CFP.
Our membership is growing fast, and with over 3000 newsletter
subscribers that's a lot of potential new members to become a part of
our family and sharing in this experience. For only $35 for an
entire year, your news can appear here, on our blog, your items
can be added to our CFP Shop, and there are tons of promotion
opportunities. Go here to join:

And our current National Coordinator George Arnold is moving to New
Zealand, and starting us up in that country now, and that has meant a
lot of exciting changes for us right here. See below for the full story.
This also means that we have to have all members move to an
automated payment system - ie. paypal - no more cheques can be
processed. If you haven't already done this - it is time to
renew/join using this method so you can continue to be a part
of a great organization

Thank-you
George Arnold
 George
Arnold, our current National Coordinator is moving to New Zealand, and even
though he'll still be a part of the Federation of Poets, and is one of the
original members, his hands on approach for our Canadian members will surely be
missed, He will continue the CFP tradition in his new home in New Zealand
as he joins his wife. His contact George@federationofpoets.com will still be the
same, so be sure to keep in touch with him.
It has been a joy, a privilege and an honour to work with George all these
years, and I deeply wish him much success in his new country.
New National
Coordinator
Cheryl Xavier is our incoming National Coordinator.
Cheryl was an immediate powerhouse for the CFP as she created the
Peel-Halton Federation of Poets, and attended numerous events on behalf of the
CFP. In addition to her amazing skills, she is also a publisher of poetry books,
and has assisted members in their book production cost effectively.
Feel free to contact Cheryl if you're interested in opening up a
Federation/Group in your area.
