of the Order 1) CWO Reynolds’ Silver Lifetime Award certificate was presented. 2) It’s time once again for CPOA officer elections. E-mail nominations for officers to MCPO Berry. SKC Matrianni was nominated for Treasurer HSC Wong was nominated for Secretary 3) CWO DeCastro suggested we look into a Putt-Putt course outside the CPOA lounge. After a lengthy discussion on the subject, it was decided that MCPO Berry will check with legal, FE, and the CO to find out if there are any show-stoppers. 4) Moving money from the current mutual fund to a vehicle with a guaranteed return. No decision was made since MCPO Bechtler was unavailable for the discussion and has put a lot of time and effort into management of the current fund. 5) A quarterly cash raffle was also suggested and discussed with no decision made at the time.
Following a moment of silence for those Chiefs not present, meeting adjourned by unanimous vote at 1555.
