ANNOUNCEMENTS & Other News
WHAT'S HAPPENING? The GFSA publishes a quarterly newsletter.
The latest NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS are now online via this link:
2024-25 WINTER NEWSLETTER
Letter from the GFSA President
Hello everyone,
I can’t believe it’s been another year! 2024 was a very good year with the purchase of the new chairs and the updates on the building. We will move into 2025 in pretty good shape. Please remember that dues are due in January, and you can take them to Mandy Wood, at the City National Bank in Gladewater or you can mail them to GFSA. The dues are $25.00 a year.
The Board has a lot of exciting things planned for this year! One fun thing to be looking forward to is a night out, at the GFSA building, with a dinner and a movie. Details to come. Board member, Jennifer Hand, is rotating off the Board in January. The Board would like to thank Jennifer for the years she served on the board. Jennifer’s computer skills and her Advertising and Marketing background have blessed GFSA tremendously. We love you and are going to miss you so much!
We would like to welcome our new board member, Sharon Scurlock Berryman. Sharon is a 1976 Graduate.
Please remind people to rent the building. For information about renting, contact Gary Cox at 903-720-0348.
Let’s Have a Great New Year!
Danny Sorrells, President of GFSA
