IFCA Annual Meeting - Our 2010 annual meeting will coincide with our April Giggling Dragons (youth group) social on Friday, April 9, from 6:45 to 8:45 pm at the West YMCA.  The annual meeting will begin about 7:45 pm in the party room adjacent to the pool area.  Cost for non-YMCA members to swim is $3.90 per child, and $8.50 per adult.  IFCA will provide a treat.  Please note:  no childcare is available after 7 pm at the YMCA.  For questions, please contact Monica Clements at: cfamily@cableone.net.
  Calling all interested members:  IFCA’s Board of Directors is seeking additional and new Board members to participate in leading our adoption group.  If you have a particular talent or interest, and/or desire to help direct our group, (or if you have questions), please contact our new President Monica Clements, cfamily@cableone.net.  The Board meets every other month, and we ask for a minimum of a two-year commitment.  This doesn’t require all that much time, but the amount of time you devote benefits all of us in this growing adoption community.  Thanks for considering serving as a new IFCA Board member!

It’s time to renew your IFCA membership!  Or, if you haven’t joined us yet, please do.  We encourage all families to complete and return our IFCA membership form so we can update our member database, including your contact information.  Your $20 per year helps us offset event expenses - we greatly appreciate your support!  Please download the 2010 Membership Form (mailing address to send checks and forms is on this form).
