Thu Aug 31 22:23:05 UTC 2017

Greetings fellow chapter members, I hope this note finds each of you well.
I forwarded a message from our state list serve with the convention assistance request form in bedded in the body.
 Just in case anyone is not yet been added to the State list serve.
Look forward to chatting with everyone Saturday.

Jordy D. Stringer.
