In lieu of sending flowers, we ask our members wanting to make donations send their donation to the TSBA or directly to the PBA. For those choosing to send their donation to the TSBA, we will in turn present the PBA one check on behalf of the Traffic Squad membership. Your donation can help toward the educational expenses of Officer Figoski's daughters. Please indicate on the check memo: PO Figoski.

We pray for Officer Figoski's family to have the spiritual strength in this difficult time. We thank the family for sharing Officer Peter Figoski with us and his service to the City of New York.

Fraternally,
John Valles, TSBA President

Dear Members, Supporters, and Friends,

I want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Kwanzaa, as well as a safe, healthy, and blessed New Year!

Our 1st quarterly meeting will be held on January 10, 2012, at 6 PM. The meeting location will be the NYC Police Museum, 100 Old Slip, in lower Manhattan.

Be advise that the Police Museum staff have advised me that repairs on the elevator have not been completed, therefore please be prepared for the challenge of a two flight walk.

It will be the start of the New Year very soon, so I would like to remind those members, if you have not done so, 2012 dues are due. You can renew your membership at the meeting, or send your membership application (links are in the welcome message on the home page) with your check via US Postal Service. We also remind you that recruiting members is a responsibility of us all, so we can have a larger and stronger membership. In addition, in bringing us new members, you bring us a new friend, colleague and someone with whom to share our stories and play catch up. You also bring us someone to reach out to should we need expert advice in the field in which they specialize. Remember, our membership is diverse in occupations.

A very special Thank You to Al Gardiner, who through out the years has donated his time and effort in maintaining our Web site, as well as posting updates of events and happenings in such timely manner. Thank You Al.......

Giving thanks is not a once a year event. Therefore, I take this opportunity to say; Thank You to all of our members for their continued membership in this organization. I extend my gratitude to our supporters that keep this organization afloat with their donations and support.

Thank you all again!

Best Wishes, from all of us at the Traffic Squad Benevolent Association,

John Valles,
TSBA President
