Northwest Ohio FOOLS - Firehouse Forums

WTFD10 · 01-23-2004, 12:21 PM

Some brothers in this area are getting a Northwest Ohio Chapter of the Fraternal Order Of Leatherheads Society started.

If any of you from this area are interested, PM me and I'll get you the e-mail address of the brother who is organizing it.

From the International's website:

Quote:

The FOOLS, like the traditional leather helmet, has always existed through the brotherhood and tradition of the Fire Service, and will continue to grow and flourish as long as there are fires to fight and emergencies to respond to. All firefighters are welcome to be a part of this great organization, one does not have to own a leather helmet to be considered a "Leatherhead". The only qualification is that you are true to your profession and true to your Brother and Sister firefighters.

Moe,
If you guys need any help...let me know, I am a Trustee for our chapter. Email me at fantamfools@yahoo.com or check our site at www.skunkkillerfools.com . Us and the Northeast Ohio Chapter along with Miami Valley are working on a training weekend for summer.

Thanks Jeff

Training weekends are just one of the great things that I see FOOLS chapters around the country doing. I hope I can make it to yours.

No! I am going stag.....

WTFDChief730 · 01-24-2004, 11:22 AM

Yea...me too, I'm not taking a date, I was hoping to pick up some babes at Ike and Jonsey's bar again. Everytime I go to FDIC I get so friggin' S---faced and hungover the next day, I never remember what the hell I saw at the exhibits. Its great in Indy, great bars and plenty to do...and Oh yeah, FDIC ain't bad either

I don't have a date either, my wife frowns on me having girlfriends.

But the calendar dates for FDIC (Friday & Saturday) are April 30th & May 1st.

WTFDChief730 · 01-24-2004, 01:07 PM

Sounds like a plan...Most of the hotels close to the convention center are already booked. Moe does your wifes company have anything close to the convention center as far as hotels?
I'm in for Friday/Saturday....let me know whats up.

Weruj1 · 01-24-2004, 02:25 PM

firenresq77 · 01-24-2004, 04:58 PM

I had her check a couple months ago and all of their hotels in Indy were not accepting the employee discount rate for that weekend (can't imagine why!). I'll have her check around some more on Monday.

Captain Feckley and the Oompa Loompas will just have cover for us. (Sounds like a goofy rock group huh?)
