.@tfjtolson says the Association is “made up of those who show up”. True. #Crozetrealcrozetva
I pulled this one out and made it the lede because it’s succinct and accurate. Lots of stuff happens in these meetings, lots of information and sharing. Believe it or not (and I know it’s hard to believe) this is where progress happens.
