2026 Membership Dues ($25.00) are due; please pay them as soon as possible. We are experiencing technical difficulties with Square, so please use the PayPal link below to pay your dues while I contact customer support. If you would like to pay for lifetime dues ($250.00), reach out to me, and I can help with that. We are no longer using Membersplanet, so if you had autopay through them, it will no longer work. If you were charged for 2026 dues through Membersplanet, let me know so we can get it straightened out. I do not have a way of checking. They claim they will, but I am not relying on them.

2020 MRPES Membership Dues, $25.00 for the year.

Don't forget the meeting at Joe's Inn - Bon Air on Wednesday (4/30/25) starting at 7 pm. Get there early for dinner and to socialize.

Due to lack of staffing and the weather we are closing down our tent Saturday night and will not be at the Church Hill Irish Festival on Sunday.

The band has a prior commitment and only one non-board member signed up to work Sunday. Several of the board members have prior commitments or obligations that prohibit their ability to be there. It is unfair to stick just one or two people with staffing the tent all day and breaking it down.

Due to all of this we will not be at the festival on Sunday. If you have any questions or concerns please let us know.

02/24/2025

Don't forget the meeting on Wednesday at O'Toole's Midlothian. Check your email for the link to join virtually if you can't attend in person. We will be talking about the meeting format gong forward as well as the Church Hill Irish Festival.

Here is the Go Fund Me for the Virginia Beach Police officers killed this weekend. Go Fund Me takes a percentage and it, sometimes, is counted as income so I’d donate through Virginia Beach Police.

St. Michael, heaven's glorious Commissioner of Police, who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional eyes on your earthly force.

Give us cool heads, stout hearts, hard punches, and uncanny flair for
investigation and wise judgment.

Make us the terror of burglars, the friends of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores, strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations.

In troubles and riots give us sheer muscle without temper; at the police count, give us love for truth and evidence without any thought of self.

You know, St. Michael, from your own experiences with the devil that the policeman's lot on earth is not
always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the devil, and your angelic self- control give us inspiration. Make us as loyal to the law of God as we are particular about the law of the land.

And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of God as we have been to guard the city of all the people.

Amen
