Stay Wolfpack!
The key to staying in the loop is
knowing where to find the
information. One of the easiest places
these days is facebook. If you haven’t
found us yet, the Wolfpack FRG page
is at:

The next best way is to be on your
Company Distribution list. If you are
not getting emails from your FRG
Leader, it is simply because they don’t
have your email address. If you
would like to receive emails please
contact Karen Foshee, TF Wolfpack
FRSA, so that she can get you linked
in. Keep in mind, the email
information includes what is
