WSWGA Email Issue
It was recently brought to my attention that some email messages from the Registrar (Falinda Hall) are ending up in the recipients spam or junk email folders. There are a verity of reasons this maybe happening as different email hosting companies like Gmail, AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. use different types of spam filters to determine if the email is unsolicited or dangerous. However, if an email name and email address is in your email contacts, then it generally passes the spam or junk filter test. The email program used by the Registrar and sometimes our Webmaster uses a slightly different sender name which is probably causing the issue.

To alleviate the problem, it is highly recommended you setup two (2) new contacts in your email program which are as follows:
  1. Name: WSWGA Registrar
    Email: frhall557@gmail.com

  2. Name: WSWGA Webmaster
    Email: webmaster@wswga.org
Thank you,
John Logan
Your Webmaster

WSWGA's Gift Of Giving

WOW is right! All of our members, tournament volunteers and donors as well as the host cities should be very proud of our organization and what we are doing. Just think, we are a non-profit organization helping other non-profit organizations. The more revenue we can generate through donations, raffles, and other sources at our annual tournaments, the more profit we produce to help another worthy cause. Fantastic job ladies!

In Memory
Memory We would like to be informed of any WSWGA members who have passed away. As you know, we try to recognize these ladies at our annual membership meetings. However, we sometimes are not made aware of their passing. If we know the names as well as when and where they died, we often can find their obituary on the internet which we can post here on our website for all to see. In addition, we need to remove them from our contacts list.

Therefore, please send our Webmaster an Email by clicking webmaster@wswga.org whenever you become aware of a member we have lost.
Paying Your Annual Dues Is Of Great Significance
We would like to remind all of our members of the importance of paying your annual dues regardless of whether you plan on playing in our annual tournaments. Among the benefits of belonging to our organization, is that we help support many charities in the Wyoming communities where we play our annual tournaments. Since 2004, those charities have included various Animal Humane Societies, cancer foundations, Coalition Against Violence, hospice, and the Wyoming Make-A-Wish foundation. Your dues, as well as participation in our tournaments, make these charitable donations possible.

As you all know, it is not an easy task to host one of our annual tournaments. It is a lot of work for the local tournament committees. One of their rewards for all their effort is the ability to make a WSWGA donation to a charity of their choice in their local community. Even if you are not playing in that years' tournament, payment of your annual dues help them make this happen.

During the past several years, your Board has discussed the raising of our "dues reinstatement fee" to discourage those members who choose to pay their annual dues only if they plan on playing in that years' tournament. No doubt, the subject will be revisited perodically over the next few years. In the meantime, the Board asks for everyones cooperation in supporting the WSWGA organization, its local tournament committees and the many wonderful Wyoming charitable organizations by paying your dues each year regardless of your participation in the tournaments.

Finally, a special thanks to all those members who have graciously supported our organization by paying their dues each and every year - even when they are unable to participate in all of our tournaments.
