| Treasurer Farewell - Sunday, May 04, 2008Due to behind the scenes comments and activities, I have chosen to resign. I do not deserve to be treated the way that I have by certain members and it has taken a toll on my personal well being. Below is my official letter of resignation, but I would like to personally thank the members that have always supported me with their friendship in my personal and FOP life. Approximately two years ago, I made a personal decision to bring the Lodge financials to the membership and this decision has caused nothing but turmoil. I can't help but second guess my decision to keep the members in the loop regarding financials.
I hope that the next Treasurer can handle a great amount of duties with ease and accuracy. I will be at the next meeting to make the resignation official, but I will remain active with the Lodge on the membership level. Thank you again for all of your support.
Official Resignation:
Please accept this as my official note of resignation. I will be at the next meeting to make it official. However, my reason for resigning comes as no surprise. I have worked endlessly to keep the books in line, sometimes until 2 in the morning to make sure the Lodge has all of the pertinent financial information at the Lodge meetings. The Lodge has never been in this type of disagreement amongst the EBoard as it has over the last year and I have been treasurer for 5+ years. I thought bringing the financial information to light two years ago at my own free will was the right thing to do, but as it turns out, it has created nothing but turmoil.
I refuse to represent an organization where the leaders cannot work together and quite frankly are an embarrassment to the membership. I feel that President Cox is one of the best Presidents that the Lodge has had in years. He is the first President that does not take any foolishness from people and when certain people don't get their way, they create mayhem for the rest of the Lodge. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as Treasurer for CCFOP 12 with the exception of the last year.
I hereby relinquish the duties of keeping the Lodge books electronically, keeping the Bingo books, coordinating the Website, and handling the electronic membership and legal defense portion of our membership.
I only hope that the Lodge can benefit from this resignation as I know my personal well being will be more rewarding. I apologize for the inconvenience of the timing, but I am not willing to put up with the foolishness of particular members. Best of luck to you all.
Respectfully,
Jamie L Bessett
Former CCFOP 12 Treasurer

In Need of Lodge Support for Bingo Hall Success

Blueline Bingo was created by Coastal Carolina Lodge 12 Fraternal Order of Police to support the active and retired police officers along with causes that the Lodge deems important in the advancement of all levels of law enforcement and the communities surrounding our members. Lodge 12 has close to 500 members and there is rarely a single member that comes out to support the Bingo Hall on a nightly, weekly, or monthly basis. Can you imagine the potential if each member brought a family member and told a neighbor about Blueline Bingo? We could take the nearly 500 person membership and multiply it by 3 and have a potential of 1,500 additional people that could frequent the Bingo Hall if only once a month. Each meeting is plagued by money concerns, but we can't seem to support our own business to reflect what we are ultimately attempting to change within our future and the future of the next generation. Please consider coming out and participating in our business endeavor for the betterment of our Lodge and the Law Enforcment Community. We can work together to make a difference.---Sister Bessett
