Call for Participation 2011-12

MCOA recognizes that Members' volunteer time is as valuable as the dues annually contributed, but we can only accomplish our many goals and objectives with assistance from our members.   Volunteering just a few hours a month in combination with other COA Directors will provide MCOA the talents and cooperation necessary for accomplishing the membership's set tasks that we are pledged to achieve in FY2012.
