Federation Membership Committee Chairman, Dawn Rowe is asking for your help!
The Federation serves as a great networking tool for Associate members and Fairs. The Membership Committee is asking each Fair to get your vendors and entertainers involved in the Federation. It is great visibility for them and a great resource for Fairs.
The Membership Committee has developed recruitment cards for your use. You should receive a supply of them prior to your Fair.
Joining the Federation is now easier than ever with our new online membership dues payment—just encourage your vendors and entertainers to go to our website at w and join under the Membership tab.
