The WGA BODs met in Appleton on Sunday, February 24th, 2013 from 9 AM until 4:30 PM to elect officers and organize the WGA activities for the coming year

President – Jim Bliefnick of JimandLinda
Vice President – Pete Quella of Labrat_wr

Treasurer – Renee Vanselow-Tapp of Auntie Nae

Our thanks to Webmaster Brian Kling of Team Black-Cat for his service as WGA Vice President last year.

The BOD reviewed the finances and structure of the WGA (with legal council present) and we are a sound and well-structured group.

Our Website continues to grow and develop to help keep the members informed, as well other social media sites.

We are hoping that more members will organize CITOs across the state this year. The WGA can provde limited financial support, if requested.

Planning is well underway for the Interste Campout on the WI/MN border.

The WGA Geocoin Comittee will be discussing offering a geocoin somtime during the next year. We still have a supply of 2011/2012 WGA coins in stock and discussed different outlets for marketing them.

The Fall GeoPicnic will be in mid September at Governor Thompson State Park in northwest Wisconsin, pending availability.

The WGA is looking to OWN a geocache in each State Park in Wisconsin. If successful, we will need trail bosses for maintenance. We will be seeking guidance (from the ‘powers-that-be’) for permission.

The WGA is hoping to e-mail 4 Newsletters this year, as another media source for members and friends.

The Squirrel was present at the meeting as an invited guest, but he did not comment on any items on the Agenda.

Our thanks to the Daniels family for allowing the use of a conference room for our meeting. They are very gracious hosts!
