Come for a great lunch and socialize! We will be presenting the 2012 Chinook Awards!!

Message from the President:

I would like to send out a personal invitation to all of our YAF Members to attend the April ADDY Awards Luncheon. As you are most likely aware the YAF has been struggling with some real challenges. I would like to urge our members who enjoy the benefits and fellowship of our club to come and have your voices heard.

The YAF was established in 1978 and has a long standing and strong history. With the help of our District leaders and Past Presidents our club can once again be a vibrant and fun organization.

Please check your schedules for Tuesday, April 17th and mark your calendars. We will visit the possibilities and discuss the future of the YAF. See you there!

Sincerely,

Alice Sharp
YAF President
