Hello
This is John McGuire. Have been a member for a while, but realized the other day I have not been receiving any communication from the group for over a year it seems. I haven't been getting any of the quarterly or annual publications and I'm curious as to what has happened.
Thanks for looking into it or pointing me in the right direction.
John
