Friends and Colleagues,

Each month our agency publishes an interactive and informative newsletter for clients and colleagues.  However, some groups strip out the html code - so we have created the following links.

The current issue is at < AFI-LLC Newsletter - February 2012 >

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, which is to mean six more weeks of winter -- brrrr!.  This newsletter continues our 2012 motto for everyone in our profession...'Together We're Better'.  We continue to look for unique educational opportunities - from online and distance learning, to conferences and training opportunities.
