FOP Jim Fogleman Lodge 50 successfully hosted its annual HR-218 qualification and member barbecue on Saturday, January 10th, bringing together active and retired members for a productive and enjoyable day.

The event once again saw a strong turnout, continuing a steady increase in participation each year since the Lodge began offering this annual qualification several years ago. Members were able to complete their HR-218 requirements while also enjoying good food and the opportunity to connect with fellow Lodge members in a relaxed, collegial setting.

FOP Lodge 50 extends its sincere thanks to Ron Council and Jay Spencer of the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department for serving as instructors and ensuring the qualification was conducted safely, professionally, and efficiently.

We also wish to offer a special thank you to Past President Dave Moore and his wife, Kathy, whose time, effort, and dedication in handling the food preparation helped make the day enjoyable for everyone in attendance.

Events like this reflect the Lodge’s continued commitment to supporting its members through training opportunities, compliance assistance, and fellowship. We appreciate everyone who attended and helped make this year’s event another success.
