This thread is to simply attempt to compile and orchestrate future events/G2G's for the GPDA.
Currently we have a good majority of members spread out across the state of which should provide a good bit of input for possibilities. With that being said, we should be able to organize G2G's that will allow for any prospective members to meet one of the two required attendances.
This has been recommended thus far;
