** ATTENTION! - We are VERY pleased to have a special guest from the Georgia State Parks System attending the meeting this weekend. We will conduct business as usual, and hopefully engage in a great dialogue with our guest. PLEASE be on your best Geocacher behavior as this is our first chance to make a good impression on them!

Date - 08.11.01

Event - 1) FUN!!! We will have some planned events that will be fun...some training on use of the GPS and technique has been discussed. I will post details here as they solidify. 2) GGA business meeting for a brief time. Everyone interested is encouraged to sit in and join the GGA!
