Kudos to the DCFBA for another incredible Campout at Fisheating Creek! Over 500 participated.
It was a blast!

As of this writing, only 215 days until the next
Dahlonega Retirement Reunion. Our hosts expect that next year’s reunion will be our largest
ever, so sign up early for the next one.

March 4, 2022 Retirees Party at The Fire Tower.
Congrats to our newest inductees.

NATIONWIDE UPDATE: I met with our union’s
top officers, trustees and the IAFF CFO this
month to discuss how Nationwide negotiates
with the county’s “Employees Deferred Compensation Plan Governing Committee.” I am disappointed with the IAFF’s lack of ability to help
our members on this front. President McAllister
has assured me that our next step will be to seek
a meeting with the mayor and the committee to
get a seat at their meetings with Nationwide. Our
members deserve to have at least an “ear” at
the table.
