The regular meeting of the LONG ISLAND EMERGENCY VEHICLE
TECHNICIANS was held on Thursday, March 29, 2012 at the Wantagh
Fire Department Main House. The food was excellent – thanks to
the generosity of Seth Tansey of Navistar International Corp. and
the service of the Wantagh Fire Dept. About 48 members were in
attendance.
The meeting was opened by the Vice- President, Tom Probst, who led the pledge to the flag. Kit read the minutes of the May 2011 meeting – Tom asked the members to make a motion to accept the minutes – a motion was made and seconded – the minutes were accepted.
The treasurer, Paul Sailon, read his report. To date, we have very few paid members this year – we had a total of 116 in 2008. The unpaid members were reminded to send their checks.
An election of officers was held. The new officers are:
- President: Bill D’Alessandro of the West Hempstead Fire Dept.
- Vice-President: Danny Peluso of the Centereach Fire Dept.
- Treasurer: Barbara Connelly of Fire News
Kit Cafaro will continue her secretarial duties.
Our webmaster, Nate Berry of Fire Research Corp does a great job at lievt.org. Our thanks to Nate and Fire Research.
The new officers appear to be very motivated and hope to bring enthusiasm to the organization. The members look forward to the future.
Tom introduced Seth Tansey of Navistar International Corp. He had an excellent power point on all aspects of installing their engines on fire apparatus. There was an interesting Q & A. Our members felt the information was very valuable.
