F.Y.I. ceased publication in April 2000. Most of our previous editions are contained in these archives.

F.Y.I. was created to enhance communication between the JPAs and the fairs. Communication is a two-way street, and CFSA still wants to hear from you, too. If you have any ideas or comments about the newsletter, or any news or announcements, simply phone, fax or mail them to:
