Newsletter:

Please sign up both current
and Retired Members so that
you don't miss important
announcements such as retirements,
funerals, current events, etc.
Too many times Brothers and
Sisters miss out on these events
due to a Kelly Day, vacation day,
etc. By joining the list, I will be
able to send out a notification to
each member who signs up to keep
you all better informed as to what
is going on. To help in that, if you
have information about a funeral
notification or event, please e-mail
Jeff Boetto at:
FyrEater21@aol.com to let me
know the information
so it can be passed along.

In Loving Memory:

Welcome!

Brother's and Sister's,

Sadly in November of 2011, Bob Schwarz went on to join those watching us from above. The ERFFA has continued leadership, however, from Members Bob Nelson and Ronn Gannon have taken over the group. Updates will be coming from them as they are announced. If you all have any photo's, letters, updates, and news, please e-mail me so I can update this section.

Fraternally,
Jeffrey M. Boetto

To All E.R.F.F.A. Members:

On November 30, 2011 we lost our good friend and president Bob Schwarz. We all know how much Bob loved the Evanston Fire Department and E.R.F.F.A. He (Margaret) was the one that kept E.R.F.F.A. going over the years. We all will remember Bobs love of a good joke and some that were not so good. He had a real love for life and family. Please keep Bob and his family in your prayers.

At the winter luncheon in December Ronn Gannon and I volunteered to take over E.R.F.F.A. I will be President and Ronn will be the Secretary. We both look forward to the challenge and will do are best for E.R. F.F.A. If you have any suggestions or information, jokes, etc. please sent them to me.

If you go on Local 742 web site at w.w.w.efdlocal742.com, on the left side go to Local 742, drop down to Retiree’s and E.R.F.F.A. Information will be on there.

Looking forward to the spring luncheon.
