Upcoming Meetings
The agenda for educational seminars has been tentatively set for the year 2010. We hope to see a high level of participation as we feel this is the bread and butter of taking care of our membership. We have new Locals as well as old Locals with new leadership. I think these classes will serve us all well. Course Desciptions for the mini-ed topics can be found on the IAFF web site.
