NFBU Red Rocks Chapter Meeting

May 4, 2021 at 1:00 PM

Hello Fellow Federation Members and Friends,

I'm happy to report that Everette Bacon, president of the NFBU, will be attending our meeting in person.  We look forward to hearing from him. We plan to provide lunch if the Chamber allows.

We are pleased to announce that we will have two methods for attending Tuesday’s chapter meeting. We strongly encourage all who can come in person to do so. We are having the meeting in a much larger room at the Chamber of Commerce, located at 136 N 100 E, St. George, UT. This is the building just before RRCI on the South side. There is a door on the side of the building and parking in the back. Please arrive at least 20 minutes early in case you need help finding this space. Social distancing will be simplified because of the size of the room. Please join us if you can!

We will also have a virtual component via ZOOM.
