Words from our Queen
Portia Wireman

Hi! I am Portia Wireman.

I am proud to represent NLBRA of MI as your
queen. I started in NLBRA

I am very grateful to
NLBRA for the

brought my way. I am

all the people that are involved. We are
like a family.

If any of you need
anything and I can be of some help please look
me up and I'll
do the best I can for you.
