Dear NFU Member,

We invite you to join us for an informative evening of speakers, updates and democratic process at the Region 7 Convention.   Given the continuing health situation across the region, the Regional Convention will again be on-line via Zoom.  We have included in this mailing detailed instructions on how to connect remotely through both internet and telephone so those members without internet coverage can still participate fully.

We hope you will join us online and invite friends to come and hear the presentations and get updates from regional and national leadership. A social hosted by Toby Malloy follows.
