We held our February luncheon meeting at Maggiano's-Little Italy.  Our speaker was Chief Plummer from the Kirkwood Police Department.  The Chief enlightened the group on the City Council shooting that occurred four years earlier – and shared some shocking details that were mostly unknown.  He also provided some lessons that were learned from the incident so this type of situation would never reoccur. 

Steve Wilk announced the 3^rd annual trivia night scheduled for March 31, 2012, registration forms are on the website.  This should be an exciting and fun event!  Joe Eagan will be our emcee once again – this is a great treat!

We are currently at just over 400 local members – this is fantastic, and it seems we continue to grow as a Chapter.  And from a Chapter perspective it is my pleasure to notify the membership that we have been awarded an honorable mention from ASIS International for our website.  Congrats to all on that, and especially Pat Hill for being our webmaster.

Our next event is on Thursday, March 8, 2012.  This will be our first networking/social event held in the evening.  The event begins at 5.00 pm and runs through 7.00 pm.  We will have a short business meeting, and speaker presentation along with heavy appetizers and drinks (alcohol included).

Our speakers will be from St. Louis City PD and Special Olympics and they will be talking about the partnership between law enforcement/security and Special Olympics.   We look forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting – it should be a great networking time!
