Has the Holiday season ever been more anticipated or needed? The joy the holidays
bring is just the elixir for the unprecedented tough year we have experienced in 2009.
Many of our brothers/sisters never thought this type of bad times would befall us.
But now that we have started the new year, we can get down to business. Although we
had some tough times in “09” we had plenty to be thankful for. Our lodge stood strong as
we faced massive challenges, but we prevailed as the dust settled.

On 7Jan10, the Sheriff was pleased to announce and welcome, 36 recalled personnel
back to their positions.

Our 2009 Christmas with a Cop program was a great success this. We tried something
different, and I think we have found our new approach to the program.  We had 7 Families
& 19 kids that we invited, rather than just inviting kids. The families and officers had a
blast, and the families were very appreciative. I would like to thank all the members that
volunteered for this year's program. You must agree that it warms your hearts to see the
kids do what kids due best, shop! Please take a minute to look at the pictures that are on
our web page...thank you Patti. A special thanks to Patti Brown, Cpl Jay Schmitt
& Capt Rick Merschbach for all the time they donated to help make our program the best.

As we look towards this New Year, I wanted to thank you for your continued confidence
with me and our staff officers. You have helped make our lodge a major part of the FOP
year after year. In 2010 I will be with the HCSO for 27 years, and 13 years as your
President, and have enjoyed every minute of it. I must take the time to thank my Family,
for all the support they have given me over the years. We will unfortunately be losing
some very productive officers this year, but we’ll have some newly elected officers ready
to go into these positions. Patti & John have both contributed a bunch over the years, and
I wish them the best. I have been very blessed with some very diligent workers, who I am
very proud to call my friends.  

Please continue to make a contribution to our meetings. Your attendance and comments
are always welcome, and make a difference in our Lodge.

I will continue to commit to make our Lodge the best in the West!! I must also take the time
to thank our brother lodges, 74, 112 & 113 for all the support we have shown between the
lodges over the past years. I hope we will continue to make a better bridge between other
Lodges in the future.    

Fraternally,
Brother Stephen Watt,
President
