Annual Rose Memorial Service

In an effort to continue the tradition, the Planning Committee has once again scheduled the service following the luncheon on Thursday, September 28, 2006 in Traverse City, Michigan at MASA Fall Conference. The presentation of roses to honor our deceased members will be included in the service, and the roses will be displayed at the general sessions through the rest of the conference.
