Just a note to all members in region 1- Thanks to President Flournoy for my recent appointment as the new region 1 rep to the VFPA Board. I will list all of my contact information for you at the end of this message. President "Flo" has asked for any members interested in working with any of the committees of the accsociation, please forward your request to him. Information on committees can be found on our website. Also, this years dues notices have gone out to the membership. PLEASE make arrangements to get your dues in. The association utilizes those funds in many ways to support YOUR organization and it is a great investment on your part. Please feel free to contact me any time with questions or comments and I hope to schedule a region 1 meeting sometime in the near future.
