NF was in need of a web presence in order to present all of it's information in one place, accessible to anyone needing to access it with an internet connection.  That need was filled by Amanda and others who took an immense amount of time; hundreds of hours; to put together the first NF website.  The current site is the 2nd generation of that work that began so many years ago.  Our great thanks is due to Amanda and others who worked with her in the formative NF tech years to bring the website to it current usefulness.  The free and useful Google tools makes connecting with and maintaining contact with each other all the more efficient.  The added forms for registration and epay options make interacting with NF online quicker and easier.  Thank you to all who have made this new tool possible.
