NYPD Guardians Association Monthly E-Newsletter
January 2016
President’s Message
Greetings brothers and sisters. The new year brings new ideas, new
optimism, new challenges and new solutions. This year’s theme is
“Teamwork makes the dream work”. The executive board has set an
ambitious agenda that will require input and participation from our
membership. The 2016 agenda includes:
Increasing our presence within the civilian ranks
Mentoring
Community Outreach
Redeveloping our website & expanding social media content
We will also be hosting our annual Scholarship Dinner Dance on March
4th at Antun’s and sailing away for a 4 day Carnival Cruise to the
Bahamas on August 1st. I am asking for the support of our membership
in making these events a success.
The Guardians Association is your organization. If you have ideas to
help further our goals we ask that you share. We also ask that you roll up your sleeves and get involved. It is not enough
to talk about it, we need your active participation. In the words of Henry Ford:
“Coming together is a beginning; Keeping together is progress; Working together is success.”
Lets work together to make 2016 a successful year for our organization.
Fraternally Yours,
Yuseff Hamm
