Membership Renewals are Due in January!

All Industry, Associate, and Friends memberships in the PGWA are due for renewal in January 2015. The exception is if you joined in August 2014 or later, then your membership is good through 2015. Major donors to the AVA Fund also have extended membership benefits. As a courtesy, renewal notices were mailed out in late November to all members whose membership is expiring.

Renewal is easy! Just do one of the following:
  - pay by PayPal through the membership page on our website
  - mail a check payable to PGWA to: PGWA Membership, 40 Fourth Street #284, Petaluma, CA 94952
