President Beetle with our newest member, Emily Keene.

The meeting was called to order by Beetle Bailey. John Hanson introduced our guest. Eddie Robinson introduced and inducted our club’s newest member, Emily Keene.

Joel Price introduced our speaker, Jack Galvin, who is in charge of the U. S. Postal Inspectors for South Carolina. Jack was quiet entertaining in his presentation of what Postal Inspectors do on a daily basis. The Postal Inspection Service is the oldest law enforcement agency in the United States. The agency was started by Benjamin Franklin. The agency currently employs 2,000 agents nation wide. The main focus of this agency is protecting the mail. Jack explained that since the anthrax incident the U. S. post Office has employed equipment that test the mail going through the system for any type of substance and have conducted over 50 million test to date with zero positive readings. Postal Inspectors do everything from looking into people destroying mailboxes to individuals using the mail system to distribute drugs. Jack, ask to return to our club based on having us as a way of alerting the general population of fraudulent activities that are usually done through the postal service.
