Colleagues,

How quickly time flies! Our summer hiatus has come to an end and it is back to

We have our Fall schedule set up with some educational opportunities and some

great events.

Our September meeting is set up for Wednesday, September 16 at 11:30. We will

be meeting at Mercy Hospital for a tour of the facility and lunch. Thanks to Tom

Grondalski for making this happen for us! I will be sending out an invitation with

all the details within the next few days.

Just after that from September 28-October 1 is the 61st Annual ASIS Expo and Ex-

hibits to be held in Anaheim, CA. I know there will be a few members of our chap-

ter in attendance. The program is jam packed with all kinds of educational events

and some great key note speakers. It is an opportunity you can’t miss if you are able

to attend.

Our October meeting this year will be our Annual Law Enforcement Appreciation

field once again. We will be awarding scholarships to two WMass Criminal Justice

Majors in the amount of $1500.00 each. We will additionally be honoring two

members of Western Mass Law Enforcement for their service to the citizens of our

communities.

In November we will be hosting the new DHS Infrastructure Production Specialist

for Massachusetts, Tim Donnelly. He has presented already for some of our fellow

radicalized terrorists. Details for this meeting will be forthcoming in the next few

place and continue the fantastic work he has done thus far. Please let Maureen, David or John
