    Just a head’s up…. Yes, that was MGGA’s emailing renewal reminders for MGGA membership - THE website automatically sent out 2024 membership notices two times so far. You may pay online if you wish, but if you are not comfortable using the online pay from the MGGA website, feel free to send me a check. I’ll happily deposit them - I have already received a couple.

    Membership runs from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31st of each year. We're already planning a great annual meeting for June 2024.

    On related note - We’re currently looking to fill one board seat. We filled the Secretary position in June, so we’ll be fully staffed once we get a new board member going. If you are interested, contact me or any officer/board member for more info. It is a great crew and organization to work with. Hope you can donate a little time to the cause.
