Hello Everyone! I can't make the OPD940, but I still want to connect and give everyone my best thoughts...

Thursday Night Warm-up

Terry Green'w idea to have an S.O.S. reunion dinner on Thursday night has grown into a pre-welcome dinner that includes anyone arriving early to the main 2008 OPD940 events. Besides Terry Green's old S.O.S. unit, there will be attendees from Special Duty, 500-cars, Helicopters, and anyone else interested in hearing and sharing.  The Poolside Terrace Room at John Ascuaga's Nugget, where the 2005 OPD940 Receiption night was held, will be the venue and filled with ten-seat round tables for a dinner offering three food choices.  There won't be formalities of podium speakers or audio-visuals, but there will be roving microphones passed around for simply sharing stories.   You are invited to join this blog by posting your thoughts and comments.

Survivors Blog

Verna Kelsey and Barbara Sundahl are planning a get together to be more formally announced later.  It is the intent to have a venue during the OPD940 for those who have lost OPD loved ones to simply enjoy sharing a few precious moments of reminiscence.   You are invited to join this blog by posting your thoughts and comments.

Technicians Reunion Blog

Mike Oliveira is spearheading an effort to gather OPD Technicians at a small function under the general umbrella of the OPD940.  It will probably be a cocktail party, depending on interest.  You are invited to join this blog by posting your thoughts and comments.

Other mini reunions at OPD940

There have been hints that others may wish to get together during the OPD timeframe to share intimacies and renewed companionship.  Traffic Division, Homicide and corollary investigators, OBOA, OLOA, OAOA, Vice Control, and others have loosely discussed such a possibility.  THe OPD940 can help to provide a venue to make it happen.  You are invited to join this blog by posting your thoughts and comments.
