NFCA Honors "Fraternalists-in-Action" for Volunteerism

The National Fraternal Congress of America (NFCA) is proud to recognize the following Fraternal MVPs (Most Valuable Participants) for the month of November 2006. Fraternal MVPs are "Fraternalists-in-Action" who volunteer their time and energy to strengthen their communities through participation in local lodge activities and other charitable endeavors.

These five Fraternal MVPs were selected randomly from the 20 weekly MVPs for the month of November and will travel to Washington, D.C., to meet with and be recognized by their members of Congress. These MVPs will share their fraternal experiences with their elected officials and, in their own words, convey what it means to them to be able to participate in these fraternal activities and make a difference in their communities.

Fraternal MVPs are part of the NFCA's "Fraternalists-in-Action" program, which recognizes individuals whose unique stories best represent 21st Century fraternalism. These fraternalists demonstrate exceptional compassion and fraternal pride through their volunteer activities.
