Greetings from the other side of "The Fence".As we "nail" the first half of the year and start looking over "the fence" into the second half of the year, we, as Texas Fence Association Members, should all be proud of what your membership in Texas Fence Association ("TFA") and American Fence Association ("AFA") have accomplished.
We have had two successful quarterly meetings this year.In March, at the Marriott in Fort Worth, things were really "flying" fast-from golf balls to bocce balls.June "led" us to place our "bets" on The Woodlands in Houston.We had a "hot dawg" of a good time with the celebration of being the "top dawg" of AFA (CHAPTER OF THE YEAR (again).
Thank you very much to our sponsors:
