On behalf of the South Florida Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors, with sad hearts, we need to inform you that the Annual Holiday Party will have to be cancelled this year due to circumstances surrounding the COVID 19 virus. Unfortunately, this has kept us all apart, but we hope the New Year will bring us tighter together. Some upcoming events: National Blue Blood Drive- January 7th, 2021 sponsored by our chapter, see flyer below for locations. Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (LEAD) January 9th, 2021 Plan to “Thank” a law enforcement officer this day. Share any pictures with our Facebook page South Florida Concerns of Police Survivors @ https://www.facebook.com/SoFloCopsSouth |

For those survivors that live in Southwest Florida (the west coast side of our COPS chapter-Charlotte, Lee, Collier, Hendry and Glades counties), and you would like to hook up to just visit with each other, send your contact info in a message letting me know. Thought it would be nice to see some faces on this side since I (the admin of this site and secretary) have now moved here. Our chapter is so large with 11 counties, its not so easy to be in the know of how we all are doing in between meetings. Nothing official or COPS like, just a get together for some lunch or coffee or whatever. No one is obligated. Take care and have a great day!! |
