MEMBERSHIP Cindy Morrell, membership@pgica.org

Happy September! Summer is NOT over here at PGICA, the
place is “sizzling” with activity. Whether you are here or away,
I hope you are enjoying a summer season filled with family,
fun and adventure.

I’ve had the opportunity to welcome several of our new
members. I’m always interested to hear how they “came” to
PGICA. This past month I met a fellow who had been at a
Fourth of July neighborhood gathering. He met new friends
who were all members of Clubs here at PGICA. The folks
were so much fun he joined PGICA! Are you inviting your
neighbors to join our Association? PLEASE DO! Word of
mouth is our best advertising. Please share your
Commentator with new neighbors or leave a copy at your
Doctor or Dentist Office.

Calling all members – Please volunteer! The best way to make friends is to get involved. PGICA offers many
opportunities to volunteer. Call the office to volunteer for a variety of jobs, from being a Board Member, staffing the office
or preparing the Commentators. Consider taking an active role in your PGICA Club or Group.

Mark your calendar, the PGICA Annual Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday,
November 7 at 7 p.m.

PGICA will host a New Member Reception Wednesday, October 25 from
5 to 7 p.m. If you have never attended a New Member Event please come. Call
941-637-1655 to reserve a spot.

I’m excited to welcome these new members who joined in June and July.

COFFEE WITH THE PGICA BOARD
September heralds the return of this activity. Join the PGICA Board for coffee and conversation on
the second Friday of each month at 9 a.m. in Room #4. This is an informal gathering of members
of the Board and Association members. The purpose is to share concerns and put forth
suggestions. All members are welcome to attend.
