Is everyone here a member of the F.O.O.L.S International? Is there any local chapters on the board? If not, then I think you may want to get involved. Check out the international site at www.FOOLSinternational.com.
Delaware Brother, how about a small bet on todays game between Delaware and Eastern Washington for the National Championship? EWU is in a small town 15 miles form Spokane where I work, they have a combination department. They have 9 paid guys, and a volunteer group. It should be a good game, let us say that whomever loses has to proclaim on this site the superiority of the the winners State and athletic prowes! Good luck, Greg
There are no chapters in the area and the local departments seem to be so anti-tradition and anti-brotherhood, I don't know if starting a chapter would be feasible. I tried to join as a member-at-large, but was told they were not accepting any further m-a-l's at this time.
