NEW! GWRRA TRAVEL STORIES
Don’t forget that we’ve added a new feature on the GWRRA Homepage.  GWRRA has created another place for Members to have their stories read. It’s called The GWRRA Travel Stories Page. The new page is located at www.gwrra.org at the bottom of the Homepage titled GWRRA Travel Stories. This will give you, the Members, another outlet to share your experiences with your fellow Gold Wingers.

You must be a current Member of GWRRA to have your story considered for publication. Please submit only original Travel Stories to gwrratravelstories@gwrra.org. The stories should be no longer than two typed pages or no more than 1,000 words. You must include your full name and membership number at the top of the page. Your story will not be considered without this information. Due to space limitations and/or story content, not all submissions may be published. Please do not submit photos with your story, they will not be published. There will be a limit of five stories published each month and, at the end of the month, they will be archived for future reading.

Split Payment Plan
GWRRA is now offering a payment plan for your membership renewal.  Instead of paying one lump sum, you can now renew your membership for one, two, or three years and make two payments.  Simply pay half the first month you renew and the rest the following month.  There are no additional charges or steps you have to go through.  What could be easier?
