MAFCA CHAPTER SERVICE AWARDS
I wanted to share this great story and picture from our friends in the Diablo A’s. MAFCA Service Awards are a great way to say thank you for that special member who goes above and beyond the call of duty in contributing to your local Chapter. It is easy to remember the negative in this world but everyday people like this make a difference and a simple thank you goes a long way. Congratulations to Dick and all the Diablo A’s
Nominations are closed for 2024 but that means they are open for 2025 and it’s never been easier to nominate someone with the addition of our new online form.
