Jenny Keesey, our new NW Region Board Representative for MFSO agreed to present and has been in contact with the organizers. Jenny has an invitation for the membership below:
Hi Members:
I will be participating in the WSU Progressive Conference at Pullman on Saturday, April 21st. The timeslot is 3:30 to 5:00 pm. WSU is providing dorm rooms at no charge for speakers.
I am wondering if anyone would like to share the timeslot with me and speak out? We also have been invited to table all day that day. I will be driving over on Friday afternoon and back on either Saturday evening or Sunday morning.
I will be talking about MFSO as an organization and would love to have someone talk more about their personal experience or a related topic of interest (i.e. VA benefits, etc.).
If you are interested, please let me know as soon as possible so I can secure an extra room.
Peace,
Jenny
There are opportunities other than public speaking with this invitation, ie helping with the table and MFSO promotional materials, the opportunity to get together and spend time with other MFSO members on the drive to Pullman, WA, overnight Friday and Saturday and the drive back Sunday. Please respond directly to Jenny, email jjkeesey@yahoo.com or phone 360-490-2048.
It would be helpful to me if you would also let me know if you plan to attend. I have long wanted for MFSO to have a presence in the Eastern part of our state and for MFSO - WA chapter to receive a direct invitation seems a genuine opportunity to widen our presence within the state. We do have some members across the mountains and recently I heard from one of our Marine Mom members with grave concerns that her son will be called up for another deployment in Iraq. She wouldn't mind the 'support' from other military families.
respect,
Lietta
