For along time I have asked the same thing what does the VFBA do for its members,now I can tell you after going to a few functions that they are there for the members we just don't see the work they do. The vfba is only as good as what its members want it to be... There is still work in some areas that I would like to see the VFBA do,like a discount card for volunteer members like the CFA vollies have,discount products from some of the CFS suppliers,discount holidays,discount accommodation but above all I would like to see some new blood on the state committee. I don't mean to be rude and this is not an attack at any of the members on the state committee,but time for new blood to work with the old ones.
All in all the VFBA are doing a job and one that does take them away from there homes and family's almost every week to all parts of the state, so as to meet members.Discuss problems and try and resolve them,on another note there in the process of trying to hold onto the history of the service with its two shed that house old appliances..
I was once a member who asked all the time what the VFBA did now I know and I shall good on you guys keep the good work up but hey let some new blood in at a state level.....
