Minutes of the December 2023 Meeting

This month's meeting was held at the Bethpage Fire Headquarters on Wednesday December 6th. The meeting was called to order by President Manetta with a pledge to the flag followed by a moment of silence at 19:50 hours with 30 members present.

Dinner was provided by the Bethpage Fire District and all enjoyed a delicious meal.

We discussed sending a member to FDIC, Spartan, or the FDSOA Apparatus Symposium or instead spending that money to have an Instructor come to us for an EVT Class. More discussion will follow.

At this time Vice President Tarren Kearns stepped down from his position on the Executive Board. After a tight race it was decided that Brendan DeGraff of Wantagh will fill this vacancy. The association wishes Brendan good luck in his new endeavor!
