March Membership Madness Results GWA signs up 23 new and returning members in March and eight members each brought in one new one. So, I assigned numbers to the eight and asked Carol Michel to pick a number between 1 and 8. She picked 7, which was assigned to Chris VanCleave. So, Chris will receive the three books donated by St. Lynn’s Press for GWA’s March Membership Madness Month. Thanks to all of the members who encouraged others to join our group and to St. Lynn’s Press for its donation. Welcome New Members Nanette Alton C.
