Message from the President....

Terri Kingery Crain
With Thanksgiving behind us...pun intended...and the Holiday Season in full swing it is time to start planning for 2013!  
 
We are excited to announce that in 2013 our new GMSCV Breakfast location will be TPC Valencia! A huge shout of thanks to Embassy Suites for allowing us to have the run of their breakfast buffet for the past two years.  Your service and professionalism has been outstanding! 
 
Another note on breakfast will be a slight price increase.  The new pricing will be $20 member and $25 non-member.  If you plan on attending every month I would like to suggest purchasing a package.  Purchasing a package not only saves you 15%, but it also saves you time and hassle by automatically being pre-registered to the events you select.   Package Member Form....
