President


 Happy Easter OYFA!  We hope you had a fun weekend from Progressive to the Cookout to VMAs!  With only a handful of events until the end of the year, we personally are asking all of you to start thinking about what you would like to see OYFA achieve going into the 30th anniversary.  There will be multiple opportunities to give us your ideas, so get hype for that! 

Sincerely,
30 Prez
