KICK START your Membership Benefits! After joining ASG, send us a message and we will get you connected with our Chapter and email you some helpful information while you await your Membership Package from National HQ. 

Lou Burns, 1VP, is our Membership Chair.

Please contact her if you have any questions on your membership.

We are looking for a business to make our name tags as our previous supplier no longer does them.

Terry Petti is our Sunshine Chair. Her cards and calls are a special way of showing each member how much we care. Do you know someone with a special occasion, major celebration, concern, health issue or loss of a loved one?

Contact Terry or use the Contact Us form so she can send a ray of sunshine their way.
