Twas the week before Christmas when all through the headquarters of MAFP,
The staff were sending reminders about MAFP dues and year-end CME.
Year-end foundation donation letters were mailed to our supporters with care,
Thanking them and wishing that 2020 will be as successful, as we prepare.
Scholarship applications were sent to high school counselors to make it known,
MAFPF has money to give, just by writing about a family doc and their medical home.
We invited our exhibitors to visit with family docs at three of our 2020 events,
We offered the Academy Advantage, a $600 savings as one of their Christmas presents.
The finishing touches of the MAFP Journal were done and sent to the printer in hopes,
Our members will receive before end of 2019 to show off some fun times and good folks.
Now Grantham! Now Jackson! Carlton and Smith!
On, residents! On, students! On former presidents with!
Hopes and wishes for a Merry Christmas and blessings all year long,
Thank you for your membership and commitment to keep FAMILY MEDICINE STRONG.
