FYI: We are constantly monitoring and removing postings by individuals who are attempting to sell bogus T-shirts that are not associated with or authorized by IAFF Local 42 or the Greater Kansas City Fire Fighters Alumni Association.

Please do not fall for these scam artists.

We are working with E2 Embroidery & Screen Printing - Union Contract Printers to design something that we can market for our members in the near future. We will update you when these are available.

Fraternally,
