York, did meet with the PARA board at the PABT Times Square meeting hall. It seems we have a lot in common with PARA and RPA. Kevin did address the board and I was amazed at his vast knowledge and ability in the area of retiree benefits. We will all work together in the future for what ever may be in store for all of us regarding any change in health benefits (in the event that there are any future changes at all). We will keep you posted. It's in good hands.

"NYNJ PARDA Members"


Member Fred Kuebler who has a Federal Firearms dealers license, has advised us of the following: " Any member of the organization can purchase firearms thorough me for 10% above dealer cost. If they live in NY, they can pickup here, if they live in any other State, they must use a local dealer to receive whatever they buy from me. I can also do the New Jersey Firearms Certification for retired Police". This message will also be on the NYNJ PARDA bulletin board on our web pages.
