National and Regional GFA Meetings

   The 2016 general meeting was held at GeerCrest Farm near Salem, Oregon
on the weekend of July 29, 30 and 31, 2016.

The meeting was hosted by Erika Ursla & Jim Toler of GeerCrest,
who is also the GFA Trustee for Region 6.

The Officers Meeting was held in two parts at the Grand Hotel (dinner event) in Salem, and completed at The Aurora Colony Museum in Silverton, Oreon. The Business Meeting was held and reports given at GeerCrest on Sunday, July 31, 2016. Ken Geer facilitated the Business Meeting, and elections were held. The program was exceptional, and the GeerCrest Reunion Committee should feel proud of the outstanding activities, both educational and historical. Images from this event can be viewed here.
