Dear
Colonel Stanley,
The Henrico Lodge
Charitable Foundation, which is the charitable arm of the
Henrico Lodge #4, Fraternal Order of Police, is conducting a fund
raising campaign through telephone solicitation. This fund
raising effort utilizes the professional solicitor, On Guard
Services, Inc., with a local office located at 7293 Hanover Green
Drive, Mechanicsville, Virginia, 23111.
The Henrico Lodge
Charitable Foundation, is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization,
classified as a 501 (c)3 entity by the I.R.S. All donations are tax
deductible.
We will be
publishing an Identity Theft and Elder Fraud Protection Resource Book.
The funds received from advertisements and contributions to this book
will support the community projects of the Foundation. The projects we
support include donations to the Crime Stoppers Program, the Strike
Out Substance Abuse Program (baseball/softball/basketball), the
Henrico 3 on 3 Challenge Basketball Program, the Richmond Area Safe
Kids Coalition, Easter Seals, and the Henrico TRIAD (a program for the
benefit of senior citizens). Additionally, we provide college
scholarships to our F.O.P member’s children/grandchildren. Near the
end of the year, we conduct our Annual “Cops Who Care” Christmas
Program.
Those contacted are
advised to make their checks payable to the Henrico Lodge
Charitable Foundation, and the solicitor can only make deposits to
the account (no withdrawals). The donations may be mailed in to the
listed office address or will be picked up by a courier employed by
the solicitor.
This information is
being provided so that if inquiries are made of Division personnel,
the legitimacy of the campaign can be verified. I ask that you share
this information with all employees, especially the Communications
Section and Receptionist.
Any

A Message from The President
Posted 8/23/07
Good
day to all,
I encourage you to
read the entire article below. Though we have been extremely
fortunate in Henrico in recent years we can never forget that
this type of violence is a reality; more so now than ever
before. Several active and retired Henrico officers, along with
thousands of police officers from across this great
country, were also on the floor of the National FOP conference
last week when the notification about Sgt. Harrison's death was
announced. It is always a chilling but humbling experience; it
could have been one of us. Lets remember that police officers
are not only first responders to crime but first preventors of
crime as well and sometimes the prevention of crime can cost us
our lives.
Greater
love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his
friends.
John 15:13

week can be found at

Thanks for taking
the time to read and reflect,
