ANGFA National.... Now tat is an interesting term. Are the members of ANGFA
not the group that makes up ANGFA National? To my understanding the bulk of
the members that do not belong to a regional group are overseas. Dont take
this the wrong way BUT I see ANGFA National as all of us and not the
members of the board. Therefore if we want it in a place that does not have
a regional group or the personnel to make it so then it is up to all of us
to work together to put the thing together. I dont think it would be bad
thing for all the regional groups to work together to have a convention.
Question is can they work together for a common goal. I would hope to think
so.
