The DC/Baltimore Chapter of the PFRA held its latest meeting on September 28, with author and PFRA Member Mike Richman speaking about his book, "George Allen: A Football Life". After the talk, the group headed to Dogwood Tavern for lunch.

We are hoping to hold additional events in the near future, and are actively looking for guest speakers. If you are interested in speaking to the group somewhere in the DC/Baltimore area, you can reach out to Dan Neumann at DanielGlennNeumann@gmail.com.

The Great Plains Chapter held a virtual meeting on August 14. Two new PFRA members from Minnesota, Ed Edmonds and Dan Levitt, were welcomed to the Chapter. The group discussed potential speakers for the 2025 Convention and reported their ideas to George Bozeka.

Our next PFRA Chapter Meeting will be held on September 28th in the same Falls Church, VA location as our previous meeting. Author Mike Richman will speak to us about his book, "George Allen: A Football Life". You can buy autographed copies of the book at www.mikerichmanjournalist.com/books -- or can contact Mike directly at 240-676-1270 to work out a check/Zelle/Venmo payment.

At this meeting, we will also take some time to discuss possible future PFRA events and get-togethers, and are particularly interested in exploring a future event in the Baltimore area.

The meeting will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday September 28th at the Mary Riley Styles Public Library (Upper Level Conference Room) in Falls Church, VA. After the meeting (at approximately 12:30) we will head to lunch at the Dogwood Tavern nearby.

There's usually plenty of street parking and limited spots next to the library, and a couple of blocks down there's also parking available on the top two floors of the Kaiser Permanante parking deck on 111 Park Ave.

We would ask that you RSVP to DanielGlennNeumann@gmail.com so we have an idea of who to expect. Hope you can make it!
