The MFA decided to have only virtual monthly meetings. These will be supplemented by several “Field Trip” events during the year. Normally, these will be on a Saturday morning to make physical visits to see departments’ apparatus and stations as well as have lunch together. Therefore, the monthly meetings of the MFA will be conducted “virtually”.

The access code and directions will soon be provided via a separate e-mail. We encourage you to load the link and try it. If your computer has a camera when you open the link, you should see yourself. Play with it as you are not connected to anything. Doing this will get you used to the system. Once you do this you will be all set to attend.

Our next virtual meeting will be on TUESDAY, 25 June 2024, beginning at 19:30 (Eastern time). Please let us know if you need assistance in using this meeting method. It is not hard, and we can walk you through the steps, BUT ahead of meeting night!!

We are honored to have Rick Short, President of the Box 55 Fire Buffing organization in Nashville, Tennessee as our guest speaker for our JUNE meeting. The Box 55 club is the MFAs nearest organized fire buffing group and many MFA members know folks in Box 55. They are also our sister club in Region 11 of the International Fire Buff Associates.

Be sure to put 25 June 2024 on your calendar now.
