In the afternoon the members met in small groups for a brainstorming session to develop plans and ideas for the PFFMA. They also toured the Discovery Center to evaluate the displays. The results of the brainstorming sessions and the evaluations will be compiled to aid in planning future activities. 

After a hard day's work the meeting adjourned to the Chambersburg Country Club for a banquet, awards ceremony and stories by "Pennsylvania Jack". Dustin Wirt (left) presents the George H.
