PROGRAM,
US MARSHAL ALFREDO PEREZ, SOUTHERN DISTRICT. Spoke to us about his job. He told us the things he can do and the things that he can not do. He explained the US Marshal’s was the first law enforcement organization in the country. There was one office in each of the 13 colonies. Now there are 92 Districts and over 300 Marshals Nation wide. Their main job is to protect the families in the Court system, either before or after the Court date. The Marshals’ office also handles the witness protection program. One of the latest jobs was the rescue effort during IKE.
The Marshals’ offices tracks down the bad men all over the Country. A Marshal does not work more cases than he can handle at one time. For Officer Perez, his load is no more than 2 at a time. A lot of the time one officer does not know which case the other is working on. The balance of the program was devoted to questions and answers. The Program was a Fine program. We all enjoyed Officer Perez.

2. CONVENTION 2011= DAVID MILLER = First of all the number of pre-registers for 2011convention was 54 very good. The first meeting scheduled on the convention is September 11, 2010 after the regular meeting at the Montgomery County Sheriff CPA.
David reported we were going to need $65K to $70K to host the convention. We all need to start working together now to make this happen. David touched on things like meals, Bags for each person, stuffers for each bag. Lunches and Banquet meal. We need to make the decision on a menu and cost, so we can work to a good end. The idea was put out if we wanted to have a BBQ at the banquet and dress in shorts and western clothes? Be sure and come to each planning meeting to get your ideas included. We need to get speakers for each class and for the banquet. We need to decide the food for the banquet by the end of the meeting in September
