Meeting this weekend at MFCA

[PJDeluhery]

A GREAT MFCA was had by all!  I will be posting pictures from the show as soon as I can. Catherine Cesario-Pousson and Richard were there again this year. She brought a stunning piece that won a gold and best flat. I wish my French were better. 

Thanks to all who said hello and attended our ad hoc meeting.

I am starting to pack this afternoon. Might not sleep tonight

Shockingly poor trip planning, Kevin,     but I understand.
 
Yes we will remember Carl.    My friend too!
 
I will report on MFCA on my return with pictures of all the flats. Stay tuned.
 
Thanks for the well-wishes. I wish you all could be there - just like I'd like to be there for Euro this year.
 
That gets me thinking - always dangerous. Maybe we should add a travel service and discounted travel rates to our member benefits. 
 
BTW, the "official" Hawaiian Shirt color for this year's MFCA is Bright Yellow. Look for me and my crew as you make your rounds and say hello.

Sorry I will not be there, Pat. Will be on a Med cruise.
Please remember Carl Gruen...without him, many of us would have never painted a flat.
He was a good friend of mine and I miss him.
Thanks,
Kevin
PS...henceforth, the Long Island Club will present the Carl Gruen Memorial Award at our annual exhibition for the best flat.

DO take some great pictures too please?


Many years ago I lived near King of Prussia - PA and found out about the yearly MFCA show the year after we moved - still a bit bitter as I also am now on a separate coast.


Hope it is a great show and smashing get together of Flatees.

For those of us attending MFCA this weekend in Valley Forge, Pa, I will again be calling together a "rump session" (unofficial) meeting of the BFFS at Noon on Saturday in the food court just outside the registration table. I will announce it over the P.A., as in the past.
 
Hope to see many of you there.
