FESTIVITIES PENDING

Trooper David Handschumacher, Academy, on July 7th.

A summary of major expenses for 2024 has been prepared by OSHPRA Treasurer Brenda Collins. Our largest recurring expenses were the Sunbird Reunion (which was combined with the annual luncheon), followed by the Snowbird Reunion and the subscription for the One Call Now notification system. In the “Other Cost" column a onetime donation of $5,000 to the Cleveland Police Vintage Car Museum was voted on and approved by those members attending the Sunbird-Annual Meeting in September. Thank you for supporting the Ohio State Highway Patrol Retirees Association.

Thanks to everyone who attended the 2025 Snowbird Reunion! The weather was wonderful and the food provided by our host hotel, the Marriott at Lake Mary, was exceptional. We are looking forward to coming back, March 5-7 2026.

Watch for the details of our future gatherings:

The Sunbird Reunion at the All Occasions Banquet Facility in Waldo on August 9th

The Retirees Association 50th Anniversary Celebration at the Aladdin Shrine Center in Grove City on November 8th.
