Yakima Footprinters Chapter 38 I. F. A.

ABOUT US

The Yakima Chapter of the International Footprint Association was chartered on July 8, 1961 with 25 members and was named the 38th chapter in the organization. Nine years later Yakima hosted the
National Convention of the Grand Chapter. Robert Madden, who was Chief of Police at that time was installed as the Grand President of The International Footprint Association. We have been an active chapter for 38 years.

During those 38 years our chapter has served the community in several ways. We have contributed to Search and Rescue, helped provide bullet proof vests for Police Reserve Officers, CB radios for both the Police and Sheriff's patrol cars. One of our community service programs is a program we started many years ago. It takes place on Christmas morning, when members of our chapter dress up as Santa Clauses and are transported in patrol cars by local Law Enforcement Departments,
to the homes of families whose main bread winner is incarcerated in the city or county jail. They bring toys for the kids and food baskets to those families that are in need. Over the years this program has helped to give Law Enforcement an image of helping instead of hurting those families.

To support our contributions to the community, we have a fund raising program called "Radio Days". Our members go out in the community and sell ad time on one of the local radio stations. Then on a Saturday and Sunday other members act as announcers and present these commercials on the air.

Yakima Chapter 38 meets on the first Wednesday of the month. The Executive board meets on the last Wednesday. Our meetings are dinner meetings. We also host a Bar-B-Que and Picnic each summer for our members and their families.

We feel we have an Organization, that you would be proud to be a member of, and would enjoy the fellowship we have with our local Law Enforcement
Agencies and the Business Community. For more information go to our website at http://www.footprinter.org
