Where Towers ask questions and get answers... as members.
Come to Hot Springs July 11, 2009 from 10:00am to 4:00pm at the 2720 Club- 2720 Albert Pike. We have many topics to discuss including Length and Weight Laws and Private Property Towing.
We also have Dan Messina of Southwest Tow Operators as a guest speaker.

The Association had a very productive meeting February 20th. If you missed it, you missed a great discussion about the future of our Association. The association will be restructuring itself over the next several months. We will be redrawing the regions and restructuring the Board.
The membership voted unanimously to hold elections in November of this year. We hope to elect a new board and 5 district directors. The board will be examining the bylaws and more information will be released in the newsletter.
An online discussion is currently taking place in the Arkansas section of www.tow411.net
