Here is a collage (below) I put together for the FOHBC web site last year. I think these covers are really cool. Bottles and Extras is a great magazine. Please become a member of the NEW FOHBC. We are growing rapidly. Many great things are on the horizon. The Winds of Change. I think we can get to 2,000 members in the next year. Also with Pam Selenak as Public Relations Director, we are now aggressively positioning the FOHBC as your organization. She is selling memberships left and right. We also are openly asking for articles and story contributions. There is so much to show and say.
