As was introduced at our last lunch, the Membership Committee has come up with a new program that will reward current members who become more active in VoS CFMA! All current VoS CFMA members are invited to join a new committee. Once a month, we will ask the committee chairs for the names of all members who joined their committee that month.    Then, we will draw one name and that person will win a $25 gift card!  It is just that easy! Check out all the different committees: http://vos.cfma.org/valleyofthesun/Home/ We need your help! We need your ideas! We need you!
