Hello Again,
After a nearly three year haitus, I finally found my way back to you with a new, and hopefully improved method of delivery - a video blog called MDFR Retirement Recon. I intend to produce one video every couple of months to provide useful information to help you with your retirement planning.
The topic this month is Health Insurance Subsidies.
Feel free to suggest topics you would like to know more about. My contact information will be provided at the end of each video.
Here's the link - https://youtu.be/kcdOm1rzhM8
Enjoy, and be safe out there.
Chief Gary Gonzalez, retired, Batt 3 A.

Local 1403 is working towards helping our members both active and retired before and after Hurricane Dorian. We have members all throughout the cone of uncertainty. We ask that those of you able and willing to help in any way possible either before the storm or after please email me at gabe.nemeth@local1403.org so we can start putting a list together. We already, together with the Benevolent, are getting request for help putting shutters up for some of our retirees. We would like to have teams of volunteers in place also for after the storm to help those affected. We hope none of this is not needed but we need to prepare.

In a moment's notice within the blink of an eye Stephanie Roper unexpectedly passed away. Stephanie Roper is the wife of our MDFR brother Jeffery Roper who works on R 78 C Shift. I was fortunate enough to have met Stephanie, and let me just say she was a very special person, a great mother, and a dedicated and caring wife.

Brotherhood as defined by Merriam-Webster; feelings of friendship, support, and understanding between people: a group or organization of people who have the same interests, jobs, etc. In the fire service, we know it means so much more. Brotherhood means that we are there for one another. It means we have each other’s backs.
