Dear Fellow Alumni,

Happy New Year! I am proud to report that your FBICAAA is strong and growing. We did many good things last year. To name a few, we made our trip to Quantico and FBI Headquarters, we participated in Community Awareness Day and National Night Out, we were able to help two of our Alumni after the tornado, we had a FATS Day at the FBI Building, we had a holiday party where we honored Paul Daymond, and we established our After Dark series in Huntsville and Birmingham. We also achieved the highest level of paid membership since our incorporation. So 2011 was a good year. Thanks to all.

2012 offers us the opportunity to do so much more and we will seize that opportunity.  Our first order of business was to elect officers for 2012. Several people stepped up and answered the call for office and I am very proud to announce we have elected a great slate of officers.  At the Board Meeting we also announced committee assignments.  I am excited to have these officers and committee chairs to help lead our FBICAAA for 2012.

It was my honor to be in a leadership position in 2011. I am even more excited about returning as your president for 2012. I am pleased to announce that the folks elected to the Board from Huntsville are no longer ex-officio.  You elected a strong group to serve you on the Board and now the Board has elected a group of officers that are going to lead us and do many exciting things in 2012.   I am excited that in a short time we will have a class starting in Huntsville and it will not be long till Birmingham kicks in again.

Many ask, “Why should we pay dues?”  The answer is simple:  you get special invitations to events and the right to participate in those events that the general membership doesn’t get. Only dues paying members can go on the Alumni Field Trip to FBI Headquarters and Quantico in March. Only dues paying members can go to Range Day or FATS Day. So pay your dues and don’t miss out on any opportunity that is offered. You can pay by credit card, PayPal or check. Just visit the website for instructions.

Let me again point you to the website to see your slate of new officers, committee chairs and the calendar that offers opportunities for you to participate.

As always, I want to take a moment and remind you to adopt our Mission Statement. We all want and strive to make our Nation safer together.

Sincerely and Thank you,

Don Lupo
President
