I figured wecould start our own thread that no one else would want to read! There are enough of us I think, to start one.
There is a website called www.policewives.org that isn't remendously helpful for our purposes, but they have cool merchandise etc. Might be fun to check it out.
Anyone have anything to contribute? I figure we do our research first, see what's out there in the way of NYPD support, and go from there. Maybe a website is the best way to get started, maybe holding a meeting somewhere if we get enough interest, spreading by word of mouth....I would say our objectives would be support for each other, and most importantly, the Department. We could hold fundraisters, organize book and toy drives etc...

Re: Police Wives
I like your idea Rachel. I would like to be involved in an organization like that. I was supposed to go Monday but my finace has RDO Court so all our plans were ruined for a change.
Monday is our 3 year anniversary too Anyway, keep me posted on everything and let me know how I can get involved.

Re: Police Wives
My DH is not a police officer, but my uncle was.
I commend you ladies, and your brave husbands. You deserve much more credit than you are given!
Here's a website that my aunt used to frequent...maybe it can help you coordinate your efforts here in NY.
Enjoy the parade. I have gone in plenty of years and it is always a good time! My husband went in to march and I decided to sit this year out. Anyone who is going...ENJOY!!!!!!

Re: Police Wives
How was the parade? Did you find out any information? I was talking to Mark last night about our ideas for our group. He was not opposed to it, but did think that we should stay low key. Also, he told me one of the things Bloomberg was looking to cut off his budget were the benefits for the widows and orphans (***) !!!! Can you believe that. I was so mad when I heard that. We have to get this guy out as soon as possible, He can not be re-elected!!!!

Re: Police Wives
I probably could, but I do have to say that evenings are pretty tough for me lately. I usually fall asleep by 7:00! Hopefully I'll be more alert after my first trimester.

Re: Police Wives

Miss Linda - other police wives are MORE than welcome! YES!
And other takers?

Re: Police Wives
I would be good for Nassau. I am not at all familiar with the city, and Mark is not big on me going to the city, especially w/o him.

Re: Police Wives
Hi ladies!
My FH is an NYPD sergeant, too!
We actually had to change our original wedding date because we realized it was the same day as the Puerto Rican Day Parade, and that's a mandatory work day. We would have lost a LOT of our guest list! So we made it a week earlier instead!
