Dear Fellow Retired Sergeant,

I wish to extend greetings to all of our RSA members, colleagues, friends, and visitors.

I hope that all of you are having a safe and enjoyable summer. We at the RSA are looking forward to the coming of fall and a new legislative session. In June, we were sure that we had a very good chance of passing a Veterans Supplemental Bill. Unfortunately, at the last minute the speaker pulled the bill. We will continue to work for the passage of the Vets bill and several other bills benefiting our retired sergeants.

The coming months bring several events of interest to our membership: the RSA fall general membership meeting on October 3rd in Mineola, the SBA Holiday Party in December, and of course the annual RSA Florida general meeting in January 2019. I sincerely hope our members attend these functions.

Please look for our newsletter, The Chevron, this September. In addition to valuable information, it will contain raffle tickets for our annual Scholarship Enhancement raffle, which give participants an opportunity to win a substantial amount of cash, in addition to providing a generous scholarship award to three of our members’ children or grandchildren. Details will be in the September newsletter, which will be delivered to the homes of our dues paid members.

Please enjoy the rest of summer and the coming fall. Should any member have a question, need assistance, or have some concern or suggestion do not hesitate to contact me or any member of our executive board by phone, email, or via this website.

For those of you who may wish to join the RSA, you can do so by downloading an application or availing yourself of our PayPal option.

I hope you find this website interesting, informative and helpful. It is constantly being updated to keep our members fully informed.

I thank our members for allowing me the privilege of serving as your president.

Fraternally, Patsy A. Noto
RSA President
