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 questions or complaints can be referred to the Office Manager, Jeremy Senkus at 559-2212.

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.

Put it on your calendar now and make plans to attend the next National Police Memorial Day scheduled for Thursday, May 15, 2008. The Henrico Fraternal Order of Police will again provide transportation by chartered bus to this event. Additional details about police week can be found at http://www.nleomf.com/calendar/

Thanks for taking the time to read and reflect,
