Inspection Schedule

As stated in our by-laws, each member is subject to an inspection of the assets that are available for request by the mutual aid members. A year or so ago the board enlisted the help of a long time member, Clyde Dennis. Clyde was appointed, as we like to refer to, the "Inspector General" of the membership assets committee. Clyde's duties are to review the membership information and review and inspect the equipment that is available for request. Clyde also serves as an ambassador to the Southwest Louisiana Mutual Aid Organization.

Clyde makes his list by location and attempts to inspect as many as he can in one location to best utilize his time.

Clyde will contact you in advance and set a time for inspection.

Meeting Schedule

The Association's monthly meetings are held every second Wednesday of the month at 11:00 a.m., typically in the Managan Center located at at the corner of Mckinley and Sampson in Westlake. Meetings are open to members and guest of members only.
