Dear NFMS & Oregon Council Clubs,
Whether or not your club has a junior's group or not, I really wanted you all to see the second edition of the AFMS juniors newsletter, "Crack the News".
This issue is absolutely fantastic! I do not remember kids when I was a kid, writing so beautifully and with such a freshness of spirit. They are really enjoying our hobby and it is exciting to read what these kids are writing about.
Please remember, even if you don't have a formal juniors group in your club, but you do have families who bring their child with them to your meetings, these kids can receive the "Crack the News" newsletter for free. They can join in the fun and write articles for this newsletter too. Please spread this news to your club. I hope you will enjoy this newsletter as much as I have.
Happy Holidays and I look forward to us working together next year,
Jennifer Haley, NFMS President
