‘Tis the Season for Thanks & Giving!

We are looking for HFMA members to give back to their communities this season.  We have multiple community events scheduled throughout the state.  Please take time to participate in one of the events or grab friends and family and create your own!  Here is a link to register your new event or to join one http://www.cvent.com/d/9hqzky/4W!  Each volunteer counts as an entry for a drawing of a $100 donation to the organization that the member is contributing their time to.   We look forward to seeing and hearing about your events!
