PERA

You need to understand your benefits and make sure your reported

This is one of the strongest points made at the chiefs meeting this year,

"if you serve you deserve".

I have included the PERA Flyer, please read it.

THIS IS IMPETRATIVE DO NOT MISS OUT.

If you do not have the service credit you should, you must during this year take advantage of the open credit allowance or you will miss out in 2011.  Only the individual Firefighter can do this, not your chief and not the Administration.  Of course we will help you.
