REMINDER: Sunday, October 11th is this year’s last NFLA general membership meeting. We will, as we have for the past 16 years, be collecting non-perishable food items for distribution to the local food banks. This year, donations will go to the Veteran’s Food Pantry. If you can’t make the meeting, you can give items to someone who plans to attend.
