Dues are now due. Dues are $10.00 per agency. |
| We had discussion
for another Spring Event. Last year we had the event at the Holiday Inn
in Wilkes-Barre and it was a lunch. This year we feel that a breakfast
may be better attended. If anyone is interested in being on the
committee for the Spring Event there will be a meeting on Tuesday,
February 10th at 9:00am at the Salvation Army in
Wilkes-Barre. |
