Calendar of Scheduled Meetings and Events

Monthly meetings are usually held on the 3rd Saturday of each month, 9:00 AM – Noon, at local sponsors' facilities, high schools and colleges.  

May 19 - 20, 2012 -- GCWA Spring Retreat
The Spring Retreat is here!  If you haven't already signed up, you can register at the retreat.  Don't missi it! 

Here's information that will help you decide which classes to take:
Who is doing what at the Retreat (a MS Word document)
2012 Retreat Class Schedule (a MS Excel spreadsheet)
Registration Form (a fillable PDF document) Please read the following instructions carefully:
The retreat registration form is a “fillable” form, i.e., you can open it in Adobe Reader and fill in the blanks right on your computer.  After you complete the form, please use “Save As” to save it under a name that can be identified, like you last name and/or initials.  E-mail the saved form to Ed Peine at the address at the bottom of the form.  Please DO NOT click “Submit Form” (usually near the top, right hand side below the tool bar) because it will not go to Ed for proper processing if you do that. 

Another option is to just print out a hard copy after you fill it out, or there is always the old-fashioned way of printing out the blank form and fill it in by hand and either snail-mail it to Ed or hand deliver it to him at the April meeting.
