<p class="MsoNormal">Greeting,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As this year’s President of OASFAA I realized that the first day of a new school year is drawing closer so I’m taking a moment to say hello and wish everyone a great year! The OASFAA organization, its members and the list serve are great
ways to get assistance with questions and scenario’s as well as talk you off the ledge on a rough day.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would encourage all new and established members to use all the resources OASFAA has available to offer you. Not only can you get your questions answered here on the list serve, but as members of OASFAA you are able to send support staff
to specialized training, decentralized training and the OASFAA conference which will be held in Tulsa this year, April 10-12, 2019. Some of these trainings are free to members and/or offered at a reduced rate.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I encourage all of you who are not already involved in preparing for the OASFAA conference to volunteer. We have several committees that could still use some help. If you are interested in serving on a committee and getting your foot
in the door of this awesome organization please send me your name, contact information and the committee you would like to serve on. The committees’ are as follows: Site Selection, Entertainment, Local Arrangements and Program (everyone should take a turn
on the program committee because this is your chance to let us know what sessions you would be interested in and to introduce yourself to those people who can present those sessions). Once I get your information I will definitely pass it on to the Committee
Chairs. Chairs please contact new volunteers as soon as possible to get them involved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, or ideas you may have. I hope to see all of you in April in Tulsa. My cell number is (405) 627-0738, my work number is below and I am more than happy and willing to visit with
any/all of you at any time. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your interest in what OASFAA has to offer and for sharing this email with others who might not be members!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheerfully,<o:p></o:p></p>
