District IV Fall Meeting 2023
District IV Fall Meeting 2023
The Disrict IV Fall Meeting was informative and fun. This year our FFGC Officers have a huge mission - to celebrate our Federation's Centennial by honoring the mission that has guided it since the Federation was founded in 1924. Our officers had a novel way of presenting the information: using a song-and-dance. Perhaps you had to be there... But if you weren't you can review the FFGC Fall Tour Presentation.
