Defining the state into quadrants for purpose of rotating WGA events has always been a “gray” area. This was one of many concerns addressed at the recent 2017 BOD meeting. It was decided to divide the state into quadrants from the geographical center of the state, which is Pittsville, or N44 37.458 W89 59.646. Since the WGA Spring Campout & Fall Picnic have already been planned and the venues booked, it was decided that going forward, this division should be used to determine future events. Events will continue to be rotated as they have in the past. The map shows the new divisions.
