Charles Hogquist (PD)
RFPA President
I hope this message finds everyone
well. Summer in San Diego can be
never-ending, but the calendar says that
Summer is ending. As we move into Fall,
we have a few dates coming up that you
should make note of. On October 14,
our annual RFPA Luncheon takes place
at the Bali Hai restaurant. Watch your
email for more details. Remember:
you’ll need to make a reservation and
pay in advance for this luncheon. Also,
this is the event where you can bring a
guest but, again, you’ll need a reserva-
tion. The Police Chief and Fire Chief will
be in attendance to make presentations
on the status of their respective depart-
ments and answer a few questions. Also,
the Chief Executive Officer of SDCERS
will be on hand to give us an update on
the status of the Retirement Trust. He
may also drop a hint about the status
of the Annual Supplemental Benefit.
The 13th check, for you real Oldtimers.
Hope to see you all there.
