Do you want to advance the framing profession?  We need your help.

We are looking for framers and suppliers who can give a minimal amount

of time to make our organization grow.  Do you like to make phone calls,

greet people at meetings, shop for refreshments, or plan meetings?  Do you have an item that we might donate for a doorprize? Let us know in what capacity you are interested at metroatlanticppfa@hotmail.com.

The benefits of meeting new framers and making new contacts will give a boost to your business.
