Charitable Society Nominations
The Charitable Society for Children is now taking nominations for the three charities that will be supported by the MAC in 2011. Any money raised throughout the year will be split among the three charities. The deadline for nominations is Sunday, Oct. 31. For a charity to be considered it must be: a local charity, non-denominational, family oriented with an emphasis on service to children and for human welfare. Nominations can be emailed to CSC Chairman Sam Hopmeier at hopmeier@aol.com. Along with the charity name, please provide a one-page fact sheet with information about the charity. Also, please make sure the charity is listed with St. Louis Better Business Bureau in their Charity Review section. On Nov. 11, the charities will be presented to the selection committee at a meeting at MAC West. A member or employee must be present at the meeting for a five-minute presentation on the charity. The final recommendations of charities selected will be given to the Board of Governors for approval. If you have a charity that you work closely with, nominate it today and help the MAC give back to the community.

"A policeman's lot is not a happy one.” Perhaps our speaker, Hazelwood Chief of Police Carl Wolf, will let us know if that is true. Without doubt the job is a lot more complex than in the days of Gilbert and Sullivan, as a look at some of Chief Wolf’s professional activities reveals: Commissioner of the Greater St. Louis Regional Justice Information System, Chairman of the North County Drug Task Force, Chairman of the Regional Computer Crimes Education Task Force, Chairman of the North County Municipal Police Chiefs Violent Crime Task Force, Chairman of the Missouri Police Chiefs Legislative Committee, Director of the Greater St. Louis Area Major Case Squad. This is certain to be a fascinating talk!
