June 2022 Chapter Updates

Greetings NCFO Members!

I hope this finds everyone doing well. A planning/board meeting was held on May 23rd, with 10 NCFO members in attendance. 

Some ideas were shared about the season, including around  the structure of our meetings. We may see more break out sessions by position this year. Interpreter Mike Terlesky Jr. is sporting a new computer for the 2022 Season and should have plays to look at as we roll into the season.  Thank you in advance to Mike for his time and effort in coordinating the education and training of all chapter members. 

A reminder to everyone that our website contains excellent information.  There are some great pictures on the site from our end of the year banquet in November.
