Zip Code Report

The purpose of assigning zip codes to a Chapter is to identify the Member's nearest Chapter, essentially by their home zip code. This report is a tool to maintain and update the existing Zip code / Chapter assignments. To reassign a zip code to another chapter, simply fill in the new chapter under the NEW CHAPTER column, next to the corresponding zip code to be re-assigned. To be included in the next report, updates to the Assigned Zip Report must be submitted by month-end, by a District Officer, to dshaw@gwrra.org.
