So, if you guys wanna talk about putting your money were your mouth is, here is an even better opportunity. The TFA has introduced a lot of very good legislation for this year. Check out the State Legislation board for some updates on this forum. We have plans and are in need for a Nashville area chapter as well. I hope you guys can attend this meeting. It will be the first for this part of TN.

If you are in the Memphis area, then contact me for information on the Memphis chapter meeting coming up.

Thanks,
Mitch

Meeting's tonight and there will be people there from TFA.

Ah, crap. I didn't see this until you bumped it. I've already got something planned for tonight or I'd head up.

 

[MitchSchaft]

Yeah, I wish Oleg would've posted this as a sticky.

 

[MitchSchaft]

Just keep in mind that this will probably be a monthly deal.

 

[buzz_knox]

I should be able to make it next month. And if we get a Knoxville chapter opened up, I can help with that too.
