• Beginning in 2023, the GCRA Newsletter will be distributed via email instead of postal mail. The costs of printing and postage have become prohibitive. In order to keep membership dues at $20 per year, this step must be taken. Those who really wish to continue receiving the newsletter in paper format by postal mail, the option of doing so comes at a cost of $40 per year as your membership dues. This option is only available to members in the U.S. International members will receive their newsletters via email only. Membership runs for the calendar beginning in January. If you submit your dues later in the year, you will still receive the spring newsletter, and your membership will renew again in January. The Membership and Store pages have been updated with the payment options. If you have any questions regarding this change, please feel free to contact Duane Stabler: destabler@outlook.com. Please put "GCRA Question" in the subject line.
