Dropcap Letter Cynthia's absence from WMFAA for a few years did not really mean that she has forgotten this association she founded almost 17 years ago.  Why the come back?  She said, "Some members have asked me to check what's going on, and se if I can bring in some fresh projects that would benefit our membership.  In this regard, I have just launched the "Fund From The Heart" (FFTH) project.  My main goal is to attain unity among our membership by supporting each other during our times of an emergent hardship; and through WMFAA's FFTH, we may find some rewarding solutions.  To keep this project moving on forward,  I am going to the membership, explain the benefits and become a role model."
