The MFA continues to have only virtual monthly meetings which are usually on the fourth Tuesday of each month.  These are supplemented by several “Field Trip” events during the year.  The field trips will usually be on a Saturday morning to see a department’s apparatus and their stations.  We will then plan to have lunch together.  Remember, the monthly meetings of the MFA will be conducted “virtually”. 

The access code and directions for access to the meeting will be provided via separate e-mail.   Once provided, we encourage you to load the link and try it.  If your computer has a camera when you open the link, you should see yourself.  Play with it as you are not connected to anything.  Doing this will get you used to the system.  Once you do this, click on “Join the meeting” and you will be all set to attend.

We had a problem again in August with the IFBA supplied Google Meet link. Elliott Fried followed up with the IFBA and we now feel the issues have been corrected, but until we have a successful meeting for the entire period and with phone access, we do not want to schedule a speaker.

Our next virtual meeting will be on the fourth TUESDAY, 23 September 2025  beginning at 19:30 (Eastern time).  Please let us know if you need assistance in using this meeting method. It is not hard, and we can walk you through the steps, BUT ahead of meeting night!! Remember if you cannot “computer in”, you can call in with the number provided.  We hope YOU will mark your calendar and plan to come online later this month.
