Directors,
Every year the Directory needs to be updated. Keeping it up-to-date is impossible without your help. If any of your information has changed (you have a new job, phone number changed, etc) please update your information here on the web site. Click on the Directory link at the top of the page. On that page, you’ll see a link that says “To update your directory information click here.“ That link will take you to a JotForm. Enter the new info, and click Submit. Thanks for your help.
Congratulations to Roma, Veterans, and Vela! The Valley is represented very well!
